Welcome Genuis Pipe folken! Thank you so very much for hooking us testers up with this fab' kit! ........*(Karma kode: Waira-AFN)
>>> The kit showed up promptly in fine condition, and totally "stealth"....
.... All's well inside,...
>>> First impressions of the pipe are very nice! The machining is very high quality, fit and finish too ,... To test the sealing, I tried to draw air through while all snugged up,... nearly nothing, just a tiny amount from under the slide cover, main body is clamped tight! Impressive,...
It feels absolutely billet stout in the hand, heft is considerable even as Aluminum...
Magnets are powerful, but not obnoxiously so; it comes apart fairly easy but certainly won't just flop open...
The slide plate action is easy and secure....
Inside is where the trick stuff is! Knobbed for your smoking pleasure-
>>> So, time for a couple bowls of testing! ... my choice for this will be Think Fast (semi-auto, Dutch Passion)
.... packing a bowl, one notices it's a shallow one,.. might be some room to tuck it in deeper, which I'll try later,... other testers noted, this isn't the best for group sharing, but pipes aren't really anyway IMO,... for me and another friend, it's fine... You have to keep it flush if you want to use the slide cover, or the stuff above the bowl can get dragged around,... For this test, I didn't bother, I wanted full unobstructed draw,.... pardon the missing post-hit pics, I botched those , so I'll get more later!
First impressions there are also very good,... It draws so easily, you have to be careful! Now, to see where I'm coming from, let me say I'm not a regular pipe user anymore, it's seldom called for with me,... Any pipe, no matter how well engineered, is going to hit more harshly than a bong or well rolled joint (at least the first half )... it's "direct injection" no matter how you slice it! That said, this is one of the best hitting pipes I've ever tried, though you really have to be gentle on the uptake because of the effortless draw, flow dynamics are like grease on glass ....Uncontestably cool smoke! With this pipe, I see myself enjoying smoking this way more often, way way better than my old beater wood pipe,...
I packed a second bowl the next day with hash topping, and got just baked to a golden brown-- ... pipe smoking hits hard!
I'll post toking pics later, redo's.... ditto for cleaning. I saw how they do it in the vid's, but I can find better ways frankly,.... ease and fast are the keys regardless! I'll try a few things and post them when it's time,... Cheers!
