It looks to me like that stinger is still dirty and crudded up. I have a Kaywoodie that took a lot of work to get the nasty stinger clear but just working at it with alcohol, pipe cleaners, and a tooth brush did get it clean.

No problem brudda,,I just keep the stinger clean and it smokes fine.Just have to do the maintence.The only real problem I have with that one is my packing tech and you guys have given me Great instruction on that.I don't have enough pipes to start selling or trading so all of mine are in use to some extant or another.I pull out the Meer to piss of my son,since he got my Rossi stolen.He borrowed it and took it to work and someone wanted it more than he did.
