Default Need to get some 104 clear

What's the best reasonably priced 104 clear these days? I haven't done any lampwork this winter and I am almost out of clear. Oh, and I am on a HH.

Zephyr seconds from Double Helix - you can't tell they are seconds!

I love the Uroboros 104 clear. Reasonable price and crystal clear. They have rods and noodles now. I also love the Zephyr, but it is pricey, and if you want a glass the works with silver glass, the aether is lovely. It tends to yellow a bit, but sometimes the reactions are worth it.

If you're patient, Frantz usually puts the 006 clear on sale (50% off) about once every 4 to 6 weeks. Just save up for it!

lauscha soft for a HH is choice #1, followed closely by Zephyr 2nd's. these are expensive clears...but when on a hothead reduction scuzz will always be an issue...and with these two glasses, they dont' scum as easy.
