TIPS AND TRICKS FOR A BETTER PIPE

05:05:55 pm, Categories: General [A]  

Can't get a pipe cleaner to go in the pipe without it getting "hung-up"?
If your pipe is a Savinelli "convertible" pipe (it can be smoked with the 6mm balsa system filter--or sans filter--with the 6mm plastic filter adaptor--here's the solution: Using the adaptor--take a small sharp blade from a pocketknife, and gently chamfer cut a bevel in the inside diameter of the hole going thru the middle of it--on both ends--you will get a better airflow--and the pipe cleaner will slide right thru with ease.

Does your pipe have a loose tenon peg on the mouthpiece? Solution:
Remove mouthpiece from pipe and give it a good clean, inside and outside--including the tenon. Dry it--then brush on a little clear nail polish on the outside of the tenon. Let completely dry before re-assembling the pipe. The varnish will snug up the fit of the mouthpiece (sometimes all it's only 1/10000th of and inch!)

It Works for me..Best Wishes, Eric
