GLASS PIPES
Glass pipes have come a long way becoming works of art in their own right. There’s simply nothing quite as convenient or versatile as a hand blown glass pipe especially for on-the-go tokers. Highly portable, discreet and beautifully blown, glass hand pipes are making a comeback, even as they compete with the endlessly mounting assortment of bongs, bubblers and rigs on the market.
Glass Pipes vs Bongs
In the day and age of smooth yet intense hits that bongs deliver, hand pipes offer an entirely different experience and still hold their own after all this time. As most pipe smokers appreciate, smoking from a hand blown glass pipe lets you pace your hits so that you can gradually and steadily increase your intake without overdoing it. In other words, greater control lets you ease into your high, something which is highly appealing especially for more laid-back seshes.
The Allure of Harshness
And while you don’t get the smooth hits characteristic of a water pipe, for many stoners a little harshness is part of the intrinsic allure of smoking a pipe. Perhaps part of the draw is the slight tingling sensation in the back of your throat that jumpstarts the warmth that spreads throughout your entire body.
Versatility of Glass Pipes
So whether it’s pure function or style you’re after, glass hand pipes often blend both seamlessly. From the elongated, curvaceous Sherlock pipe to the traditional spoon pipe, glass has a captivating quality to it that makes even the simplest chillum a masterpiece. The coloring, fuming, heady glass embellishments, detailing or lack thereof can elevate the piece, and you, to new highs.
How to Clean a Glass Pipe
The best way to clean a glass pipe is soaking it within a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and epsom salt. Simply pour enough isopropyl alcohol to cover the hand pipe fully and add in a few tablespoons of epsom salt into a ziplock bag. After the pipe soaks in the solution for 30 minutes, shake it within the bag, use a brush to scrub where needed and rinse clean. All your stoner friends will be impressed by your collection of clean glass pipes, awaiting their next toke.
Clean Glass Pipe with Vinegar
A mixture of vinegar and baking soda is an equally effective way to easily clean glass pipes, especially if you’re interested in a more natural method. If you’re wondering how to clean a glass pipe with vinegar, you can follow the same steps previously mentioned. Simply swap out the isopropyl alcohol and epsom salt with vinegar and baking soda. Then, soak for 30 minutes, scrub any hard to remove resin and give it a final rinse with soap and water. Now you know how to clean your glass pipe without isopropyl alcohol!
How Much are Glass Pipes?
You can buy glass pipes for as little as $4.20 to upwards of $50. It really depends on the quality, craftsmanship and complexity. For instance, a simple onie pipe can cost you $4.20 while a more elaborate pipe like the glass rose pipe costs roughly $50. However, most glass smoking pipes will be in the $10-$25 range.
