I bought a Bekler CAO Meer from a friend. I just smoked it for the first time. Excellent smoker. Burned to the bottom with one light.
Afterwards I put a pipe cleaner into the stem like I do any pipe when I am finished. Then I doubled one in half to clean out the bowl. As soon as the pipe cleaner touched the inside of the bowl the bowl flopped over. Almost as though it was going to fall off. It rotated both ways.
Advice?

Get better friends! :)
Sorry to hear that. I hold all pipes by the bowl when cleaning the chamber as it puts no pressure on the bit-shank connection.

sounds like the push / pull tenon may be loose. They sell replacements that screw in and then push together.
