Uses of a Glass Tobacco Pipe


Posted October 23, 2020 by stonedgenie

Glass pipes, aka "hand pipes," are one of the most elegant ways to enjoy a smoke.
 
Glass hand pipes don't require water hence, all we need is a lighter and some of our favorite tobacco to get going. Glass tobacco pipes are the ideal smoking device when it comes to portability and convenience.

Cheap glass pipes of Stoned Genie are made using two processes: Blowing and Fuming.

Blowing

In this method, glass is blown into a huge bubble using an even, a hexagonal arrangement of clear glass. The bubble is then collapsed back to its compact form. Glass produced using this method is referred honeycomb glass.

Fuming

This is the process used to produce color-changing weed pipes. Silver, gold, and cobalt or other metal vapor is passed through the glass. As the material cools down, it traps small pieces of metal in it. The glass will be left with a very faint tint.

There are many types made from the two glass making processes. They include the following.

Chillums

Chillums, also referred to as hand pipes, are the primary type of weed bowls. They are small in size and have a simple design. The smoking material is packed into the end, then lightened and inhaled.

Spoons

These are more complex than the chillums as they possess a carburetor. Immediately after the smoke has been produced, it becomes stale. The carburetors allow more air to be drawn in. The carburetor on the spoons is a small hole.

Steamrollers

Steamrollers possess a bowl on a glass fitting on one side. Both ends are open and the end near the bowl functions as the carb.

Gandalf or Sherlock Pipes

A Sherlock pipe features a large bowl with an arched stem. It has a flat bottom to allow the stem to stand freely without being held.

Bubblers

Bubblers are ideal for filtering the harsh taste that results from resins and tars. Before the smoke is inhaled, the bubbler pipes diffuse the smoke through water. This process removes the tar and resins causing the smoke to have a smoother taste.

All the above come in all kinds of forms and we might know them as Weed Pipes, Bowls, Hand Pipes or One-Hitters. Glass pipes are used to smoke herbs or tobacco.
