I’m In Love With Wiebe Radiator Pipes

[Misanthrope]

I haven’t bought pipes in a pretty fair while, but for Christmas, I got a Wiebe radiator with a brown smooth volcano bowl. I liked it so much that I fell right down a new rabbit hole!

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on a smooth brown straight stack bowl? It’s my understanding that the smooth brown stack bowl has been discontinued for a few years, but I’d still like to find one.

I’m also interested in the red finished straight stack, orb, and Rhodesian bowls, if those ever existed.

The problem is they seldom love ya back. Especially the Volcanos. Those smooth brown, stacked ones, you don’t bring home to Momma and be sure to see your family Dr and refrain from any relations at home, until you’re sure; dont wanna radiate anything. But now you’re lookin at the red stacked orb Rhodesians. Man, get help…. before it’s too late! A pic would help! Let’s see!

Heh. This is my brown smooth volcano:

they are good pipes, but the weight was just too much for me. Also, i would have to empty the reservoir 2-3x during the smoke due to the accumulation of condensation.

Smoking pipes had a couple Wiebe estates last week I think.

I can see that being a thing.

Doesn’t bother me because the clenching side of my jaw has chiseled abs from a few years of smoking out of Moonshine Cannonballs and Kirsten Ds, so the Radiators feel pretty normal to me.

I don’t mind unscrewing and dumping the reservoir, but I do wish it were a little more like my Kirstens in that regard—pulling out a plug rather than having to unscrew the bowl. Fortunately, for me, it’s only really an issue with HH Burley Flake and HH Old Dark Fired because they’re so moist and burn so slowly that only geologists can relate to the timescales involved, and I tend to need to empty it twice or so during the entire bowl.

That's the pipe to upstage the vapers. What is their nation of origin? What is the metal work? Stainless steel, aluminum, titanium? Certainly interesting lookers.

Canada, the dribble cup is aluminum, the stem is stainless steel, and the mouthpiece seems to be acrylic.

I’ve got a tall bent purple frame with a sandblasted black stack that I never really smoke. Wicked cool looking pipe but it hasn’t seen much use other than eye candy on the shelf.

That’s a nice looking collection you’ve got there!

Hmm, now that you say that it’s time for some vinyl…
