FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New York, NY – March 26, 2025 – Copetti News, a trusted digital publication delivering innovative journalism, has published an in-depth article titled “The Engineering Behind the Glass: How Thick Ass Glass Revolutionized the Industry”. The feature article explores how engineering excellence and scientific principles have transformed the smoking accessories industry through the lens of Thick Ass Glass (TAG) and its founder Brian Handschuh.
In the article, Editor-in-Chief Zachary Pintaro sits down with Handschuh to discuss the technical aspects behind premium glass manufacturing, from the science of percolation to the importance of material selection and design principles. The piece highlights how TAG has prioritized durability, functionality, and performance over marketing hype by employing CAD designs, rigorous testing protocols, and strategic reinforcement of stress points.
“We use CAD designs to calculate airflow, test different percolation systems, and find the balance between diffusion and drag,” explains Handschuh in the interview. “It’s not just about making glass thicker—though that’s certainly part of it—it’s about understanding the physics of how smoke moves through water and designing around those principles.”
The article also details TAG’s manufacturing process, which involves using premium borosilicate glass with bases significantly thicker than industry standards (12-16mm versus competitors’ 3-6mm), custom super-thick joints, and reinforced stress points. It further examines the differences in designing glass for various consumption methods and how the company’s Made To Order service provides customization typically only available from individual glass artists.
