Just bought one from a glassblower out in WA. Don't have it yet, but just wanted to see if any blades have used one and what you think about them. I used to prefer a skillet, but lately I have only been using a drop down dome and really like it. The kettle seems like the best of both worlds, what do you think? Here is a pic of the one I bought. http://i1086.photobucket.com/albums/j456/Finnglass/IMG_1106.jpg
I saw the nuggetry crew using one in a few videos, it looks pretty badass. You should definitely write a review once you get it
Looks bad ass I actually almost got one myself yesterday but I'm gonna get another skillet instead. It kinda looks like some of the smoke can come out of the top, probably not though
I will def update you guys on how it works and if I prefer it to my other setups. I have an HMK curve and my karma scene tube came with a drop dome which I really like and a curve that I am going to try and wrap myself this weekend (wish me luck) I didn't really need this kettle curve, but I got a great deal on it so I decided to snap it and give it a try. It's not a Dosa, I wish. Those are hard to come by and PRICEY. It's by a Washington state artist named Finn. Seems like a cool dude and is really turning out some sweet rigs. I'll post a pic of his lately rig that he has for sale on BM when I get on my computer. It's awesome!

I love kettle curves. I don't understand why no one uses them. I was never really a fan of nails with a dome, and this just makes the skillet so much more convenient. In my use, I haven't met someone who's used the kettle and wanted to go back to something else, but that might just be my group of friends...Who knows.
**UPDATE** The kettle curve is a great little curve. Definitely my main way of smoking oil. As you can see its been getting quite a bit of use. Everyone that uses is really enjoys how easy it is to use. The only complaint that I have is that it really swirls the smoke when hitting it, which looks REALLY cool, but it claims up FAST! I think it's because the extra contact with the glass bc of the swirling. O well, not really that big of a deal. With the right pull, no vapor is ever lost. I have had smoke come out the bottom and be re-inhaled through the top. Really cool effect. I purchase this one from Finn, out of WA. Unfortunately he is in Ecuador now. The mothership came up with the idea and dosa and sleeping make some cool ones. Also a blower named sevenout is producing them as well. But these are HIGHLY recommended on my part.

That kettle is probly sweeeet on that philpot. You should look up the honeypot I think its called. It's like a little dish that flips into the dome. It's pretty crazy.
