[QUOTE="Puff Daddy, post: 289738, member: 3"] I agree with monbla, that offset is minimal, it's probably something else. My own take is that 1) System pipes are problematic in the first place (the notion of a condensation well to keep moisture from entering the stem is an interesting theory but it is really just a crutch for lack of a well drilled engineered airway), 2) The stingers are not neccesary and just contribute to 3) An issue where there is a smaller entrance hole at the stinger end and P lip mouth end than in the center of the P lip stem. I've removed the stingers and opened slightly the P lip end of system mouthpieces and they smoked better (as the button end hole and shank end hole now more closely match the internal diameter of the stem causing less turbulence and better airflow). I don't reccommend doing this though, as it ultimately creates an ugly P lip and ruins the pipe for resale. The quickest, most sensible fixes are 1) remove that stinger and smoke a few bowls. If it works better, great. If it doesn't, then 2) call Peterson and order a fishtail mouthpiece for that pipe. Their fishtail mouthpieces have greatly improved airflow dynamics over the P lip.
