I agree with the others - CiM is not shockier than glass from other manufacturers. Most of the time for me with CiM, when I come across a really shocky rod, it has one or two friends in my stash but the rest of it is fine.

I did have one experience, though, where the entire pound of Khaki that I had bought was a self-fritting disaster, and when I told Kathy at CiM about it, she replaced it for me. She cares deeply about the quality of her product and our experience using it, so if your problem is really dire and seems to be throughout the rods that you bought, maybe let her know.
