    Re: Rare flower tool, how does it work?

    Because clearly elucidation a technique, like learning how to clearly express yourself, is a waste of time. Better to vomit out some indecipherable crap.

    Re: 14x20 or 14x23

    I think that the different is not in the diameter of the mouth of the joint, but in the height of the taper. 14/23 provides more surface area to grip than 14/20, but provides the same diameters, so...
