Glass Pipes

Glass pipes are popular devices for smoking tobacco, herbs, medical marijuana, as well as illicit drugs. Glass pipes came into the mainstream during the 60s and 70s during the “hippie” movement, though the use of glass pipes has long since evolved beyond this small subgroup. Many glassblowers today create pipes influenced by the psychedelic theme of that generation, though individual artists have created new themes and styles throughout the 80s until the present. Some of the more popular themes include nature and pop culture, though you can find glass pipes in virtually any style, size, or color you can imagine. Glass pipes are more than just a device in which to smoke tobacco or marijuana. Glass pipes can also be a work of art, which is one of the aspects that made them extremely popular during the 60s and 70s amongst users of psychedelic drugs. The bright, swirling, glitter-like colors make glass pipes a popular pipe choice amongst art lovers, tobacco users, and drugs users alike.

Glass Smoking Pipes

One of the big benefits of glass pipes is that they don’t affect the taste of tobacco when heated like wood pipes do. Another beneficial aspect of glass pipes is that because they’re clear, you can see the smoke inside, which is something you can’t do with metal or wooden pipes. This allows you to see the amount of smoke in the chamber, which some smokers find gives them a better experience. When compared to metal pipes, glass pipes also have the benefit of heating up more slowly. And of course, glass pipes allow for greater creativity and freedom of expression when it comes to choosing a design. Glass smoking pipes can come in a variety of styles, colors, designs, shapes, and sizes. You can even get custom glass pipes tailored to your style. In addition to aesthetic considerations, one of the most important practical considerations to take into account when browsing for glass pipes for sale is the size of the carb. For those who are new to smoking from a pipe, a carb is the hole which allows fresh air into the pipe. If the carb is too small, the pipe can be nearly impossible to clear, which can cause the stale smoke to remain inside.

Glass Sherlock Pipes

Unlike modern glass pipes, which are usually straight, Sherlock pipes have a deep curl like a J – a throwback to the 1800s. Sherlock pipes are named after the famed fictional detective Sherlock Holmes, who turned the detective hat/pipe combination into an iconic style. While traditional Sherlock pipes were made of high quality wood, the modern revolution in glass pipes has brought about a renaissance in Sherlock pipes, which are now available as glass pipes in a variety of fancy colors, sizes, and styles.

Glass Water Pipes

Glass water pipes are glass pipes that also carry water, as the name suggests. The smoke, whether it’s a flavored tobacco product or marijuana, is filtered through the water before reaching the lungs, making the smoke cleaner and cooler. This effect makes glass water pipes a popular choice amongst many smokers. There are two primary types of glass water pipes: bubblers and bongs. Both bongs and bubblers will “bubble” when inhaled on, as the smoke passes through the water. Bongs are a large glass pipe that is smoked from the top, unlike a traditional handheld pipe. Bongs are extremely similar to a hookah pipe which is a popular middle eastern pipe used to smoke shisha – a flavored Tabacco product. The difference between bongs and hookahs are the presence of a carb. A carb is a hole in the bong that allows the user to control the intake of fresh air into the pipe. Bubblers are essentially a smaller version of a bong. Unlike a bong, the bubbler is smoked horizontally like a traditional pipe. While bubblers will require more cleaning than a bong, their smaller size makes them more convenient and portable.

Cheap Glass Pipes

The best place to find cheap glass pipes is to buy glass pipes online. While glass pipes can be found at decent prices at your local head shop, cigar shop, or certain convenience stores, online retailers can offer glass pipes for sale without the added overhead of a retail storefront. Additionally, the extremely high global competition faced by online retailers forces them to offer the most competitive pricing available or lose business to other glass pipe stores around the world.

Color Changing Glass Pipes – Chameleon Glass Pipes

Color changing glass pipes are an extremely popular glass pipe design amongst those who enjoy smoking. These funky glass pipes are blown through a process known as “fuming”. The fuming process allows some faint vapor traces of colored metal ions to pass through the glass during the blowing process. While these light traces of metal ions in the glass are not visible in the clear glass, as you smoke with color changing glass pipes, resin from the smoke builds up on the interior surface of the glass. The dark colored resin contrasts against the trace metal ions, which will start to become visible. This is what creates the color changing effect of glass pipes. Color changing glass pipes will slowly change over numerous smoking sessions, so don’t expect the change to happen at once (unless you smoke a lot for a long time).

Selecting Glass Pipes & Bongs

With so many choices of glass pipes and bongs out there, how does one know where to start? If you’re an experienced smoker, it shouldn’t be too hard to pick a glass pipe or bong that gives you a great smoking experience. The only decision left is what you want your glass pipe to look like. For those new to smoking or picking out a glass pipe for the first time, there are plenty of entry-level glass pipes for under $10/$20. For that price, you can’t really go wrong. If you’re looking for something a little fancier, then nothing is holding you back from exploring the beautiful world of glass pipes and bongs.
