Pipe Filters and Gauzes
Gauzes and filters are designed to enhance your smoking experience by improving airflow, reducing debris, and filtering harmful tar.
Gauzes, or pipe screens, are small metal or mesh discs placed at the bottom of the pipe bowl. Their purpose is to prevent the tobacco or other material from falling into the pipe's stem or being inhaled. This helps keep the smoke clean and prevents blockages, ensuring a smoother draw. Gauzes also allow for even burning of the tobacco, promoting a more efficient and consistent smoke.
Filters, on the other hand, are usually inserted into the stem of the pipe. They are made of materials like activated charcoal or absorbent paper and are designed to reduce tar, moisture, and harmful chemicals in the smoke. Filters help to cool the smoke and reduce the harshness, making it less irritating to the throat and lungs. By absorbing excess moisture, they also help prevent the buildup of liquid in the stem, which can affect the flavor of the smoke. Together, gauzes and filters work to improve both the flavor and overall smoking experience while reducing some of the harmful effects of smoking.
