smaller overall VOLUME yes, bore no.
and why is that? if it's the same air to smoke ratio, why would a bigger hit taste worse??
given that the ehle is 50mmx18in and the roor is 45mmx18 inch, The ehles volume in Inches cubed would be 3613IN cubed, the roor would be 3414IN cubed, would would be about a total of 3/4-1" in height added to the ehle tube if it were the same bore size, your telling me that would change the taste that dramatically?
Might be the fact that it takes longer to burn and inhale the extra amount of material, thus making the smoke sit longer causing it to lose taste. As we all know, stale smoke doesnt taste good.
But I do know, that a bigger hit doesnt taste make up for lack of taste.
Yes, bakinwithroor, I'm telling you the taste difference is definitely noticeable.
This exact reason is why they make those smaller bore tubes, better taste.
In simpler terms, the ehle compared to the roor, if they were the same bore size, the ehle would be 19inx45 while the roor was 18x45.. that inch changes taste?
