donmekka, I've been out of the office for a few days. I haven't seen any emails come across, but I will check the voicemail when I'm back on Monday.

The scientific glass shop that we use, could without question fix it, so there are no doubt artistic glass blowers qualified in your local area.

Does it look like a fatal flaw that will reoccur without design upgrades? Was it cold when you tapped it?

No it wasn't cold and as far as a design flaw or defect I have no idea I am not qualified to make that call .I'll work on getting pics later.

I had one of my Mules fail at the exact same place on the tube, at the bend below the fritted disc, but mine was under pressure! The break happened when I was unscrewing the valve to release the liquid butane for evap., and you can bet I was being gentle because this is already a replacement valve on the tube. . . thank the gods of planning for safe practice and a good environment..... Sheesh. What a mess, what a waste.

Be careful. These things are UBER fragile... I still like the idea, but this is an unacceptable failure imo

Hey ftwendy, your security settings won't allow me to send a private message. We're moving into stainless steel in a similar setup and away from the glass. I've got a number of the glass units pressure tested and coated, I'd like to replace the broken one for you. Hit me up and let me know if you would like one.
