There are some reses that aren't...I think the swifty microres is one that has minimal flame polishing. Anything curved is flame polished anywhere there's a curve. Also, a lot of manufacturers do acrylic joints with flame, so that'll do it too.

More than anything I posted it as an it of interest...because it interests me.
