Thanks BW. It's interesting that the bigger bowl with the smaller hole seems to have a little smoother draw to it. I'll have to switch the stems and see if I notice a difference.

My older Omega with the vulcanite stem has a better draw than the one with the ABS stem, which does have a larger hole.

Rev, if you get a close view of an OMEGA mouthpiece, I believe the ABS stems appear more blockish with sharp corners. Vulcanite stems have slightly rounded edges.

Sorry, BW I was thinking it was you that said you put down an opening bid on the Omega.

I went back over the posts -- DR did you win it? If so, I'm glad you got it. And, thanks DR for the pointer on the stems. I'm really wanting to get an earlier one so I can have the vulcanite stem.
