Konex system

The statement in the article that the Konex system is built into all VAUEN pipes since 1968 I must state to be not true. I own several VAUEN pipes from the early 1990s that do not have it, and a recently-seen example at Danpipe (made in about 2002-3) also does not have it; even the (relatively slim) Dr. Perl filters won't wedge in. Given the precision I am used to from the factory, I doubt that this is due to manufacturing tolerances.

Thanks! I have edited the article in light of these examples you mention. Thank you very much for letting us know! --sethile (talk) 02:03, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
Sorry for not having been registered for my previous input; I have taken the liberty to correct the correction, so to speak, to reflect what I actually was trying to say--AFAIK definitely all VAUEN pipes do accomodate filters; just not all have had the Conex system between 1968 and 2003. Since 2003, all VAUEN pipes I have encountered do have it. Stizzleswick (talk) 04:50, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
Fantastic! Thank you! The filter section is much clearer now... --sethile (talk) 13:09, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
