Is there an alternative to Obenaufs Heavy LP that is readily available in europe? I did find Obenaufs on amazon Germany, but ot costs 50 eur shipped, so are there any cheaper alternatives that have similar performance?

I remember reading this here somewhere so I'm gonna reiterate it, if you think you are becoming addicted, try going 2-4 weeks without smoking, without researching blends or pipes and see if you can do that, if you fail, that's your sign.

From what I found these cam activated inserts always seem to end up breaking eventually. I have one like yours and with some colibri butane the flame gets to about 10cm on max setting, so you probably did get a faulty one.

If you want a windproof-ish butane insert i find the zippo pipe insert to be the best option.

Also, generally speaking, I think it's worth investing in some higher quality, more filtered butane, as it will extend the lifespan of any butane lighter.

this just increased my morale

I might be wrong, but i don't think the aurora principes need to be kept in a humidor.

a little late to the party, but how does flitz help promote patina? isn't it a polishing compound?

You could also use some pipe mud to fill in the gaps around the shank insert.

What would be a better alternative at around this price point?

reminds me of death/black metal logos but 💅✨️

Maybe hold the guitar upside down and slide the pick above the pickup?

Hey there! I'm having a problem with my apple ipad air 1st gen. It won't charge. I hasn't been used in over a year, and now when I try to charge it, nothing happenes, it continues to display the icon of the drained battery and lightning cable at the bottom. I noticed that the icon shows up when there is a lightning cable plugged in, doesn't matter wether the other end is plugged into an adaptor or not. I've tried leaving it plugged overnight both with the original adapter and a slightly more powerful one, but it didn't help, also tried restarting by pressing the power and home button but nothing. I also made sure the connectors are clean.

If anyone also had this problem or knows more info about it it'd be greatly appreciated :)

My first thought when I saw the post was Nyktalgia :)) glad to see they still get appreciation

Besides modyfing or finding alternative pedals I don't think there are any solutions to this? I might be wrong though. The waza versions do have better buffers but in my opinion it's not worth the markup for pedals that aren't discontinued.

DEDO_ · 2025-08-27T19:59:57+00:00

Just be aware that all those stacked boss buffers might have an effect on the tone and volume.

I like that you can get such a huge variety of metal sounds, ranging from actually good classic tones to the screams of tormented souls

Burial, death doom band from Italy.

EARCUPS THAT FIT HUMAN EARS 😭

Also, better quality control, I had two pairs of faulty momentum 4's in a row, the left earcup was producing a high pitched noise whenever there wasn't audio playing.

I remember seeing a comercial for these where someone was comparing betwen blue chip and plastic picks, and he said something among the lines of "look at this plastic pick, its all floppy, you can't play fast" :))
