 * Use Pinpoint heat. Shove the pipe all the way into the glory hole, and then move it back out 6 steps. Keep rotating the glass to keep it even while the end heats up.

 ''zaarain'' - I find I can consistently get 5-6k with the occasional lucky 7k by moving inwards instead of out with the following pattern: <sag 2 ticks>a<sag 2 ticks>annn.  Don't do a bulb at all with this, it will expand the entire pipe since the whole thing is at least warm.

 Best I got is about 6700 quality with this, with an average of around 4k-5k.

 *Similar to a beaker - heat evenly, but ideally let the tip (the end nearest the glory hole) be the coolest part and heat the lip (the far end) last.  Rotate constantly, trying to keep the heating even so there are as few sags as possible

 Rotating the piece to keep it as even and level as possible, heat the entire project. You'll need to move it back and forth through the heating plane repeatedly. Keeping the entire project as hot as possible, begin blowing. Go ahead and blow 9-10 times, you need to make the beaker wide. Check the quality at this point and blow as many more times as needed to raise the quality to appropriate levels. Rotate the project while checking the quality to find the "best" position, then unload. I ignore the "lip" as the time and effort required to try and nail it gives minimal payback.

 *Set heat to pinpoint for this one.  Rotating constantly, move the project in once and allow the tip to heat up, then blow once. Move the project in one more time, allow it to heat again and blow twice. Move the project in so that the base can cool down to a deep red and heat up a few sections beyond that. When they're heated to yellow, blow a few times. Never stop spinning the project, and check the project.  Forming just the two chambers as described, mid to high-end 7k quality is acheived in 10-20 seconds

 *Set heat to gradual, constantly rotating, move the piece in eleven steps.  Once the heat radiates out close to the "front" of the piece, blow 12-14 times and check the quality. I average 6-7k at this point and simply unload.

 *Beakers are short, so use whichever heating method you prefer. I get good results (7kish) with front heavy.
