Pipes

ARE WEED PIPES GOOD?

Yes, weed pipes are good for quick and straightforward smoking sessions where you want direct control over each draw. They are compact, easy to carry and simple to set up, which makes them practical at home or outside.

Smoking pipes can range from straightforward styles like hand pipes and one-hitters for fast use, to bubblers and water pipes that offer light cooling through water. You’ll also find other options such as dry pipes, spoon pipes, wood pipes, brass pipes and tobacco pipes.

These pipes come in different materials, shapes and sizes. Among the most common are glass and metal. Glass pipes offer a clean taste and usually feature unique designs that make them stand out, while metal pipes provide strength and durability for regular use.

HOW TO USE A WEED PIPE

To use a weed pipe properly, first know the basics. The bowl holds your ground herb, the mouthpiece directs the smoke as you inhale, and the carb hole controls airflow if your pipe has one. How you pack the bowl and draw air through the pipe affects the airflow and the way the smoke travels.

Here’s how to use a weed pipe:

1. Grind your herb for an even burn: Grinding helps airflow through the bowl and allows your pipe to burn more smoothly.
2. Pack the bowl without overfilling: Fill the bowl with ground herb and leave enough space for good airflow.
3. Use a lighter: Hold a standard lighter or a jet flame lighter above the bowl and inhale gently as the herb burns.
4. Cover and release the carb hole if your pipe has one: Keep your finger on the carb while you inhale, then release to clear the pipe.
5. Inhale from the mouthpiece in a steady way: Draw the smoke into your mouth and lungs, then exhale at your own pace.

HOW TO PACK A BOWL

The bowl is the part of the pipe that holds your ground herb, and packing it well keeps the airflow steady. To get the best burn, fill it lightly and evenly so the herb burns right through instead of going patchy.

To pack, break the herb into small pieces and place them in the bowl a little at a time, then tap down gently. If the pipe has a small hole on the side, use it to control airflow as you inhale and to clear the smoke. For lighting, use a normal flame or a jet lighter.

DO YOU GRIND WEED BEFORE PUTTING IT IN A PIPE?

Yes, it’s best to grind your herb before loading a pipe. Grinding breaks it into small, even pieces so the flame spreads through the bowl and airflow stays steady. If you drop in large chunks, the outside can char while the centre stays unlit, which makes each draw uneven.

You can use a weed grinder or break it up by hand and aim for a medium texture. For best results, avoid a powdery grind because it can block the bowl.

DO YOU PUT WATER IN A WEED PIPE?

No, you don’t put water in a weed pipe. Dry pipes are built to work without a water chamber, so adding water can leak into the bowl or mouthpiece and make the draw uneven.

If you want water-based filtration, use a bubbler or a water bong instead. These smoking devices cool the draw and produce filtered smoke, while a dry pipe delivers a direct hit and offers easy portability.

HOW DO YOU CLEAN A WEED PIPE?

Resin buildup on a weed pipe can block airflow and increase the risk of breakage if you try to scrape too hard. To avoid this, clean your pipe regularly. Whether you use a borosilicate glass pipe or a silicone pipe, you can make the cleaning process straightforward with the right tools.

To make it simple, we stock a range of bong cleaning supplies designed to clean your weed pipe without relying on household products. Here are some easy steps to follow:

1. Use a pipe cleaner: A pipe cleaner reaches into tight spots and clears residue from the stem and bowl.
2. Choose a glass cleaner: For borosilicate glass pipes, use a powder or liquid cleaner made for glass to loosen and remove resin.
3. Pick the right brush: A small or medium brush helps scrub away buildup without risking scratches or breakage.
4. Go for suitable options: For a silicone pipe, wash it with warm water and a suitable cleaner, then rinse it well.
5. Rinse and dry: Always rinse thoroughly with warm water and allow your pipe to dry completely before using it again.

HOW MUCH DOES A WEED PIPE COST?

The cost of a weed pipe depends on the material, size and design. You might find a simple glass or metal pipe at a regular price that works for your budget, while more unique designs can cost more.
