Filter Adapter direction

[tmgaus51]

Hey All,
Just to make sure I've got it right: the end with the bump goes into the stem so it doesn't slide around in the pipe, correct?

Thanks,

Dave

Hard to tell not knowing the pipe it's going into. Never seen an adapter like that.

I thought you were asking for direction on whether or not to use an adapter. My advise would be no. I have a couple of adapters and never use them. I much prefer smoking without one. But I have no idea which way that one goes in.

It's weird, I got these and some Vauen adapters through 4noggins. They have a rubber-band like bump either near the end or the middle of the adapter. You have to force the rubber-band end into the stem, otherwise it isn't thick enough to hold still in the stem. Go figure.

Looks like a 9mm filter adapter and yes the end with the little o ring goes in the stem. You might need to use a little nose oil to get it to slide in. I like Savinelli filters for both 9mm and 6mm use, but I use the adapter if I'm not using a filter. 6mm filters don't need it as much.

Great, thanks Orley. I smoked it once facing the other direction--guy was really bouncing around in there.

Just push it far enough in to get the stem in the pipe. With the o ring on there it may be hard to remove down the road.

Got it. Thanks.
