I think they are for cleaning tobacco pipes; I would definitely recommend these over craft ones, which are not designed for cleaning at all.

Unfortunately, you can get fat and\or long craft ones (that disintegrate easily), but a normal [tobacco] pipe cleaner is only about 6" long. I do not know how deep the carbon gets deposited and I used black pipe cleaners, but you could always try something like this "bore snake." Coil Pipe Cleaner - Pipes and Cigars

There is much more information here: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...-hx-22824.html

I should revise my first post to make it more comprehensive.
Alrighty then, but is there a version for the second generation? I have that one and its more a tube like thing then a plate.
