First of all, I snagged two of these new pipes from Brigham and they're on the way. Cost of $49 US each. Two Tundras. Rock Maple insert. The cheapest I can get any Tundra Series from Canada is about $140. Even with exchange and shipping I'm coming in with two pipes for less than 1 at home. Less taxes, too.

I've been bitching about pre-carbonated bowls ever since I came into the forum. I don't like them. Anyone who has prepared a colloidal suspension in University Chemistry or at home knows that any suspension including carbon particles or dust, or any other substance, in order for the colloidal suspension to harden into an insert, will be a polymer of some description.
In other words, you've been taking plastic into your system every time you break in one of these abominations. Not I said the little red hen. I noticed with pleasure one forum member saying he sanded the crap out of these things. I'll be following suit with those bowls I have that are not yet broken in.
If Brigham has recognized this problem (and I think they have - I'll see when the pipes arrive), they got my business until the other companies smarten up.
And it'll take a while for these new Brighams to reach my neck of the woods. And even in Ontario. If ever. And at these prices? Not like I need any more pipes but in this case, I pulled the trigger.
