Never have tried them. I'm not a clencher so never thought they would help me with bite marks. Jerry

Re: Do you use rubber tips

I am a clencher so you would think they would be perfect for me but I cannot abide the rubber taste and the funky texture.

Re: Do you use rubber tips

I use them on my brand new, heavy pipes. If I don't start with a tip, I never will.

Re: Do you use rubber tips

i've had a couple, and would probably be wise to use them on a few... i've got a new pair in the "cellar" (my closet) that i just haven't put on anything.

i don't clench unless i have to use two hands for something, normally i hold the pipe to my lips and the end of the bit doesn't even come close to my choppers.

Re: Do you use rubber tips

I would love to hold my pipe in my mouth while doing things (page turning, shielding lighter from wind, etc, etc...), so I added a few to my latest order. Bite marks are just plain ugly & I'm sure I would hate the feel of them when putting a pipe to my lips.

Re: Do you use rubber tips

i've got a few bite marks on some of my estates and well used pipes. i don't feel them at all, to be honest.

i think it's more of a "cosmetic/collector" thing. then again, i'm sure some ppl like the feel of the rubber bit. it takes some getting use to, but if it were on a "truck pipe" that i have to let hang out my craw as i drive to/from work, then maybe i'll feel better on my teeth and jaw. just thinking outloud (that smoke you smell is my brain).

Re: Do you use rubber tips

I haven't up to this point but I am a biter and have recently ordered a dozen from Frenchy because I want to put them on some of my nicer pipes as well as a couple favorites that I have been babying. Gotta try something before I hurt the stems beyond some superficial scratches.
