Good one!!!!Chore boy is well known for being the "go to" filler for crack pipes. Living in San Diego, Imperial Beach, and Chula Vista, you see them all over. I also retired from SDCSO as a reserve deputy so crack heads are part of everyday conversation. You would be surprised how many younger folks automatically link the words chore boy with crack. As soon as I told my wife I needed to go buy some chore boy she jokingly said "why you planning on smokin some crack" before I even told her what I needed it for. I finally found some at a run down Walgreens and the 20 something clerk gave me this look and I said " it's for a CCV filter for my truck" and she replied "you can call it a filter if you want it's none of my business" implying that I am just another one buying chore boy and making an excuse as to why I am buying it.
Y2KW57, they cut little pieces of it off and fill the very tip of the crack pipe, just enough to hold the rock in place so they don't suck it down the tube. Among other things....

Also I would have never thought I would learn so much about "Crackheads" from a tread about CCV mod. It proves I am totally clueless ! I would have never guessed?!?

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the contiguous weave of the Chore Boy?
Won't they end up sucking in the now cut short flat ribbon like pieces?
Clearly, I missed the class on "How to smoke crack 101", which I'm sure they must teach in Health Ed nowadays. but this cutting up Chore Boys into little pieces each time they do it (which by all reports is all too often) just doesn't make a lick of sense to me.
Why not build the pipe with a permanent place to hold the rock(s)? Or build a metal screen across the chimney part of the pipe? Or, make a center stand inside the pipe bowl, like the spout of a bird bath, to hold whatever it is they are burning? Wouldn't that be more economical and efficient that cutting up bits and pieces of Chore Boys all the time? That just sounds so ghetto....

Here you go trying to help the crackheads out. That is very thoughtful of you........but I myself would like to come up with a way to make their crack pipes explode in their faces like e cigs do. 
I know that is not nice to say but I dislike anyone who is a parasite in our fine country. You can read into that if you want.

I thought crack and meth were the same thing? I thought the only difference was the stereotyped culture and demography of the users?
(wow are we off topic, and I'm rowing just as hard as anyone in the wrong direction!)
In an attempt to steer back toward the subject, any doctors in the house? Can you tell us which is more detrimental to personal health... CCV fumes or crack/meth/white rocky stuff smoke?

Crack is a prepared form of Cocaine and the "high" doesn't last very long.
Meth is created by mixing and "cooking" (meth labs) over the counter drugs. A meth high can last hours and hours.

Well, I will try to pull it back a little. I have noticed that several individuals report no drops of oil from their CCV mods that vent into the open; however, after just one trip last night looking for chore boy, I noticed oil drops in the catch can and oil on the steel wool. Now I am wondering why mine is passing so much oil as compared to others that report no drips at all. I have the hose coming off the dog house angled up and over the way it should be but I will have to do some more reading about what others are experiencing.

Dan,
I wouldn't be too psychotic about oil usage, either from burning it or sending it into the catch can.
After all, it's a diesel engine!
Blow-by has oil vapor in it. Your method is obviously working by catching some of it that otherwise would be in the air or in the intercooler.
Low on oil? Add some... Press on.........
Short of a rebuild, that's the best you can do, anyway.
And you'll know when THAT time comes.

I am going to keep a close eye on it for a bit and check/drain it every 3k miles to get a better idea of how much this can will collect. I do oil changes every 10k so I need to get this can added in the schedule.
