That's probably a better idea because of the sugars and the overall pleasant taste of rum. GL Pease (the man/myth/legend) uses Everclear. The main thing seems to be that high proof spirits get tar off and they're something you would put in your body willingly (none of this using Pledge furniture polish nonsense).

Give dat a whirl.
Thanks for updating the link.

I should point out that intentional misspellings can be particularly frustrating to FTT members for whom English is not their first language. If I can't understand it, and a translator can't translate it, then it's just gibberish.

@deluxe

duly noted, and I can understand. I work with alot of non English speaking people in my line of work, and much can be lost in the translation.

Correction below in red:

You forgot the "s", but I corrected it for you.

I bought once this pipe from a US store,

218441454161715ece0e5e76f6d228cf41cc92b8.jpg


but when i opened the box i saw that the slot was defective, was not in the centre of the lip but to the right! I was very angry and i throw it away, unfortunately i haven't kept the photo.I replaced the mouthpiece with another in a different colour and i hope that you will like it.

Here is the procedure step by step:
