FAQ:
What is a dry pipe and how does it differ from a bong or water pipe?
A glass dry pipe is used to smoke herb but unlike a bong, there is no water chamber. A bong or water pipe contains a water chamber, this helps to cool down and filter the smoke, providing you with larger and easier hits. With a glass dry pipe, you simply pack the cone, light the herb and smoke – the smoke is usually drier and hotter, providing you with a harsher and more direct hit. When using a glass dry pipe, the flavour is usually stronger as water can dull down the taste.
Why do glass dry pipes deliver a cleaner and purer taste compared to metal or silicone pipes?
Glass dry pipes usually deliver a clean and pure taste for the following reasons; glass is non-porous meaning that dirt and grime will not get stuck in the pores of the glass and due to this hits will retain the herb’s full flavour as it is not being contaminated by past sessions. Metal pipes naturally conduct heat better than glass, so they heat up quickly and due to this your smoke will be hotter and more intense. Silicone pipes are harder to keep clean and also may retain dirt over time (which can impact on the flavour of your smoke), it may also leave a rubbery aftertaste. If you prefer a crip clean taste over convenience, then this Medium Glass Dry Pipe is the right choice for you!

How to clean a glass dry pipe properly?
Keeping your gear clean is not only important for hygiene reasons, it also ensures smooth and crisp sessions. Follow our simple step by step guide to keep your glass dry pipe sparkling and performing well:
- Using a pipe cleaner or small thin brush, clear as much of the grime from the cone as possible – grab your essential cleaning accessories from our bong cleaning supplies (https://www.mybongshop.com.au/collections/bong-cleaning-supplies)
- Using a plastic zip bag or small kitchen bowl, fill it with either isopropyl alcohol or a glass cleaning solution
- Submerge the pipe in the solution for at least 25 minutes – 30 minutes. If using a bag, squeeze the bag to get the solution into all the small crevices or if using a bowl then use a pipe cleaner or cotton bud to clean the bowl while in the solution.
- Rinse the pipe well in warm water (avoid hot or boiling water as this may crack it)
- Allow to air dry properly before using it
How durable is a glass pipe and how long will it last?
This is a good question! Glass can break if dropped onto a hard surface but it's important to note that this Medium Glass Dry Pipe is made from Pyrex glass, which is a lot tougher and more heat resistant than ordinary glass. Pyrex is designed to handle repeated heating and cooling without cracking, which is exactly why it's used for this pipe. With a bit of care, a glass pipe should last you a very long time. The main thing to consider is impact, so avoid placing it on the edge of tables where it can be knocked off and keep it stored safely in between sessions. Treated well, a quality glass pipe won't just outlast a cheap metal one, it will also deliver a far cleaner and purer taste.
