Umm get a different piece ;)
What do you mean by piece? Pipe?
Yes, piece means pipe. The pipe you have looks really thin and small. I would invest a few more dollars and get yourself a real pipe. Something with a real bowl and carb. That thing looks like it would get way too hot and way to easy to suck the herb through. And it does not feel good to have hot, burning ash fly into your throat! :thumbsup:Quote:

Whenever I buy a pipe and thats pretty often because I collect them,I always look for certain aspects I want it to have,i'll use a spoon pipe as my basis.
1. I like to find out info about who made it,specifically if it was made local or not
2. How does it feel in the hand,if its not givin me the feelin' of wow this is nice put it down ;)
3. give it an inspection especially in the bowl area,make sure the glass isnt full of bubbles(they can potentionally cause weakness in the glass)Also make sure the hole in the bottom of the bowl isnt too big.
4. look at the diameter of the holes at the mouthpiece and carb if they are too small dont waste your time,if they are decent sized it will hit better.
5. does it look cool (of course thats important,but not if its a dysfunctional piece).
6. everyones idea of a great piece will be different,but everyone should care about quality,guess its the engineer in me.
All this time you have had to deal with this piece has kept you from what you really wanna do and thats toke up,take the bad egg out of the equation and get something different.
Well I'm thinking about going into town again and buying one of these pipes:

The bad thing is that It's gonna cost me about £4 to get there...
And thanks Ub3rB0ng; your advice has helped me incredibly. I'll look out for those when I go and buy a new pipe =]
Your welcome dude,I do try :jointsmile: I use metal pipes too but I only own one,I just use it when smoking outside.
Reckon I'll get a refund? XD
Well how clean is it? soak it up in some rubbing alcohol so it looks like you didnt use it ;) probably also depends on the shop you bought it from what their policies are. The shop I generally go to will replace any piece I have an issue with but ive been going there since they opened.
That was my conclusion when I saw the photo. Bad design there.Quote:

I don't see what the big problem is it is a interesting piece, but looks flawed. that doesn't mean you have to toss it its still a piece as in a piece of art. I would use a bigger screen or trim the screen or even crumble a screen as a plug screen. might not be the best but I see nothing wrong with it. the design is flawed in my opinion in it has no evaporation chamber to cool smoke rapidly which means all the way through the pipe will get warm and the smoke will be warm, but there are ways around that, put a small ice chunk in your mouth and I bet it will be a pleasant smoke. I think it looks cool, just funky
