Gladstone Glass
Alright, let’s dive into Gladstone Glass—straight outta St. Louis with that small‑batch artisan energy. This solo‑artist gig transforms raw borosilicate into functional art that’s as smooth to rip as it is to look at.
Expect compact dab rigs in the 6–10″ range, usually 14 mm joints, sometimes rocking a 10 mm for a more chilled pull. They feature classic silhouettes—wig‑wag tubes, mini beaker styles—with thick walls, splash guards, and often come paired with a padded case. Designs flex between clear, bold wig‑wag color combos (like fire red/yellow/black) and subtle nebula opal accents—each piece unique and proudly signed by the artist.
Price tags? Minis hover around $400–$450, with color‑pop versions often bundling extras like matching slides and cases. It’s that sweet-spot where clean looks, sturdy build, and decent function meet affordable art‑glass vibes.
Bottom line: Want a legit, small‑studio rig that brings both style and session power without dropping major bank? Gladstone Glass is the move. Every rip’s as smooth as the attention to detail behind it. 💨
