Filtered Glass Pipes

Bongs also have a weed bowl with a downstem, but those are removable. Because glass smoking pipes are nothing more than a bowl with straw, many users call them smoking bowls. Glass pipes range from simple chillums and hand pipes to intricate bubblers, and borosilicate formulas enable the glass to withstand the heat of burning tobacco or cannabis without being damaged.

In ancient times, glass was precious and owned only by pharaohs and royalty. Today, modern glass-working techniques create things as common as baking dishes and paperweights from glass. Exotic formulations and blowing methods create truly artistic pieces that are both functional and expressive. They are available in any color or color combination imaginable, and fumed glass even creates pipes that change colors when used.

As we mentioned, there’s no method of smoking that’s as convenient as a glass pipe. These beautiful pipes can range in size, meaning you can take yours wherever you go. Take it in your purse, pocket, or backpack so you’re always ready.

As a result, the glass is stronger, is less prone to breaking, and thus you will have it for a longer period of time. While you may have purchased an inexpensive imported pipe in the past, you have likely experienced the high failure rate. American Made glass will last longer and thus will be replaced less often.

The carb hole gives you the power to control exactly how big your rips are, so you don’t end up overdoing it. Typically the carb hole is placed on the left-hand side of the pipe. Make sure it is covered while you are initially lighting your bowl, and inhaling through the mouthpiece. Once you are satisfied remove your finger from the carb hole.

It is extremely workable and can be shaped into almost any design or color imaginable. Glass pipes eliminate the need for the paper used to roll traditional cigarettes. They provide not only purer flavor, but also smoke that is free from whatever toxins burning paper, which is made from wood, brings to the smoking experience.

Downstem - the downstem connected the bowl to the main chamber. Ensure the joint sizes and gender are correct for any ash catchers or bowls you want to use with your pipe. The Chillum looks just like the straight steamroller, but the mechanics of it are a bit more simple. The Chillum is also almost always shorter than the steamroller BUT because of the small size it means it can be made of many different materials, and it’s the best pipe discreteness. These pipes are noticeably different than the spoon pipes as they are straight and do not have the bowl.

With your free hand, hold a lighter to the bowl and ignite. At the same time, inhale deeply and steadily from the diaphragm. As the material starts to burn, the smoke will be pulled into the chamber and through the water, filtering and cooling it. Once the chamber begins to get full of smoke, remove the flame from the bowl, and continue inhaling.
