Fixin to order a new Falcon. I’ve only had Falcons with straight bits but would consider a dental if I thought it was an improvement. Input?

I find my Falcon International bent stem attractive but slippery. I would also be interested in hearing opinions of their dental stems.

If you mean the standard type Falcon but the bent type. I've got two and smoke them far more than my straight Falcons.

But I'm biased towards bent pipes...

Do the dental bits hang from the mouth better? My straight bit seems a bit heavy in my teeth.

You know there’s really only one way to properly answer your questions.

yeah hilasmos I find the straights heavy/unbalanced also and find myself holding them more than I want to. Bent way more user friendly in my opinion.
