So I had a long discussion with Tony from Good Stash at my local shop yesterday and I decided to get fmb's opinion on this matter. Rather than recant my conversation I'll just link you to his ranting youtube video's where he lays down all the claims..


In this one he claims that these little plastic balls he makes diffuse better than any cut glass diffuser or percolator system and says he's got $20,000 up on whoever can disprove it.

Part 1 of his rant on the evils of ground glass on glass joints

Part 2


honestly I think they're just too cheap to buy the damned joints. They made a couple comments infront of me about how expensive they were and he also claimed to have a certificate in scientific glass blowing.. which uses ground glass seals. I dunno though.. that glass dust thing is thought provoking.
