The Poker
The poker is the key component of the Proto Pipe, securing both the stash tube and tar trap in place. If the poker becomes loose, gently push the collar on the stash tube upward to create tension. This tension holds the poker securely, preventing it from falling out and ensuring the pipe stays properly assembled. Keeping the poker snug ensures smooth functionality and easy maintenance.

We can get your old pipe back into a fully functioning state, and looking as if it just came out of the box.
OG sold design and now it’s nothing but a machined piece of metal. Bowl is different, tar trap is a PIECE OF NONSENSE…it’s literally just a cavity that gets so gunked it won’t come out right. Save your money…this isn’t the pipe your dad and grandad had.
These are not the same protopipes I used to buy and recommend to people. Bowl of wonky, center hole is tiny and tar trap is just a cheap hollow piece that doesn’t fit as smooth. Not diggin’ the new curve on the stash tube either. Not worth the same price as the legacy, and certainly NOT the classic they advertise.
Amazing little pipe, wasn't a super big fan when I first got it, but the more I use it, the more I love it. Everyone should get one. The lid makes it easy to take a puff, close the lid and toss it right in your pocket, ready to open the lid and take another puff any time without spilling what is left. And the backup herb tub for storage holds enough to refill the pipe 4 or 5 times. Very nice. Going to order another model soon
I love this pipe. If you want a pipe that will never let you down then this is the pipe for you.
I've been smoking for 20 years and this is the best all around pipe I've ever used. The construction is SOLID - nothing cheap feeling at all. The bowl is perfectly sized and draws nice. The reservoir holds a good amount - plenty for a hike or maybe even a weekend trip. If you keep the bowl lid clean and adjusted properly, it closes up air tight. I was skeptical of its odorlessness, but it can be in you pocket undetected for sure. It does require more cleaning than a glass pipe, but it's not too much of a chore (use 99% alcohol). Another tip - if you're going to pop the resin trap out, be sure to warm up the bowl to loosen the resins bond to the bowl/trap, otherwise you could easily bend your pick.
100% would recommend.
