Disassembling the pipe while it is still hot is not recommended because the heat causes the expansion of the wood and other materials composing the pipe. This temporary expansion makes the connection between the stem and the calabash more fragile, increasing the risk of damage such as cracks or breaks. Furthermore, forcing disassembly when hot can compromise the pipe’s seal, leading to issues during subsequent use. It is always better to allow the pipe to cool completely before taking it apart, thereby preserving its integrity and ensuring a long lifespan. This careful attention is part of proper pipe maintenance and care, essential for every slow-smoking enthusiast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"page-faq-new.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"ep_exclude_from_search":false},"class_list":["post-101437","faq-new","type-faq-new","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nWhy shouldn't you disassemble a hot pipe? | Savinelli<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"You shouldn't disassemble a hot pipe because the heat expands the wood and components, making it easier to damage the stem or the calabash.
