So lets start hard with one of my newest pick ups, this beautiful micro rig with a drop top vapor swing for perfect little dunks. Inside is a 4 hole perc that helps savor every dab, definitely brings out the taste of the errl with every hit. I'll have more pics of it cleaned up and more attention to the detail but I love using this as my current daily driver.503 Liberty Glass is a Portland based glass blowing team who have been active for about 13 years now. They are a small crew but have made a huge name for themselves in the glass community and def left an impression on the art community with their one of a kind pieces. They have a shop where they blow most of their glass and have it available for purchase along with other high end glass by other artists. Haven't been there myself but from what I've seen I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area. They focus heavily on detail such as his signature multi-tone color layers and carved like sandblasted finishes; and offer a style only a handful of other glass artists can compete with. Pretty much this dudes pieces look like ceramic and metal lol, it's unreal how intricate some of his works are.
Let's get down to the piece at hand, when you first pick up this 3 legged boro beauty, you notice how sturdy it is, nice solid weight that fits comfortably into your palm. A John Dillinger style design with a 14mm female joint on top that fits the matching vapor swing with a ti pad at the end. Usually i'm not a big fan of skillets or swings but the drop top design is just too clean. Plus you can easily convert to a nail with a double male joint for those nail heads. The whole piece is covered with a gritty but clean brick inlay design that lines up across the piece that's reminiscent of some of Pakoh's works. The bricks are indented and sand blasted; each one has perfect corners with unbelievable hand worked detail. With that said, this is actually one of Liberty's simpler pieces in comparison to his others, the colors, textures, and crystal cut clarity he uses on other pieces is insane, i'll post some of his other work soon to give you an idea. But you really need to see his work in person to get the full effect, pictures just don't do it justice.
Most importantly though, this piece is a champ when it comes to dabbing. Very easy on the lungs with no drag, the open end really helps. Bubbles stack up really nice inside with no splash back thanks to the curved neck. Best part is the taste of your errl comes our amazing on this piece. Very smooth intake, i usually don't choke up on this one, and a very smooth exhale that leaves a great taste on your tongue as long as your dabbing on that clean errl like Crown. Very easy to clean but doesn't get too dirty in the first place. It's gonna be real hard giving this one up but loving it as my daily driver in the mean time.
