Cake Question

[Puffy]

I started to do this last nite,and my keyboard quit.I'll try it on this new one today..As a rule I keep just a thin layer of cake in my pipes.Less than is usually recommended.I have one pipe though that seems to smoke better with more cake in it than the rest of my pipes...I'm just wondering..Do you keep the same thickness of cake in all of your pipes,or does it vary from pipe to pipe?

I try to keep it down to between a nickel and dime thickness except cobs and meers which I try to keep cake free. I do it mainly because I like a longer smoke and the length of the smoke goes down when the cake gets thick. That being said I would not hesitate to keep the thicker cake in a pipe that smokes better with it. I've heard that too thick a cake can lead to cracking but I think that would have to be an extreme case.
