Ideas for a Vulcanite Stem Soak?
The OP is not addressing oxidation on the stem. Rather buildup of some substance in the airway.- monty55

Can We Talk About Water Glass (Sodium Silicate)?
This is so damn funny, because I don't inhale, and I forgot that point, and my entire issue with it is now mute! Problem solved, well done! I'll just go have another drink puffy- monty55

Can We Talk About Water Glass (Sodium Silicate)?
Yes, I was thinking more about initial smokes and with regards to the bottom third of the bowl, where a lot of pipe repairs take place. It seems to me that the bottom of the bowl would have a high moisture content, i.e. water. And what about those who use the warm water method of pipe bowl...- monty55

Can We Talk About Water Glass (Sodium Silicate)?
I'll make this as short as possible. I have read many threads and some articles that describe the use of Sodium Silicate as a bowl coating, or for repairing bowls used as a pipe mud. I even bought a bottle of it several years ago but have been hesitant to ever use it. As a scientist, I was...- monty55

100 for 50 (Feedback Requested)
To @Old_Newby and @OSOBUCO Apologies to you both. Old_Newby, it's obviously a fine idea, you should run with it. OSOBUCO, you know I love you brother... Having a rough time as of late. That's why I'm selling tins from my cellar, just to pay my damn bills. Pisses me off. Anyway, it's a...- monty55

I understand what your saying. I think maybe I was misunderstood. Of course, everyone has that right, and should sell their tinned tobacco if they so wish, to whomever they wish and for whatever they can. Buying and selling tinned tobacco is not, or was not my issue. Admittedly, most of the...- monty55

Why not just throw a few pinches in a few baggies, find a few newbies and make their day? Remember when I offered to send you a pipe stand when you started out, but you already had one? Well @Old_Newby got it instead. Along with about $200 in well aged tins and some samples of tobacco blends to...- monty55

Well, that's one way to go... Or, you could find newbies on here, have a big heart and just send them some samples or tins, because that's what we do, like I did for you ... I guess the question is, do you want to help out newbies, or do you want to make some money.- monty55

Ideas for a Vulcanite Stem Soak?
There's no such thing as too small a hole for an ultrasonic machine. If the liquid solution is in the hole, so are the sonic waves. Are you sure your machine is working correctly? If it's a cheap one, the transducer can fall off or come loose from the bottom of the basin, thereby making it...- monty55

Armellini
Is there a B&M in Toronto you could take it to? Ask them to take a look at it. I bet if you bought a tin of tobacco from them, they'd be happy to check it out for free. or Any members here from Toronto?- monty55

Mold Expansion in the Cellar?

Mold Expansion in the Cellar?
That doesn't look like mold to me. You need to get a magnifying loop. You will see that these are crystals, not fuzzy mold. If it was mold, it would be everywhere in the tin of tobacco, not just in a few spots. I'm pretty sure this is NOT mold. And since it's not mold, it won't cross...- monty55
