What are Glass Hand Pipes?
Just like other wood, metal, or silicone pipes, glass hand pipes are used to smoke dry herbs burned directly from the bowl.
A glass pipe usually consists of a bowl, chamber or stem, a mouthpiece, and frequently featuring an air hole known as a "carb" (short for carburetor), which aids in clearing smoke.
Most glass hand pipes these days aren't as long or bulky like wood Sherlock or Gandalf tobacco pipes. Instead, they're slim, minimal, and discreet to use wherever you are. Also, they're used more to smoke weed than tobacco.
Ever since blowing glass pipes took on a resurgence in hemp culture, glass pipes have been the most frequently used and most popular smoking apparatus among consumers.
As it stands, the glass market is currently split between automated mass-produced glass pipes and custom hand blown glass pipes.

Different Glass Pipe Styles
Since there's no shortage of variety, we’ve divided our glass pipe selection into a few helpful categories. These categories are mostly based on the size, design, and shape of the pipe.
1. Spoon Pipes
Spoon pipes, one of the more common types of glass pipes, have a bowl at one end and a mouthpiece at the other.
These pipes tend to be small enough to be hand-held, with the look of a tapered “spoon” you might use for eating.
The unique spoon shape allows more room for the smoke to gather and deliver a more potent hit.
2. Chillums or One-Hitters
Chillums or ‘one-hitters’ are straight tubes with the cannabis bowl on one end and the mouthpiece on the other.
They provide a quick, easy, and discreet way of smoking cannabis. Despite their simplicity, they can deliver a potent hit.
,However this style of pipes doesn’t have a carburetor and is generally limited to smaller amounts of herb to pack in the bowl.
3. Steamroller Pipes
Steamroller Pipes have a mouthpiece and a bowl, but they also have a large, open end opposite the mouthpiece. This open end allows for greater airflow, creating an intense smoking experience.
It’s designed for more advanced or experienced smokers due to the density and speed of the inhaled smoke.
4. Hammer Pipes
Hammer pipes are so-called due to their shape. They have a flat base allowing them to stand upright, resembling a hammer.
Hammer section helps trap ash before it gets to your mouth, usually a more artistic piece with more work involved.
5. Sherlock Pipes
Sherlock Pipes are a specific type of pipe similar to a spoon. The major difference is in the neck, which has a curved design that resembles the letter "S".
Longer stem helps filter ash out of the smoke before it reaches your mouth. More convenient long shape keeps the burning plant material away from your face.
These pipes, designed to infuse a touch of mystery and confidence into your persona, encapsulate the spirit of Sherlock Holmes.
6. Bubbler Pipes
Bubbler Pipes are glass water pipes that are made smaller for cupboards and shelves where Bongs don’t fit.
A bubble water pipe brings together the ease of use and convenience of a regular glass pipe with the water filtration feature of a bong.
Factors to Consider When Buying a Glass Pipe
With countless options available, choosing the perfect glass pipe can be overwhelming.
Here are 5 key factors to consider when selecting a glass hand pipe that suits your smoking style.
1. Length of Pipe
The smoke will flow through the stummel and the stem before reaching your mouth, this is why the stem lenght has its importance.
The main difference between a long pipe and a short pipe comes down to the warmth of the smoke. The shorter the pipe is, the warmer it will be.
2. Size and Portability
Consider where and how you'll be using your glass pipe.
If you prefer outdoor adventures or need something pocket-friendly, a compact and portable pipe would be ideal.
On the other hand, if you prefer longer smoking sessions at home, a larger pipe with a deeper bowl may be more suitable.
3. Style and Design
When it comes to pipes shapes, sizes and styles – there is no shortage! This is why there are so many different pipes!
For example, The classic spoon pipe is the most common, but also includes a variety of designs and colors.
Your choice of pipe design should reflect your personal preferences. Choose a style that appeals to you, as you’ll be using your pipe daily.
4. Size of the Bowl
Consider the size (diameter, depth, mm) of the bowl when selecting your glass pipe, depending on your smoking style.
Heavy smokers often prefer bigger bowls that can hold more herbs, while others may enjoy the taste of a freshly packed bowl each time.
5. Carb Hole
A carb is the small hole on the left or right side of your pipe or bubbler that can be easily covered and uncovered by your thumb while you're smoking.
It improves airflow and efficiency, providing better hits than are possible in a carbless piece.
Many but not all pipes feature carb holes. Be aware of this before buying.
