I was speaking in the context of this thread.....
so try and stay with me.


Borosilicate glass is "stronger" and much more resistant to thermal shock than the cheap soda-lime glass used to make beer mugs.

In other words "Borosilicate" Glass bongs will handle the thermal shock of going from room temp to freezing cold, much better than the soft glass beer mugs mentioned in this thread.


thickness has NOTHING to do with "strength" in this context.

that's why bongs and labware are made from Boro.. and yer beer mugs and dinnerware are made from cheap soft glass.

Here is an amber GOG beaker with the amber logo.

i'm in love with these tubes, but you could have done so much more with the logo. like you could have taken a sample of the handwriting in, say, the declaration of independence and made a really sick font for your logo. you get the idea...
