    Are Acrylic Stems Bad For Teeth?

    The sharp tooth indentations might act like sandpaper.

    Why doesn't your pepper have a birthday hat?

    Are Acrylic Stems Bad For Teeth?

    The effects of clay pipes on the teeth are pretty extreme. Is acrylic too hard for teeth? Also, will tooth marks act as an abrasive and wear at teeth similar to clay?

    Is it Safe to Leave Oxidation on Vulcanite?

    At 135 dollars if this pipe (savinelli) turns colors in the first 30 days the price will be hard to justify. I got a ks and plan on sitting the sun and using it as a daily without rotation.

    Is it Safe to Leave Oxidation on Vulcanite?

    Are you using a jewelers cloth that has the "rouge" on it or just a regular polishing cloth?

    Is it Safe to Leave Oxidation on Vulcanite?

    Dang, well it sounds like I can keep the oxidation off for a couple years. That's good enough for me.

    Is it Safe to Leave Oxidation on Vulcanite?

    I guess what I'm really asking is does vulcanite oxidize similar to aluminum in that the 'rust' doesn't really become "cancer".

    Is it Safe to Leave Oxidation on Vulcanite?

    If I like the pipe I think it will be worth it. I was reading that olive oil has SPF protection while mineral does not. Hot water will be good too. Thanks.

    Is it Safe to Leave Oxidation on Vulcanite?

    I have a ks savinelli in the mail but I bought it for smoking outside. Now I find out the sun might be a problem. So much for 1 hour smokes in the sun!

    Is it Safe to Leave Oxidation on Vulcanite?

    Title edited for capitalization. -jpm Does vulcanite oxidize like rust on iron? Does it need to be attended to or can it be ignored? Will oxidation eat away at the material?
