I need a thought from you guys. After seeing how Ryan from GWS is such a piece of shit, and seeing people's reviews about how they got their custom-made plugs from him, I don't really want to order from GWS anymore. However the size I'm looking to is 28mm and Gorilla Glass doesn't make 28mm plugs, so the only choice I got is glass plugs by Modifika. But I'm not so sure about them, I've heard that their glass plugs have like 22mm overall length and 10mm wearable length, which probably means they make super thick flares and super rounded ends. So they're not the best. FWIW they make the deluxe dichroic, power plugs, and obsidian plugs in 28mm as well as their soda lime colors. You might have to custom order, though.

Thanks, I'm currently looking for colorfront or solid color glass plugs but I will sure want some glass eyelets in the near future. I need a thought from you guys.

I actually need a simple black colorfront or solid color plugs, and I will probably have to custom order anyway because I need about 11mm wearable length. While I was planning to custom order from GWS through BAF (I have a 25$ store credit), I've heard from some people that GWS fucked their requests. So... I guess Modifika?

That's perfect, thanks! Do you know from where I can custom order it? As I remember they won't do orders from their official website. Edit: I just saw BAF carries them in pre-ordering but only in double flare, so I'm going to ask Melissa if she can pre-order it in single flare.

GWS blows and Modifika has quality control issues. Seconding, I'm really disappointed with GWS being a bit wonky. I always had the impression they were one of the best. And the stuff I've ordered from Modifika in the past has had off gauge measurements on pretty much all of it.

The next size I'll need is 20mm and they don't have any of those listed on BAF anyway... but someone mentioned that they do custom sizes to order?

Yeah, it's not on the list but maybe you can contact Melissa and see if she can order 20mm from GG. I ordered some really fine GWS glass plugs for stretching 2 months ago, by an amazing online body jewelry shop in England. He carries ALL the sizes untill 1" (including 21mm, 23mm, etc.) and he only carries the good quality of what GWS possibly did. I don't know if it's ok to recommend other shop than BAF here since I guess all of us are from their boards, though. And I got an answer from Melissa. She said the largest size she can order in single flare from GG is 1". Meh.

If BAF can't or won't help, I'd find someone local with an account to order through. If I'm wrong and they legit can't do it, I'd go with someone like Nirvana glass, One Off Glass, or another small maker rather than GWS.

GG has really amazing customer service. You can email them directly with questions and they can help you find someone to order it through. There are also a few jewelry groups on Facebook that can help you with ordering from them.

I just checked out there items and they are beautiful!
