ok, I've ordered up one of these carbon pipes from Japan. Will let you all know how it goes. I did ask to purchase a number of them but I was told they are produced in very small numbers every month so a discount of only £10 was offered per pipe. Not really worth it especially as the bigger the package, the bigger the risk of it getting stopped at customs and them whacking a great big surcharge on.
Anyway, watch this space. I will pass on the details on how to order. In the meantime, you can relax knowing I'm the guinea pig
