I seem to have developed a second embouchure as a result of mouthpiece buzzing..
It`s much tighter and my lips pinch in almost at the centre-it`s quite easy to get high notes without using much pressure but cant get low ones.
Any suggestions?

but the thing is im tempted to use it because with my normal embouchure, i struggle a bit in the upper register and use quite a bit of mp pressure and as a result kill my lips..
this "second" embouchure i think i roll my lips into a pinch(i think its something or other like that..) and that takes me way up to the high registers without any problem but it sortof puts a "Block" to any notes below the g ontop of the staff.

Oh and one more thing.. I`m going on vacation and wont be able to take my trumpet with me. It`s for 6weeks. I was thinking of taking the mouthpiece though..

Vacation is a terrible thing in some respects. The trumpet is not a large instrument, but would be classed as inconvenient when it comes to travelling. I say take your mouthpiece with you is the second best option to taking your trumpet(which in your case doesnt seem like an option)

Happy Buzzing!
