That’s Not A Burnout

[BROBS]

This is a burnout



Flippin POS Volkan pipe ?
I’ve had like a spot in a chamber like this but never rings all around. Looks like if I keep going the top of the bowl will pop off.

Did you find that after reaming or do you keep excessive cake from forming on your pipes?

Not reamed I was just running my tamper up and down the walls to clean off stuck pieces of tobacco when chunks started crumbling out.

Is that an estate you're cleaning up?

Nope purchased brand new. Broke it in with half loads and everything. Seems a soft area of the briar about halfway down.

It is better to burn out... than to fade away.

Wow...there had to be some soft wood in there somehow. That sucks.

This burnout is real, not fade away.

I had good results fixing a similar issue with this method provided straight from the Olympus of pipe repair:

Sounds like a good challenge to follow up the 1 Grabow for 1 year. Get busy BROBS. Smoke it hot and fast.

Daamn. You burnt that motha up.

Could be technique but I don’t think so since this hasn’t happened to any other pipes I’ve got. Even my other Volkan pipe.

That kind of shit has to be a flaw in the briar.

So sorry dude. It's just the luck of the draw.

No ... this is a burnout.

I think it had to be a flaw for sure.

No wonder they sell these puppies for $40!

It could be soft briar, but hat looks more like a gouged cake layer. Easy to fix.

Take a strip of sandpaper and wrap it around your finger and run that sandpaper covered finger around the inside of the bowl -to smooth out the cake. Your hands will be filthy from the powdered carbon, so do it over a sink or over a sheet of newspaper.

I usually then coat the bowl with honey and then pack the pipe with tobacco. Smoke the pipe the next day, and lightly wipe the bowl interior with a paper towel when the pipe is cool. Some tobacco might/will cling to the wall of the bowl. Load and smoke the pipe as usual, wiping the bowl walls with a paper towel each time, after smoking. Cake will build up very gradually if at all. Too much cake?....sandpaper away the extra carbon buildup, if necessary.

I've been smoking for years and have rarely gouged or chipped away the cake that builds up in my pipes.

Sandpaper, works.

It’s burnt char into the wall. That smooth part you see above the burnout is the wood of the chamber wall.

I know what you’re saying... and have had that happen. But this is certainly not that.
