High Quality 304 Stainless Steel Twofold Filter,Tar Cigarette Filters,Reusable

I purchased this with the hopes of not having to keep purchasing the disposable tar filters. It is very well made and feels solid and durable. It comes apart and back together easily for cleaning. High quality.The only problem is that, even after cleaning it, I have to pull very hard. It's more than a little frustrating. Since it was relatively expensive, I am training myself to smoke it as though it were a pipe, puffing a few times before pulling to inhale.I will post again if I figure out a way to make the smoking experience less frustrating. Since there are two filters, I may just remove the second filter system and see if this helps to allow the smoke to flow more easily.UPDATE: I changed from 3 stars to 4 stars but then back again to 3 stars. Reason: You can clean this easily by taking it apart and placing parts in some rubbing alcohol for a few minutes. As I said, it is high quality. You just have to be patient enough to clean it regularly, with a sheet of toilet paper after each use, and, then, when you have to pull too hard to get smoke, then rinse it in rubbing alcohol, maybe every other day if you are a heavy smoker. So, if such cleaning rituals are a turn off, then you may consider this a 3 star rating; but, if you are patient enough to clean as needed, then you will be satisfied with this high quality tar filter system.Second Update: Even after removing the second (shorter) filter, it takes so much effort to pull the smoke that smoking is less enjoyable. I actually prefer the disposable filters, but find myself obligated to use this because of the money invested.What seems to work the best is removing the longest filter system and keeping the shorter filter. Then the pull is smoother and smoking a more satisfying experience. I do not regret the purchase. Since it pulls smoothly with the longer filter removed I have to give it the four stars. At 15F, you can smake a cigarette with gloves on! That must be why I purchased this in the first place. ;)
