Marcus Reyne
Marcus Reyne began his career as a bench technician in a materials lab, where he spent nine years cleaning, annealing and repairing borosilicate apparatus. That work made him unusually particular about two things: which solvents actually dissolve residue, and how quickly a temperature change can turn a sound piece of glass into a cracked one.
Since 2019 he has written full-time about consumer glassware and dry-herb vaporizer hardware. His interest is narrow and practical — how a joint wears, why a heating chamber loses efficiency, what a screen actually filters, and which maintenance habits add years to a piece. He has no commercial relationship with any manufacturer or retailer.
Marcus tests every method described on this site on hardware he buys himself, and documents the failures as carefully as the successes.
