Let's be real here. Not a lot of people take notice of this but I 100% assure you that a brand new device never blazes good. Product always seems oily and doesn't sorta spread in the bowl. You needa wear them in, and I'll stand by that everyday because it's real. And also hot water through a pipe will make it seem that way too. It is it wastes product and smokes oddly and doesn't get you the high it should. But you keep using that new pipe for awhile and I assure you it will get better and better. If anyone else is aware of this or isn't. I want you to take note of when you buy a new pipe what product through it is like vs a worn a bit pipe. Interested to hear others feed back on this
