'''VAUEN and the filters...''' | |||
The two decades after World War I. saw a worldwide race concerning the development of pipe filters and system pipes being extolled then here like there as the "ideal health pipe". VAUEN was one of the first manufacturers to introduce a simple paper filter in 1921. Purposeful further research and development led to the '''[http://www.vauen.de/eng/frameset_filter.htm Dr. Perl junior activated carbon filter]''' with a diameter of 9mm first shown in 1934 as a world novelty. | |||
An overwhelming success! The slogan "Ein heller Kerl raucht nur die echte Dr. Perl!" i.e. "A clever chap only smokes the original Dr. Perl!" worked well. In the course of the time - especially in Germany - more and more pipesmokers wanted to be a clever chap. Therewith VAUEN authoritatively started a process leading to the fact, that today clearly over 90% of all pipes sold in Germany are accommodated with 9mm filters. Other pipe manufacturers practically are forced to adapt themselves to that. | |||
Today’s further improved version '''Dr. Perl junior System filter plus''' is the best-selling 9mm activated carbon filter worldwide. VAUEN annually sells approximately 150 million filters, a notable addition to the pipe business. Since 1968 all pipe models are equipped with the Conex system. A conical shaped end of the filter chamber in the mouthpiece ensures an exact seat of the filter and hinders the smoke from passing by the filter. | |||
