Glass Pipes from Bowls to Bongs 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. These pipes actually date back centuries and have been used commonplace for many years in countries such as India. Modern chillums are almost always made out of glass. These are great if you like the taste and experience of smoking out of glass, but you want something that is portable and doesn’t take up a lot of space. Although these pipes have been recently trending , bamboo still remains towards the bottom of the list of preferred materials used for weed pipes. Bamboo could probably get dirty easily, but clean-up is not that difficult. Then pack the bowl with dry herb and insert it into the joint at the neck of the bottle. Light the bowl and lift the bottle at the same time. Once the bottle is full of smoke, remove the bowl and place your mouth over the neck, inhaling as you lower the bottle. The Gravitron will give you a dense, pressurized hit with no loss of smoke in the process. SteamrollerA Steamroller is a style of pipe that has both ends open with some sort of an attached combustion chamber . Steamrollers have been around for many years, but were popularized recently as a method used by water pipe manufacturers, to recoup a ‘lost’ piece. To help make your pipe last, we recommend cleaning your pipe after every smoking session. Clean out the bowl and use isopropyl alcohol to clean the inside of the stem. The alcohol will help prevent resin build-up, which can block the stem completely. The Sherlock is a hand pipe with a signature swooping shape, curving down from the mouthpiece and then up into the base of the bowl. Glass does not add any undesirable flavors to the smoke or herbs. Glass pipes are non-porous and outside of some small crevices, they are very easy to clean. The options are almost endless and they come in a plethora of shapes, colors and sizes. You are guaranteed to find something to match your style and smoking habits. However, a clean stone pipe will still give off a smooth cannabis combustion experience, every time. Not only are they all-natural and look cool, stone pipes actually hold a lot of advantages over other types of pipes such as glass and metal ones. You can choose from endless earthy colors and tones and some types of stones may possess healing properties or health benefits. Another advantage of clay or ceramic pipes is that they can be more inexpensive than pipes made out of other types of materials, such as glass. Clay pipes are also easy to clean and they can make beautiful pieces that can be displayed on a mantle. Ceramic is a very close second to glass when it comes to the smoothness and flavor profile when combusting cannabis.
