    A Whinge on Forever Stems!

    Yeah, I don't inhale. When lighting the pipe do you think short puffs or deeper puffs is the way to go?

    A Whinge on Forever Stems!

    I've just taken a picture of my stem. The opening on mine is about 2mm big. Does this look normal to you?

    A Whinge on Forever Stems!

    I just looked the cannonball up, that looks very interesting. I might go for something like that in the future that has a larger bowl for longer sessions. I only have experience with a cob country gentleman. I ordered a Savinelli Bing's favourite and I hope for it to arrive in the coming...

    Which pipes do you prefer? Any specific companies?

    The same here. My cobs never gurgled with the original stem but do with the forever stem

    That's a good suggestion. Unfortunately I've got 5 of these country gentleman's now.

    Oh right. I should have got a cob with an acrylic stem. Is it possible to buy one the cob acrylic stems to fit a country gentleman?

    You mention some of the newer cobs now come with a nicer acrylic stem. I thought the cheaper cops also had an acrylic stem? In terms of materials the stems are made from the same thing?

    A Whinge on Forever Stems!

    Yes. I think it's just my inexperience. I tried something new a moment ago. When lighting my pipe, I took much deeper inhales than I did prior to create a deeper and stronger ember. Creating way more smoke than I did earlier. I think this is the way to go. I was able to keep the pipe lit...

    Sorry I'm not familiar with the term CFM. Can you enlighten me?

    A Whinge on Forever Stems!

    Absolutely. The first thing I do with my stems is take out the filter. I love the draw from a stem with no filter. The draw from my forever stem with no filter is comparable to the draw on the original stem with a filter

    A Whinge on Forever Stems!

    It can pass a pipe cleaner. It's a little tight though passing it through. Yes I ordered them directly from Vermont Freehand. Unfortunately I don't have anything else as a reference point. I only know the draw of a mm cob. I have a Savinelli Bing's Crosby coming in a few days which will...

    A Whinge on Forever Stems!

    I just tested them both, and the difference is huge. With twice the effort on the forever stem, I'm getting like 50% of the draw. I love the quality of the material on the forever stem, it's a massive upgrade, but the draw kills it for me. Looking at the two stems side by side, I'm not...

    Even when the pipe isn't packed. Just the forever stem in an empty bowl, the draw is still really restricted. If I were to put a number on it. With the same inhale I probably pull in 40% of the smoke with the forever stem as I do with the original stem. The difference is very significant.

    A Whinge on Forever Stems!

    Title edited for brevity and whimsy. Original Title: "Just received forever stems for cob and I don't like them" I received a couple of straight forever stems today. Excitedly, I put them in my country gentleman mm cob, but I'm a little disappointed. The draw on the original cob stem is so...
