I ordered this on a whim, tacking it on to some Xmas presents sourced from the PieceMaker people.
It was much bigger than I expected, that initially putting me off. But upon exploring how its magic works, I now think the size is right, the long stem allows for a relaxed position for holding while partaking & for the in between moments. The curvature of the stem seems to help reduce any harshness of the smoke, although I insert a little filter at the mouth piece to aid in that.
I do have a little difficulty reinserting the metal bowl after cleaning, so I wish that were easier, but not that big of a deal. I can work around that.
One feature I wish it had was a cap, where you could trap the extra smoke upon firing it up, and to securely trap the bowl’s remaining contents for a little bit of safety— how many times has a pipe rolled over spilling it’s embers onto clothes, carpets etc? It’d be nice to reduce that as an issue.
Perhaps a smaller version can be designed — I’d call it “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” — where you take the bowl size & cap of the Karma, extend & shape the stem to mimic the Konjurer & go from there.
To sum up: I like it & glad I sprung for it even though I am not short on pipes.
