Yea, it does blow, I think I'll try that rubbing alcohol salt method soon though, I guess I should be thankful that it isn't broke, my only complaint that REALLY bothers me is the size of the bowl, I can pack MAYBE .3 or .4 in it, not to mention if I pack that much in it, it usually means I'm compressing it and plugging up the hole, next time I buy a piece, I'm going with a friend of mine whos a pro.
