Chronicling An AliExpress Pipe For Science 2.0: The Re-Chronicling

[OzPiper]

But smoking this one was never an option, but if you'd like to try you are more than welcome to buy a similar one and test it out.

Waiting for you to put it through the ULTIMATE test

You mean the impact test?

You mean the impact test?

Is it still smokeable after all the torture
More importantly, WILL it pass a cleaner ?

 

[mikethompson]

Did you see the wonky drilling? I'm surprised this passes anything LOL

A circuitous smoke draft no doubt. Maybe the factory used a faulty drill bit ? Wonder if the rim will withstand the ”Knock Test” to remove remnants after a smoke? How well will the rim resist knocks?

We know the pipe smokes after the heat gun test, but how does it smoke? Lol.

My guess, it will impart the waft & flavor of burnt rubber & hair

It’s obviously not on par with Algerian Briar, gods gift to mankind Bobby.

As opposed to a POS I think it qualifies as a PSO
(Pipe shaped object)

....but not for long!

It will be emerging from the deep freeze tomorrow!

Is that a pipe, or the snout of a wooly mammoth?

The Results:

Honestly no worse for wear. The stem is just as loose as it was before, so freezing didn't change that.

I was surprised that the deep freeze eliminated all of that strange bowl coating.

So I guess if you want to remove bowl coating in your new pipe, just freeze it for a week haha!

Apparently the coating was water soluble.

Well that’s something I wouldn’t have learned otherwise. What other tests do you have planned?

 

[Ahi Ka]

What’s the returns policy?

I'm answering the real questions.

What other tests do you have planned?

Honestly I didn't think it would get this far.

What’s the returns policy?

Once you have clicked the thread, your click cannot be returned, sorry.

Apparently the coating was water soluble.

I think it just flaked off, as it was sitting at the bottom of the container.
