Tired of tubes...
Posted by cheap & chippy chopper on Tuesday, 04-Dec-2007
Whoa, I think I'm having a little trouble navigating the new forum organization.
anyway, here's what I meant to post here:
After being burned down by the RYO mag guy over my suggestions for tube improvements, I got a bit "over" tubes and instead explored over 20 websites selling papers, filters, and rolling machines.
I discovered an interesting thing: good (meaning rice or flax or hemp, flavorless and "paperless") papers cost A BUNDLE compared with premade tubes. This fact, by the way, wasn't mentioned by said RYO mag person.
Anyone else noticed this? I thought, heck, papers are going to be cheaper. Hoo doggies, they ain't. Some of the nice transparent or wood-free papers cost almost double the price of the goodish tubes. That's *before* you pick up the filters, and the machine.
Whazzup with that?

Hi Dano - I thought it would be inappropriate to mention the name, since it's not a necessary point to the discussion. Probably obvious to most readers -- you, too, maybe.

I assumed you were talking about Doug, however, what I was asking was, I assumed you made some suggestions about the new tube, you said you were burned down, I was asking what the suggestions were and the reply that made you feel burned down.
