I recently bought an Epipe from Liberro. Reason being, my wife doesn’t like me to smoke my pipe around her (though at least she lets me smoke in the house when she’s not around). I find there are good and bad things with the Epipe: Good points: Can ‘smoke’ anywhere No need to light up, tamp, knock out etc - always ready No dangerous unhealthy chemicals (supposedly) Doesn’t leave a stale smell in the room, on clothes etc Doesn’t really feel like a real pipe. Experience is pleasant, but more like a hookah. Bad points: Liquid is marginally more expensive than tobacco. Flavour is ‘synthetic’; eg, if a pipe is like fresh brewed real coffee, an epipe is like instant coffee. Not unpleasant, just not the ‘real thing’. Not a great range of flavours in the liquids. I have ‘Holmes Mixture’ and ‘Ice Mint’ (nicotine free) No ‘room note’, or only a very slight one. Room note is one of the main attractions of a pipe, imo. Pipe a bit too big and heavy, can’t be held in mouth while doing stuff Jewel cap (lid on the bowl) looks fake. I’m trying to work out a replacement for this that looks more like a real pipe. Does anyone else have an epipe?

No, but I have been kind of put off with the big fake look of the things and the fact that you only get nicotine with these pipes and cigarettes, when you need the alkaloids to give what you need. Vitamin N seems to be only part of the picture for smokers which is why people get off cigs with whole tobacco products like snuff and snus but there is a big fail rate with nicotine only products. There’s a good set of vids on youtube by a guy called TropicalBob about these things and some ideas on making cheaper alternatives to the cartridges. Nice balanced review btw.

I have a Jazz Epipe, which has a tank on it for holding extra liquid - without it, the mouthpiece goes right onto the end of the shank and it looks a good bit more realistic. I’d agree completely with your assessment of the pros/cons of e-pipes/cigs/etc in general. I enjoy it as a sometimes thing, but I find myself chain-using the thing to try to get much satisfaction - but its fun nonetheless!

I don’t know, an epipe just sounds…wrong

No, I got rid of the WIFE . I love my Pipes

Haha basement-shaman, I did consider that if the mrs had tried to impose a total ban - but she’s a good woman and we reached a compromise! I’m also sceptical about the health benefits. I find my throat gets a bit irritated from the e-smoke and I suspect a few chemical nasties are included to give ‘throat hit’.
