If you’re a stoner, you’ll probably agree with us that smoking using a bong offers a number of advantages over other techniques. Glass pipes are a mainstay, but they have a tendency to build up lots of crud that can be particularly sticky, thanks to the natural properties of cannabis.

Some water pipes offer this feature in the form of an ice catcher. While a glass water pipe isn’t as hardy as other types of water pipe material, such as silicone many have a borosilicate glass composition. While glass pipes have many possible names, each kind may have unique functionalities.
If you don’t have time to set up a bong or dab rig, or perhaps you only want to light up without any hassle, a hand pipe is your new best friend. The good news is, glass pipes can be restored to their original sparkling glory with just a bit of patience and some household items you already have on hand. Smoking your favorite herb results in a buildup of resin and ash, both of which may cause unhealthy side effects. Thankfully, you can avoid this by regularly cleaning your glass pipe.
All designs are original creations and are handblown just for you by Michael Sorenson. Prices range from $5 to upwards of $150 glass pipes depending on how fancy the glass artist has made it. Cheaper weed pipes tend to be mass produced and are usually imported.
A chillum has a small opening on one end and the mouthpiece on the other. The opening is usually big enough to pack enough for a couple of hits. We know the struggle of smoking from a cheap pipe, and unlike other weed pipes, these tobacco pipes are made to last.
The body of the pipe really is the meat and potatoes of the pipe itself. This is where your smoke will travel before you inhale it. The body of the pipe is also where you are allowed some personalization. There are just so many different styles and colors to choose from when it comes to the body! You will really be able to build a connection with your piece that will last a lifetime based on your initial feelings of the body. This is typically where you would add any design elements, like a twisted body, colorful rocks, fuming, or anything else like that.
So get out there and find yourself a piece that will last you a lifetime. (At least in your heart, just in case you drop it.) And remember, if you have any questions at all, or can think of something we missed, let us know! We have found that to be the best way to make ourselves better. Many glass pipes are available for a variety of smokers, and it might take some time to find the best one for you. As an additional bonus, none of these alternative methods of cleaning your glass pipes deal with any toxic chemicals. With their smaller size, glass pipes are more likely to clog up due to resin buildup if left unchecked, making your smoke session less effective.

The smoke you inhale is called a “hit.” Many first-timers do not fully inhale properly and waste their hits as a result, so ensure that your breath in is deep and full. Some people recommend you hold the hit for up to 30 seconds, but this is not necessary as long as you have fully inhaled. Once you have ground your dry herb with a grinder, fill the bowl to your liking. Do not necessarily pack it as fully or tightly as possible, as this can restrict airflow.
