      Who is Boro Syndicate?

      Boro Syndicate started as a Salt Lake City glass shop and grew into a gallery, retail store and in-house glass brand. Co-founder Kenny Holladay, mostly self-taught as a glassblower, has described the group as like-minded artists who all want to make art out of borosilicate, which is why the name swaps "silicate" for "syndicate." The gallery shows work from well-known glassblowers, and Boro Syndicate's own studio makes the accessories sold under its name.

      Those accessories are built around the parts that connect and finish a setup: drop-downs that change a joint's size, gender or height; vapor domes for nail and dome dabbing, often worked with wig wag, reversal and dichro patterns; and complete dome-and-adapter sets.


      Which Boro Syndicate pieces does Angies Boutique carry?

      Dome-and-adapter sets

      Sets bundle a dome with the adapter you need to use it on your rig. The 18mm Dome & Adapter Set in Opal includes an 18mm dome, an 18mm male-to-male adapter and an 18mm quartz nail, and the Rainbow Wig Wag set adapts an 18mm dome to a 14mm female rig.

      Vapor curves

      A vapor curve is a curved glass arm that holds a titanium dab plate, an alternative to a banger for dabbing. The Vapor Curve 18mm Male 45° has a wire-wrapped arm and a Boro Syndicate titanium plate, and the 18mm Female Dichro Vapor Curve is fully worked in dichroic glass.

      Beyond what is on our shelf

      Boro Syndicate also makes worked and colored Low Riders, 14mm female drop-downs and Puffco Proxy adapters in 45° and 90°. Sold-out pieces stay listed in the grid below so you can see the range.

      If you want Get

      How do I choose the right size?

      Every Boro Syndicate adapter and dome is named by its two ends, like 18mm male to 14mm female. The end that meets your rig must be the opposite gender of the rig's joint, and the other end must match the banger, nail or dome you want to use. If you are not sure of your joint, call the shop at (213) 680-0080 or send a photo. To clean, soak in 91% or higher isopropyl alcohol and rinse with warm water, never boiling; use a gentle cleaner on dichro and worked glass. Supplies are in Cleaning Supplies.


      What else should I look at?

      See every adapter in Glass Joint Adapters and every dome in Vapor Domes. Pair a drop-down with a banger from Quartz Bangers & Nails and a rig from Dab Rigs, and finish with Carb Caps.


      What should I know before buying Boro Syndicate?

      Match both ends: drop-downs and domes must match your rig and your banger in size and gender. Drop-downs add height and weight: keep small rigs on a stable surface. Torch the nail, not the glass: heat only the quartz or titanium, never the glass adapter or dome. Worked pieces vary slightly from the photo. Most Boro Syndicate here is one or two deep. Sold to adults 21+.

      Frequently Asked Questions about Boro Syndicate

      Boro Syndicate, also written Borosyndicate, is a Salt Lake City, Utah glass gallery and studio founded by Kenny Holladay and Evan Ballance. It runs a separate glassblowing facility where its in-house glass is made, including Low Rider drop-downs, vapor domes, dome-and-adapter sets and vapor curves.
      Boro Syndicate is based in Salt Lake City, Utah, and its glass is made in Utah, USA.
      The name is a play on borosilicate, the heat-resistant glass used for pipes and rigs. Co-founder Kenny Holladay has said the group swapped silicate for syndicate because they are a like-minded group of artists who all want to make art out of borosilicate glass.
      A Low Rider is Boro Syndicate's low-profile drop-down adapter. It lowers the banger below the rig's joint and can change joint size or gender at the same time, such as an 18mm male to 14mm female Low Rider that lets a 14mm male banger run on an 18mm female rig.
      Match both ends. The end that goes into your rig must be the opposite gender of the rig's joint and the same size, and the other end must fit your banger or nail. For example, an 18mm female rig with a 14mm male banger needs an 18mm male to 14mm female Low Rider. Call Angies Boutique at (213) 680-0080 or send a photo if you are unsure.
      A vapor curve is a curved glass arm that holds a titanium dab plate, an alternative to a quartz banger for dabbing. Boro Syndicate's Vapor Curve 18mm Male 45 degree has a wire-wrapped arm and a Boro Syndicate titanium plate, and its 18mm Female Dichro Vapor Curve is fully worked in dichroic glass.
      The 18mm Dome and Adapter Set in Opal includes an 18mm dome, an 18mm male to male adapter and an 18mm quartz nail. The Rainbow Wig Wag set pairs an 18mm dome with a 14mm male to 18mm male adapter so it fits a 14mm female rig.
      Soak drop-downs and domes in 91 percent or higher isopropyl alcohol, then rinse with warm water, never boiling. Use a gentle cleaner on dichro and worked glass, and never torch the glass adapter or dome; heat only the quartz or titanium.
