My virginity has been taken ...
That doesn't sound right. Did you pass a pipe cleaner through the pipe and stem before smoking it? Sometimes a small piece of stem or debris can be lodged in there. See if you can trace down where exactly the whistle is coming from. Welcome aboard! Just keep trying different blends. It won't be...- monty55

Smoking Room Ventilation
Great! Man with 8 fans you should have some really nice air flow, even set on the lowest setting. You will get better and quieter air flow if you remove the cages. Let us know how it works out when you get it installed and tested.- monty55

Smoke Air Purifiers
There are small inline vent fans about the size of a muffin fan you can use. They're pretty quiet. I would avoid bathroom type fans, as they're noisy and inefficient.- monty55

Smoke Air Purifiers
I think if I were to try and get rid of the smoke over my work bench in the garage, I'd build some kind of vent hood over the work bench with ductwork that vented outside the garage. Perhaps with the vent fan placed closer to the exhaust exit in order to reduce noise. No filters to mess with...- monty55

Difficulty keeping Gaslight Lit
Gaslight is always like this. I find that breaking up a slice into small pieces, letting it dry till almost crunchy, and packing it very lightly helps a lot. But don't be surprised by relights with Gaslight.- monty55

Smoking Room Ventilation
The rack of fans is not in the window in these photo's. But you can see the insulation tape, and you can see the foil tape between the insulation tape and the rack of fans.- monty55

Smoking Room Ventilation
Update! For those of you wanting to replicate this, there is a new twist/tip as follows: I mentioned that you need to apply a thick insulation tape around the edge of the rack of fans to take up slight gaps on the ends, and to get a good seal on the top and bottom and a nice cushion to close...- monty55

Can We Talk About Water Glass (Sodium Silicate)?
I have some hardwood (oak) ash I can use, but there is also a cigar lounge in town that I could get some cigar ash from. I think either will work, as they have worked for others for many years.- monty55

Can We Talk About Water Glass (Sodium Silicate)?
Glad this has generated some healthy conversation. To be clear, I was not intending to use this as a bowl coating, but rather to make a pipe mud with for bowl repair on a spot of initial burnout. I've never had a briar burnout yet, but I have a Churchwarden my daughter bought me at the...- monty55

Smoking Room Ventilation
We've had 8 weeks over 100 degrees, and 2 weeks over 104 degrees and high humidity. Hasn't stopped me one bit. The rack of fans comes in and out of the window very easily. I set it up. Smoke. Give it a bit to air out the room, then pull the rack out of the window and shut it. The fact you have a...- monty55

Can We Talk About Water Glass (Sodium Silicate)?
Interesting. I'm a Geologist (retired) as well. I was thinking along the same lines. I actually have a small jar of ash from Mount St. Helens. I was sailing on a coastwise tanker on the West coast and we were going up the Colombia river when the eruption started. We were due for a two week stay...- monty55
