FAQ:
Why silicone smoking pipes suit travel and outdoor use?
Silicone pipes are usually preferred for travel and outdoor use due to their durability, they are lightweight, easy to fold and store and most importantly will not break or shatter if dropped or bumped. If you drop this silicone pipe on the concrete floor or any other hard surface, the silicone body will not break or crack but the glass cone piece might so when it is not in use, it’s best to fold the silicone body over the glass cone to give it extra protection against drops or shocks. Silicone is easy to clean, using dish washing liquid and warm water.
How do silicone pipes compare to glass and metal pipes?
Silicone pipes: Silicone is naturally porous which means that if not cleaned thoroughly and regularly, dirt and grime from previous sessions may collect in the pores of the silicone and alter the taste of your smoke, for hygiene purposes, we recommend cleaning your silicone pipe after every use. Silicone pipes are extremely durable and resilient to drops and banging around.
Glass pipes: Pyrex glass is 100% non-porous, dirt and grime should not build up in the pores of the glass delivering a crisp and clean session providing you keep the pipe clean after each use. Glass is more fragile compared to metal and silicone so avoid dropping it on hard surfaces. Keep your glass pipe clean with a Honey Puff glass cleaner available in 5 different scents – grab a sachet at: https://www.mybongshop.com.au/collections/bong-cleaning-supplies
Metal pipes: Metal pipes are usually low cost, low maintenance and are extremely durable especially if dropped or knocked around. Keep your metal pipe clean with isopropyl alcohol or dish washing liquid and warm water for constant clean and pure hits.
How to clean a silicone pipe properly?
Keeping your silicone pipe clean is extremely important to ensure continuous fresh and flavoursome hits. Silicone is naturally porous meaning that dirt can collect in the pores of the silicone if it is not kept clean. We recommend using dish washing liquid with warm water – avoid glass cleaning solution and isopropyl alcohol as these may damage the silicone. Follow these easy steps to keep your silicone pipe squeaky clean:
- Remove the glass cone piece at the end of the pipe
- Rinse the silicone body and glass cone in warm water (avoid hot or boiling water)
- Fill a container or kitchen bowl with dish washing liquid and warm water and submerge both parts for 20 minutes – 25 minutes
- Use a pipe cleaner or small cleaning brush to scrub away dirt and grime (grab any of these from our cleaning page): https://www.mybongshop.com.au/collections/bong-cleaning-supplies
- Rinse with warm water and allow to fully air dry before assembling to use again
How the curved shape affects the smoking experience from a "Sherlock" pipe?
The Sherlock shape isn't just for looks, the distinctive curve will change the way you smoke from this pipe. As the smoke has to travel along a longer path from the cone to the mouthpiece, it has more time to cool down before it reaches your mouth, resulting in smoother hits. The raised cone design also keeps it further from your face, which means less heat near you and a more comfortable grip during longer sessions. It's a classic design that has stuck around for over a century for good reason - it looks great and it works well!
