Re: Plain water discolored my mouthpiece

hot water is a catalyst in addition to maybe the possible sulphur? or rust in the water which will bond to the molecules. usually when a mouthpiece turns colors, it is stabilizing the open pores by oxidation.

that was a rough explanation, but omar and vytass know much more about the chemistry behind this.

the search feature in the archives will explain this situation as there have been many conversations about this in the past.

Our inventions are wont to be pretty toys, which distract our attention from serious things. they are but improved means to an unimproved end, an end which was already but too easy to arrive as railroads lead to Boston to New York
