Anybody have any ideas for a tar trap? I was looking at my mini-mag chillum and it appears my 2 inegral tar traps are working quite well. The first one, I used the bulb holder/switch thingy in the head and just poked a couple holes through it with a red hot hair pin. Also, I kept the bulb reflector in place, so that if I unscrew the head assembly a little bit it creates a small second chamber with an inverted dome on the downstream side, with a small (maybe 1/16" inch or so through which all the smoke must flow. Seems to be a fairly decent ammount of tar collected in this chamber too, especially considering how few times I've used it...

These tar traps reduce the potency of the herb, no doubt, since THC is sticky and so is tar... But they also reduce the hardness of the hit (and in an all metal pipe that can get pretty harsh) as well as functioning to create various chambers in the chillum which i think helps cool the smoke.
