Skilled artists can even create images on the glass by using lasers to etch the dichroic surfaces. When coated with a layer of clear glass, the etching is magnified into a clearly visible image. Hot glass is sometimes rolled in a powder of crushed, colored glass. The powdered glass layer is then thoroughly melted into the whole. This process is repeated multiple times, adding successive layers of color to the piece.

When the glass blower is happy with the length and size of the pipe neck, it's time to create the bowl. They do this by applying the torch directly to the end of the neck while simultaneously blowing into the cool end of the glass tube to create a bulb at the hot end. As they blow into the glass, the artist continually turns the glass to maintain an even shape. The pros of glass for the construction of smoking devices are numerous and have been touched upon in other sections. Glass adds nothing to the flavor of the tobacco or cannabis being smoked.

When loading the bowl you want to make sure to avoid packing it too tightly. If you do, no oxygen will make it through, and you will be prevented from getting a good rip. So pack the bowl nice and full, but loose so it will burn evenly. Not only is this hugely convenient for you, but it also makes sending gifts to your fellow smokers super easy. Don’t let distance be the excuse you give for not gifting your fellow smokers on their special occasions.

Keep in mind that metal pipes will need more time than glass ones to clean, so go for at least 15 minutes instead of just 10 for either process. Don’t put a metal pipe in a dishwasher, as the chemicals inside the cleaning solution could tarnish it. Grind your herbs with a grinder, put your tobacco or herbs in the bowl.
