doctorthoss, I don't think you can go wrong with that pipe. I smoke VA/Vabur flakes in it exclusively and it smokes them very cool and dry. It was a pleasure to break in and I built a nice cake very quickly with those flakes. It hangs really comfortably and even though I am not a fan of acrylic stems, the button design makes it easy to clench. If you do get one let us know how you like it.
