Cracked My Paykoc

[JackofNone]

Paykoc Pipes. $95 Canadian Lattice
I love this pipe and it's not returnable after smoking. I probably wouldn't return it anyway. But last night I was smoking in my idling car to avoid a chill (not my usual practice). I let the pipe sit on the roof of my car to cool off. The delta T in temp was probably 30-40 degrees F. I think that's when this happened. Hard to think something scratched it in my pocket while I got gas this morning. Anyway, she smokes fine. Cold air isn't the enemy with meer, crazy fluctuations might be more dangerous though. I put some wax on it and it got uglier. Oh well. I'm smoking this thing till it crumbles.

Just kidding. Its completely broken now

Still enough shank for repair - don't count it out just yet

Really bad drilling...

 

[JackofNone]

I'm gonna see if they'll send me another one. With that drilling job I can't imagine it would hold up very long.

Shout out to Josh @ Paykoc Pipes. Sending me a new pipe of higher value for free. I will post a pic of my epoxy job before or after class tonight. JB Weld works fine?

thanks brotha I am going to love this pipe even more now since my creative energy has gone into it.

My biggest concern at this point is an air gap.

Oops too late. Apparently JB weld is resistant to heat so if I don't taste anything I'm gonna continue rocking on with it. As long as it smokes I guess

If it works, it works!

You guys are more useful than my real friends

She smokes like a dream and fits in the case just fine. Another problem solved by the Pipesmag Forum Detectives.

That’s good to hear! Looking forward to seeing what the replacement is like.

Dang... that's one heck of a drilling job. Ouch!
Glad they're sending you a new pipe. Hopefully, it will provide a better smoking experience.

Nice on the replacement. I would add a metal tube insert for the repair - more gluing area and the airway stays glue or jb weld or anything else, free. Band the break line with something if you cant look at it, I have used that shrink wrap stuff they use in electrical work. It just for looks unless the fix is poor.

Thank you Sir. I love the look of it honestly. I know I'm a series of mended pieces myself, and this pipe and I have now come together after falling apart.

I will post the replacement pipe on this thread. They let me choose one with a silver band since they were out of lattice Canadians.

Wait the mend I made just broke. I think the JB weld has to ring around the crack so it can bond to itself. Didn't do a great job of bonding to the meer and itself. I will try shrink wrap tomorrow.

Sorry to hear it gave out. When does the replacement arrive?
