according to the poll I am likemost and use COE 104. I hope that the person who gets this glass enjoys it and I hope that you get the correct glass that you need too.

I've tried out a couple of other COEs...I found that, in the heat of creative excitement, I tended to get a couple mixed up (crack!) and the frustration of space restraints and keeping them separate was annoying - I've switched over to 104 only, and am a happy clam! There are a few colors I really WISH were available in 104 that are available in other COE's, but I make due!

We keep around 33, 96 and 104. Shani works 104 and 96. I default to boro lately but I like to try and keep up an equal relationship almost like the different coe's are my kids. I want them to know that I love them all the same. Naturally they each have their strong points.
Spending lots of time on intricate 104 mandrel beads really helped to inspire designs in boro and vice versa.

hey you must have been with me when I bought the 96 clear fusing glass last year!!
Haven't figured out what the heck I am going to do with it..
Wanna trade some of your twisties for some bullseye?? Maybe I can decorate some of this with twisties and make candle thingies out of it??
I adore bullseye and have a laudry soap bucket of it's "normal" color's, odd lots and I have a box hidden of "odd lots" that someday I might be able to play with. LOL
I have a bucket of 104 that I got to play with on my HH and it's fun, but the colors that BE puts out just make me drool drool and dribble even

Since I'm primarily a fuser and secondly play with lampwork, my studio includes 104, 96 AND 90. Fun, huh? Love Vetro Odds, love CIM (especially Elphaba odd #2!)
Got tons of sheet glass in 90 and 96 and tons of rods & frit & all other kind of stuff!
love it all

I use 104coe but also love 96coe because then I can use Frit with abandon! (I'm a frit ho!) So I do have both & do wonder sometime if I could switch to all 96, but 104 keeps coming out with such cool stuff! So for now, it looks like it will be both for me.

90/96 are my main glass only because I'm also mainly a fuser, I have very little 104 glass maybe 20LBS, but I have 900 to 1000 lbs of other glass including non fusible glass.

All 104 for me also! I'm on a hot head. It is very sweet of you to share your glass with others.

Old thread or not, it's fun to read what people are using. I use 104 because I am addicted to Silver Glass and use it in almost every bead, 96 because I love the Raku colors and the frit, and Bullseye because the pinks are to die for and it is so nice for sculpting. I was really happy to learn that 96 frit also works with Bullseye. I've also started buying some boro but I want to take a class before I start melting it.

It's even more fun to realize things like I've added 95 coe (shampoo glass) to my cabinet, right next to the Kinari-128, I still haven't managed to add any Satake (what is wrong with me??) & there's (omg...I'm admitting it) four lonely rods of boro (*gasp*) sitting under my shelf--(they're my brother's I SWEAR!!) 'cause now I have a CRICKET!!!...but...I'm finding myself tempted to melt the boro....if he doesn't hurry up & USE the damn things, I *might* try turning them into a bead! (they're supposed to be so he can try making himself a keychain  )

learned on 104 and thought it was too soupy.
found a box of 96 shorts in the back of the class and switched right there.
So mostly 96 but got a hella deal on some 104 from a garage sale, so now I have both!

I voted 104 as it is the one I use the most, but I have 96 and 33. I use to have some bullseye but I sold it. I kind of miss it. I am like some of the others that have posted. I was a fuser first so I have both 90 and 96 fusible glass still. I kind of envy those whom only have one coe. I had a guy at the glass craft expo say "Oh you are one of those" when I bought some boro and he asked me what COE I use.
I thought about his response and thought, yeah I am one of those that likes to try everything to see what works for me. I am always curious, what is wrong with that? Always seeking, always learning!
