With so many different types of pipes available on the market today, it can be tough to decide which vessel is suitable for you. This article will make the decision easier by outlining the benefits of each type of pipe and providing tips on choosing the best pipe for your needs.
Different Types of Pipes
Glass hand pipes are perhaps the most popular type of pipe among smokers. They offer a clean, smooth smoking experience and can be easily customized to fit your individual style.
Glass hand pipes are also relatively affordable, making them an excellent option for budget-conscious smokers. Pipes are available in all different shapes and sizes, each offering its own unique benefits. Here are some of the most popular types of pipes available:
Steamrollers: Steamrollers are a type of pipe that features a large bowl and a long, straight stem. These pipes get their name from how they look – like a large steamroller. These pipes are great for smokers who want big, powerful hits.
Spoons: Spoons are one of the most common types of pipes available. They get their name from their spoon-like shape and usually feature a small bowl. Spoons are great for smokers who want a quick, easy smoking experience.
Chillums: Chillums are straight, tube-shaped pipes small enough to fit in your pocket. They’re perfect for busy smokers who want a discreet way to enjoy their herb. If you’re looking for a pipe that’s easy to use and easy to conceal, a chillum is an excellent option.
Sherlocks: Sherlock pipes are a type of pipe that features a curved bowl and stem. They’re named after the famous detective Sherlock Holmes, who was often depicted smoking a similar kind of pipe. Sherlock pipes offer a distinctive smoking experience.
Bubblers: Bubblers are a type of pipe that combines the best of both worlds – the portability of a chillum with the smooth, water-filtered smoking experience of a bong. Bubblers come in all shapes and sizes, so there’s sure to be one that’s perfect for you.
Bongs: Bongs are the classic style of pipe that uses water filtration to cool and make the smoke smoother before the inhale. Bongs can range from being not much larger than a hand pipe to 24" tall +
Why Should I Choose Glass?
Glass pipes are the preferred choice among smokers for many reasons. Glass pipes offer a clean, smooth smoking experience. They are also pretty affordable, making them a great option for budget-conscious smokers.
In comparison to silicone and metal pipes, glass pipes are easier to clean and don’t affect the taste of your herb.
When it comes to durability, glass pipes are more likely to break than silicone or metal pipes. However, most glass pipes available today are relatively durable and can withstand regular use.
Considerations When Buying a Glass Pipe
Now that you know more about glass handheld pipes, it’s time to choose the best pipe for your needs. Here are some elements to consider when making your decision:
Price: One of the first things you’ll want to consider is price. Pipes range in price from around $20 to $200 or more. So it’s easy to find a pipe that fits your budget.
Material: As mentioned before, pipes are typically made from either glass, silicone, or metal.
Size: Another critical factor to consider is size. Pipes come in all shapes and sizes, from small chillums to large steamrollers. Choose a pipe that’s the right size for your needs. Different pipes also feature different bowl diameters, so be sure to choose one that’s the right size for your smoking habits.
Style: pipes also come in a variety of styles. Some are simple and functional, while others are more ornate and decorative.
Functionality: One final factor to consider is functionality. Some pipes are designed for specific purposes, such as smoking dry herbs or concentrates. Make sure you choose a pipe that will meet your needs.
