Got some pipe bits and tried them out. Can't stand them. Feels like I'm sucking out of a baby bottle or something. Maybe if they weren't so thick. Can't grip the pipe properly either

...tried those years ago, didn't suit me, but others seem to find them useful... |

I tried and gave up on those pipe-condoms; made me an excessive drooler.
Had to wring my beard out after each smoke.

I ordered some the other day off ebay cos my latest estate pipe had a hole in the stem, which I've fixed up with superglue and baking soda. I thought the rubber bit might help too... I think I'll come to the same conclusion though.

I don't use those things. But, have seen in other forums where shrink wrap is used to protect the bit.

I started off with them and that lasted maybe a day or so. Not only do they feel odd, but it is disgusting how much saliva gets in under them.

If you do use them, remember to remove them on every stem clean or they will fog your stem permanently over time.

I have a pipe buddy who loves those things. He uses them so he can clench his 100 gram plus Ardor Giants. The guy has a jaw like a neanderthal and no pipe is too heavy for him. I of course bust his balls unmercifully.
I would rather chew through a stem than use a condom for my pipes.

I don’t mind them but would like if they were thinner. They have shrink tubing at Home Depot that is no thicker than a piece of tape. You cut to fit and then take a lighter to it to shrink it to size. Never did it but there are YouTube videos out there showing how to do it

My order of 20 bits for a pound came yesterday from Hong Kong. Not sure I like them either...Sucking from a baby's bottle is about right, gav. Although, since they're squidgy, I do have the inclination to bite down, and being rubber, my teeth don't slip down the pipe. If I was a clencher I think I would use them. Was worth a shot. |
