How to Maintain Vulcanite Stems Easy and Safe?
I was wondering if the oxidation process goes on forever or does it ever reach a limit ? If the green stuff is sulfur and you rub it off then would the sulfur "run out" at some point? Would this have any noticeable effect on the quality of rubber? Luckily it seems easy to take care of, and I...- elnoblecigarro

What Are These Marks Inside The Bowl?
Hello, I just received my new Chacom pipe. I took a flashlight inside the bowl and I see some marks inside the bowl. They look like groups of small holes. I am guessing they are caused by some tool during manufacturing? Are these normal or something to worry about? I have never really taken a...- elnoblecigarro

How to Maintain Vulcanite Stems Easy and Safe?
Obsidian oil is hard to obtain where I'm from (I'm in Europe and I would likely have to order it from some other country), so I would rather try to find a substitute that can be found in any store.

How to Maintain Vulcanite Stems Easy and Safe?
EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) Hello, here is a picture of my pipe stems showing some oxidation. I have smoked these pipes for four years and never done any oxidation removal. I can't taste any odd taste coming from them. I don't have access to specialty chemicals like...- elnoblecigarro
