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)
Er... just wondering... should it be mentioned that several other pipe manufacturers (Stanwell, Brebbia, Bjarne come to mind) have since adopted the Conex? Not sure whether that should go in here or into the individual manufacturers' articles. --Stizzleswick (talk) 04:28, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
It strikes me that it would be relevant here as well as in the individual articles for the makers that have adopted it. Please feel free to dive into those edits if you'd like. I gather these other companies have adopted the Conex system primarily for the part of their production that is destined for the Deutsch market? --sethile (talk) 14:38, 9 April 2013 (UTC)
Well, for their 9mm filter pipes, anyway, but for those, not restricted to the German market. Obviously not for non-filter pipes :P -- I'll put the info into the articles as best possible, but give me a few days. --Stizzleswick (talk) 20:06, 10 April 2013 (UTC)
