It is possible to change a non-9mm pipe so that it can accommodate 9mm filters, but it is a precise work that should only be done by experts. The pipe's original dimensions and the hazards associated in modification will determine how practicable it is. To avoid weakening the structure, the process usually involves drilling out the stem's mortise to a diameter of about 8.5mm and making sure the tenon is at least 14mm wide. Anything narrower could cause cracks or instability, as pipemaking forums warn against the dangers of DIY attempts without the right tools. Videos and blogs from experienced converters, like those on YouTube, show how to use tapered reamers or specific bits to deepen the chamber just enough for a snug filter fit. But even then, it's not always easy; the stem material, whether vulcanite or acrylic, has to be able to handle the change without breaking. Some people are happy with this improvement because it makes their smoke cooler, while others regret it because it affects the airflow or makes the pipe look worse. Most people think it's a job for experts to do to avoid problems like uneven drilling or voiding warranties. If your pipe is designed to enable it, such a strong briar with a lot of tenon space, the conversion can help with moisture management. However, you should think about the expenses and possible negatives of doing this vs just buying a 9mm type.

What brands and models of pipes work with 9mm filters?
There are many different types of 9mm smoking pipes from well-known companies that cater to this European-favored standard. These pipes combine great workmanship with the benefits of filtration for a more refined experience. Vauen's dedicated 9mm models are popular on blogs for their unique forms and ability to work with charcoal filters. Savinelli, on the other hand, has models that can work with both 6mm and 9mm setups, providing smokers a lot of options when it comes to shapes, from billiards to freehands. Peterson's Dublin Filter series is a popular choice that people often talk about on Reddit because of its Irish roots and how well it works with balsa or charcoal inserts. Stanwell finishes out the list with cheap but strong alternatives that are great for novices. Big Ben, Brebbia, Butz-Choquin, Chacom, and Rattray's are all well-known brands. Each one has its own unique finishes, including sandblasted or smooth briar. Some versions, like Chacom's Maigret or MUXIANG Savinelli's churchwardens, are made just for 9mm. These brands are the most popular in online pipe communities because they are high-quality and easy to find. This means that no matter if you want a straight pipe for quick sessions or a bent one for relaxing, there is a 9mm-supporting model that fits your needs, often with adapters for unfiltered use, making them great choices for any collection.
