Old Reviews SoloPipe...Not so good!

[durpoi]

So i bought one of these today guys, and i must say...Not what i was expecting! And my reasons why are as follow;

(1) Mouthpiece gets EXTREMELY hot after burning for only a few seconds.
(2) Allot of side-burn on the bowl with the built in lighter (You can adjust the flame, but as you all know, more gas makes its taste real unhealthy!)
(3) Impossible to keep it clean! After using it only twice, i found myself having to clean it each time i wanted to use it again! Its stinks more than your average pipe, you guys know that smell! now imagine having that in your pockets :no:
(4) VERY HARSH!

Now this is just my experience with it, others may not agree! But majority of people will! Just want to help out

Yeah, I've tried one before and didn't care for it. It had your typical metal bowl taste, basically like you're licking a handful of change. Improvements could be made by having a complete glass bowl and center tube, and by having a small torch lighter in place of the standard flame (so it could be easily be smoked outside in a breeze). Either of these changes would overcome the flaws for me and make me buy one, but with both together it could be a solid piece.

Had a solo pipe think broke real fast very hard to clean. Picked this up..7pipe Pro. 100% better then solo pipe. Has a nice glass bowl you can take out and clean. Very smooth smoking device.

whoa! they look great! quite pricey though. im a bit confused how you fit a glass/bamboo bowl on it

Its hard to tell if this could be a success! Could also end up being one of them over-priced smoking gadgets, just like the solo pipe! but if in the right hands... if anyone is looking to purchase a "portable" pipe I would highly recommend one of these mini water pipes (similar to a bubbler) You can find these in lots of different shapes and sizes, but what I love about them the most is that they are not as harsh as a normal pipe, quite portable & VERY affordable! I bought one in my local head-shop about a year ago for £4, and is still the only thing I smoke out of

this isn't the exact one I have, but size wise its the same! Ill get a picture up in the next few days, although is been thoroughly used so its not the prettiest

Like I said, Not the prettiest but beside that is a very nice smoking pipe & it has a nice little wooden bowl with a downstem.
