Beautiful tip Tym...........but what is Dichro? Is it still glass, or is that the coating color etc; Dichro?

I want this one, invoice me
Very cool tips!
All this time I never knew how different and better it is vaping through a glass drip tip....It's noticeably better! I don't think I really believed anyone who told me this but it is so true and I just love these glass tips and so beautiful too from Tymbandits Art Glass Drip tips!
Here are two new ones I just bought and tym just sent me....The blue one with vivi tank on a itaste svd and the purple tip with a mini vivi on a purple ego...Now I have 3 and the other white one I showed here! Thanks tym and hope you're feeling better and over the flu!

I believe dicro is the sparkly material that is inside the glass. It adds a 3D look and is very cool. Usually a bit more expensive, but very cool.
Tymbandit, your tips are gorgeous! I LOVE the Dichro ones! Will definitely be making an order once you feel well enough to make more.
If you haven't vaped through a glass tip - you're missing out! I used to get blisters from the SS ones.
Glass feels good on your lips, and doesn't interfere with the taste.
Only downside - I'm clumsy, and have broken so many when dropping my PVs than I care to think about.

Hello Heartisan, Breaking a glass tip is one of the complaints or fears of many users. However if you have a tip that you really love it can usually be repaired by a glass blower familiar with making them for less than the cost of a new one. I have repaired some of my competitors tips with great success.One must only remember that they are glass and could be broken accidentally or thru misuse. I also treat them as a functional work of art as most of them are and try to handle with care.

Here is a short explanation of what Dichroic Glass is for those that care to know.
Dichro Explained
Dichroic glass is not reflective because of special glass or textures. Instead, it is a special coating treatment that is done to the glass. This beautiful glass represents an adaptation of aerospace technology to the world of art. NASA originally developed dichroic glass for use in satellite mirrors in the early 1990s, and also uses it for re-entry tiles on space shuttles.
Making dichroic glass requires a complex processing technique and is only made by a handful of manufacturers that have high-tech equipment like high temperature vacuum chambers, vaporizing electro-guns, and high temperature kilns.
The intense, computerized process involves vaporizing metallic oxides, such as magnesium or titanium, with an electro-gun. Once it is vaporized into floating dust, it settles on and coats the surface of hot glass inside an airless vacuum chamber. The complete process may require from 15 to 45 different layers totaling in a width that is smaller than a human hair. The type, order applied and number of metallic oxide layers used will determine the final look of the glass. Once the coating process is completed, the whole coated piece is fired in a kiln at high temperatures to fuse the oxides to the glass.
Dichroic glass does not use paints, dyes, or any other kind of coloring agent to create its color, but sometimes pieces of colored glass are coated. The coating itself doesn't have its own inherent color, but rather it bends light to reflect colors exactly as a prism makes rainbows. With so many combinations of oxides, glass colors and patterns available to make dichroic glass, the possibilities are endless for incredibly rich and varied colors and patterns. These amazing dichroic design elements add flash and pizzazz, sparkle and intrigue to jewelry, creating a sense of luxury and artistic class.
