I like the P-Lip myself 👍

It's barely a Peterson without the P-lip.
God and Texas!

I really like the System pipes. And the P-lip is part of the System. It took me a long time to be comfortable with a P-lip. I still can't clench them.

I find the newer acrylic plip’s to be a particularly awkward clench, they slip & roll around in my mouth. Vulcanite one’s on the other hand, I find an absolute dream to clench.

When I bought my new 301, it had an acrylic stem. Couldn't stand it! Thought I was gonna shatter me teeth! :lol: Had a custom vulcanite p-lip made for it, and love it. The only thing I don't like is that it's end-drilled as opposed to being top-drilledl like the Pete stems.

The real deal P-lip is the way to fly. Top drilling keeps from burn and bite IMO. Other than the look, I don't like the Grabow Omega stems because of the end drilling. It's like kissing your sister. Close, but no cigar.

Right. And isn't the internal drilling on a genuine Peterson stem different as well?

Yes, I believe it is. The only P-lip I have now is my rehabbed Pete Canadian.
