The EG Slyme Leaf Beaker (EG-05) is a 14-inch, 7 mm thick borosilicate beaker designed as a durable, premium option for everyday use. At around 990 g, it has a noticeably heavy, stable feel on the counter and in the hand.
The tube features EG’s “Slyme Leaf” pattern in sandblast relief – the background is frosted while the leaf motifs stand out in clearer, raised glass. This gives real texture and depth to the design and looks significantly higher-end than printed graphics. Each piece is supplied with an 18 mm downstem and 14 mm bowl, ready to sell as a complete beaker set.
Benefits for Your Smoke Shop
- Straightforward premium positioning
Easy for staff to explain as:
“14″, 7 mm Slyme Leaf Beaker with sandblast relief tube, 18/14 mm setup, multiple colors.” - High perceived value without complexity
Familiar beaker function combined with thicker glass and relief artwork; no need to educate customers on recycler plumbing or complex percs. - Strong merchandising options
Fits naturally into an “EG 7 mm Sandblast Collection” together with Symbols, Triangle, Cross, etc., or can stand alone as a feature beaker in each color. - Better long-term reliability
7 mm glass and a thick base handle normal knocks and frequent handling better than thin-wall glass, reducing breakage complaints. - Suitable for independents and chains
Simple spec, recognisable leaf theme and controlled color palette make it easy to roll out across multiple stores.
Usage & Care Recommendations
Usage
- Fill the beaker until the downstem slits are just submerged; excess water increases drag and can send water up the neck.
- Place the piece on a flat, stable surface, away from shelf or counter edges; it is stable and heavy, but a fall from height can still break glass.
- Use only correct 18 mm downstems and 14 mm bowls; forcing mismatched joints can chip or crack the ground-glass seats.
- Recommend steady, controlled pulls so the beaker volume and water can handle the cooling, instead of users “chugging” the piece.
Care & Maintenance
- Allow the glass to cool naturally before cleaning; avoid sudden hot–cold changes that can stress the material.
- For routine cleaning, empty old water and rinse with warm water after sessions.
- For deep cleaning, soak with isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt (or a glass-safe cleaner), shake gently, then rinse thoroughly.
- On the sandblast relief Slyme Leaf area, avoid aggressive scrubbing with abrasive pads; rely on soaking and a soft cloth so the frosted background and raised leaves stay sharp and clean.
- Let the beaker dry completely before returning it to display or packing into cartons to prevent odour, water marks and mineral spots.
