The Empire Glassworks Dragon Sphere Mini Rig starts with a round chamber of amber-gold glass, set with bright red stars, sitting on a flat clear foot. Around it coils a sculpted dragon — a long green body with a blue underbelly, clawed feet spread across the sphere, and a tail that wraps the base. The dragon then climbs the clear straight neck in a loose spiral, and its head, with dark swept-back horns, rests just below the mouthpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the sculpture it is a straightforward mini rig. Water sits in the sphere, a fixed three-hole downstem diffuses each pull, and a reinforced 14mm female joint on the side takes a standard bowl for flower or a banger for concentrates.

Empire Glassworks sell this piece as the Dragon Sphere Mini-Tube, part number 1689, UPC 810077693346. At Angies Boutique it is listed as the Empire Glassworks Dragon Sphere Mini Rig. It is the same design — an amber-gold sphere with red stars, a green-and-blue dragon coiled up the neck, a fixed three-hole downstem and a reinforced 14mm female joint — at about 6.25 inches tall and 320 grams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it for dabs or for flower?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth, depending on what you put in the joint. The Empire Glassworks Dragon Sphere Mini Rig has a reinforced 14mm female joint, which Empire call a banger hanger. It comes with a clear 14mm Empire Glassworks bowl, so it is ready for dry flower out of the box. For concentrates, add a 14mm male quartz banger and a carb cap, sold separately. Empire tag it for both uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompact. Empire list the Empire Glassworks Dragon Sphere Mini Rig at about 6.25 inches tall, 4 inches wide and 320 grams. The width comes from the sphere and the joint arm, so it needs a little shelf space, but it is short enough to sit on a desk. The small sphere means a short airflow path, which keeps concentrate flavor forward. Each one is hand-made, so expect small differences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much water does it take?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery little. Pour water in through the mouthpiece of the Empire Glassworks Dragon Sphere Mini Rig until the three holes on the fixed downstem are just covered. Too much and water splashes up the neck when you pull; too little and the downstem cannot diffuse. Because the sphere is small, change the water every session or two to keep the taste clean and the amber glass clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean it with a fixed downstem?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoak and shake. Pour isopropyl alcohol with coarse salt into the Empire Glassworks Dragon Sphere Mini Rig, cover the mouthpiece and the joint, and shake gently so the salt scrubs the inside of the sphere and the three downstem holes. Let it sit if the resin is heavy, then rinse with warm water. Clean the dragon with a soft brush and never put the piece straight from a hot soak into cold water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill mine look exactly like the photos?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClose, not identical. Empire Glassworks describe each piece as individually hand-crafted, so the dragon's pose, the curl of its tail, the placement of the red stars and the depth of the amber differ slightly from piece to piece. The design, the three-hole downstem and the 14mm joint stay the same. That variation is part of buying lampworked glass — the Empire Glassworks Dragon Sphere Mini Rig you take home is its own piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSummary:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Empire Glassworks Dragon Sphere Mini Rig is Empire part 1689 — a 6.25-inch, 14mm female mini rig for concentrates or flower with a sculpted dragon.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 13.
