Do Peterson p-lips just change tongue bite into roof-of-mouth bite?

They can steam you just the same as a fishtail can if you go too fast but generally less bite than a fishtail if it’s a tobacco issue.
Depends on the smoker's placement of the tail. Mine is between the teeth so, no that I've ever experienced.
The roof of the mouth is less sensitive then the tongue so if it did that would be a sign of really over smoking.
The pipe is the tool and you must serve an apprenticeship before you have the skill to call yourself a tradesman
If you're determined to get bit, they will accommodate you but in general, my experience is "no". Same as someone above, if I've worn out the roof of my mouth I've had too many bowls in way too short a time. I suppose if you are pre-disposed to tongue bite physically it may be an issue, but can't speak to that.
I've certainly done it, but just like regular bits, it is mostly a cadence problem.
It also makes a difference if you are using a system versus a non-system pipe. The full system (including the condenser) makes a tremendous difference in allowing steam to condense and drop out of the smoke, helping the tobacco smoke cooler, which ultimately reduces the chance of "roof" bite...

never use filters and the rare times I feel like using one I'll do a dry ring (pipe cleaner) in a falcon. I find it's just not the same with one.
Not really. I smoke Petersons exclusively and I rotate between fishtail and p-lips. This gives the tongue time to rest.
The best way to find out is to try one with an open mind and find out for yourself.
Tongue bite has been a thing for as long as pipe smoking has been around-just look at the near infinite amount of gadgetry and designs that have been made to provide a “cooler, drier” smoke over the years.
The fact that Charles Peterson’s “p-lip” has been in production and demand for over 125yrs speaks volumes, whether “Internet influencers” or just sage smokers with decades of experience share that they like them or hate them.
One thing is for certain, like a new tobacco blend, you can’t rely on anecdote to know what you will actually like. You must try and find if it works for you by personal experience and giving something a fair shake.
Fun to talk about, but until you find out for yourself, it’s all speculative.
I really like them, but also like other bits. I do feel they are a must for a Peterson to be a system, as they are a design feature of what makes the actual system (regardless of if the factory sells “system” pipes with fishtails or not-that is about options to make money).
