You can do pretty much anythingwith any type of glass, they just have different carachteristics to workongs and strength. Boro/coe 33 is acid resesitant and very strong, its commonly used in pipes and scientific glass like beakers and test tubes. Boro takes a lot more heat but doesnt shock and break as easily while working.
What coe you want to use really comes down to what you wanna make, you can make beads with boro but its not as easy of soft glass. Cant make good or safe pipes out of soft glass. Ornaments and pendants, small scuplture, etc. can be done in all COE's
