Can't be too surprised seeing such innovation from a glass team that gave us the turbine, ratchet, brilliance, & hammerhead perc and of course the glass torch that led to the revolutionary torchtube which effortlessly took high end works of art from a few thousand bucks to 5 figure works of art that belong in galleries. Started only in 2009, Hitman has come a long way in a few years and has taken the glass world by storm.
For those not familiar with the recycler, it's a fairly new design in glass that has the hit filtered through the perc multiple times, cutting out drag and splash back in the process. Originally designed by HAMM, the recycler idea took off quick with a small flood of direct inject bubblers hitting the market usually with a raised stem line perc to keep the distance minimum between the nail to your mouth. Everyone has their own variation on the recycler but only a few have really stuck out and made a name for the new found innovation.
Within the last week, hitman glass gave us a little preview of their upcoming recycler via Facebook. First thing you'll notice is that these look nothing like any current recyclers anyones seen on the market, and thats why I mess with these guys, every design is original and innovative. They're scientific glass first and they always bring the functionality proper, these pieces look like they rip. With that said it looks like Hitman is slowly moving towards headier collars. They've had inspiring, amazing & vibrant torchtube collabs within the last year but it's good to see their recycler, and hopefully their full line will be on the headier side.

The recycler along with the Phase 2 line comes out this winter 2012 and will be in select glass shops. I've had a chance to preview a custom piece from the new line and must say it hits like a champ, has me looking forward to the rest of Phase 2.
