Glass pipes are just one type of pipe that is used for smoking. In addition to glass, you can also find metal, ceramic, corncobs, or wooden pipes for smoking. Although many ingredients are used, smokers often prefer glass pipes because they allow them to enjoy the different flavors available from all the various strains of the leaves.
Along with glass pipes, you also have the option of dry or water filtration (or both) and many more options for a unique, custom-designed pipe. Glass pipes made in the United States offer sustainable construction and are less likely to be toxic than Chinese imports.
Chillums: These are the most basic types of glass pipes. They are easy to place because they look like glass tubes. Smokers pack the material at the end of the pipe and light it. Although the simple design makes them easy to use for smokers on the go, the pipes do not have a carburetor and generally limited to a small number of herbs to pack in a bowl.
Spoon pipes: They are probably the most popular type of glass smoking pipe. They are much more advanced than plain chillums because they contain a carburetor, which offers better control over your smoking experience by combining smoke and air. It affects the density of the smoke.
They are small enough to be held in your hand, with a tapered "spoon" shape. Due to its size, it is easy to use for smoking. Just pack the bowl with a herb or tobacco mix, and you're good to go. The glass spoon pipe comes in many colors and designs.
Sherlock Pipe: The name Sherlock Pipe is derived from the character himself. This pipe includes a large bowl and a long arched stem. Depending on the design, it consists of the third hole for cleaning and airflow control.
Hammer: As a dry-filtered alternative to a spoon pipe, like a Sherlock, the end of the briar or hammer pipe is turned up or down before the bowl is packed. There is a wide range of these pipes such as Calabash, Pear and Apple, etc.
Monsoon pipe: This bong is water-filtered that you can take with you. It is similar to a spoon, but it carries water to filter and is designed to be spill-proof. Water filtration significantly reduces carcinogens (combustion toxins such as carbon monoxide are soluble in water), free radicals (oxidants), and ash/solids.
This glass pipe passes through water to filter smoke.
Typhoon pipe: A typhoon pipe is a dry pipe that delivers dry filtering through the air director on the glass pipe's side that creates a swirl of airflow, which spins heavier solids and sticks to the cool inner surface of it the glass. The added air also supports the cooling smoking experience and pleasant smoking within the filter chambers.
Bongs: Bongs are not considered traditional water pipes because they are designed for single use. Like hand pipes, glass rods come in a variety of styles and colors. These include a water filtration process that makes smoking a smoother and cleaner experience. These pipes are easy to exchange water before each use, produce good filtration, and cool smoke. Some models have intense filtration modules that provide maximum filtration.
