I think we’ve said it once before… but I think I’ll say it again so everyone can get the record straight in their heads. Silika Kills It. Since we first teamed up with the talented team of artists and craftsmen based out of Van Nuys, CA we’ve been working hard to show you all of the new innovations they are bringing to the table. What we like most about Silika above all is their ability to create pieces...

Indeed one of the tastiest collaborations we’ve seen lately is that of T-Funk and Dosa’s vapor rig, available on Highpriorityglass.com. This particular rig has a classic ball-shaped body, which gives you that oil-riggy airflow, but it hardly has that small feeling that most ball rigs have. That’s probably because Dosa and T-Funk worked the hell out of it.   It’s hard to argue that the color scheme on this piece isn’t...

We’ve been big fans of Carver B’s work for a while now, and we were pleasantly surprised to see a sort of new style come out of the works in his 2012 Clear tube series. His work with stratified color speaks volumes about his skill, and now we’re seeing him apply that same skill to clear work, proving himself even further. To get a better idea of the Clear Tube series, we asked the Carver himself about his techniques and how his fine...

Healthstone Glass is a company that has only been around for the last couple years, and within this short time these guys have made a big name for themselves through their revolutionary designs. The Healthstone system is based around their proprietary Vapor Stones: a completely new take on the old ways of smoking essential oils and other concentrates. The Vapor Stone itself is the center of the system. The “stone” is a small disc close...

It seems as though Silika has answered our prayers, and then some! On our last post we challenged Silika to bring some heady work to their fabulous Concentrate Reclaimer and not only have they done that but they’ve also prepared for those odd moments where you don’t have your water pipe on you… You can see that the gobe and the chamber have been worked, but they keep the concentrate catch on the bottom clear so you can...

  It may just be our taste in music but usually at the IgniteMe office we like to have chill music going on in the background at all times. Something that encourages us to work and explore the industry but at the same time we like something we can sit back on the couch and dab to after a long days toil. If you’re a fan of artists like Aphex Twin, TOKiMONSTA, or Flying Lotus you may want to check out Tycho Tycho is the music...

Here at IgniteMe we love to feature artists on the rise, and after only 7 months on the torch E-Box has just finished a whole bunch of work for the summer as well as his bio…. Plus he’s got more stuff on the way! Check it out! My Glassblowing name is E-Box. I am 21 years old and I recently started blowing borosilicate glass 7 months ago starting in March 2011.  I have picked up rather quickly from an inspirational artist named...

I know we all don’t like to talk about it, but sometimes we literally miss our target when it comes to using concentrates, or maybe your newbie friend does. The guys from Silika Glassworks in Van Nuys, California are here to put an end to that as well as giving you something to save up for a rainy day. Silika’s new Concentrate Reclaimer looks like a vapor globe with two joints coming out of it, one is for the globe, the...

“I love the American southwest, for starters. You may call them Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah. I call them heaven…” – Deangelo Vickers  We love the southwest too being located in Nevada, and we think we just may have found Deangelo’s dream vapor rig! A collaborative effort by Jason Lee, and Jason “Live Free” Gordon come a brilliant play on the southwest native american god the Kokopelli. The...

New from Aqualab comes a great collab from Sovereignty & Hitman! This Stemline to Turbine takes the innovations each brand has made and put them into one piece. Long have I been told the Stemline is the optimum percolation system, and while at IGS  the guys from hitman showed me that their Turbine percolation system was just as good. The Turbine actually creates a tiny cyclone of smoke (like a helix would); I was highly impressed...

Looking around on glasspipes.org today and saw these beautiful bubblers by SNIC. Both feature a faucet like swing with a TI pad, black glass and stunning “steampunk inspired” electroform work. I had the pleasure of seeing some of SNIC’s pieces at the International Glass Show in Los Angeles, CA this year and was blown away by his unique style. Enjoy...
