How To Use A Glass Pipe?
Step 1. The Right Type of Fire for Lighting a Bowl
There are three ways to light a smoking pipe: matches, fluid lighters, and butane lighters. Candle lighters and cigarette lighters don't work well as they have a larger flame and burn too hot, which can damage the bowl.
1. Matches:
The most traditional way. Strike a match stick, wait for the sulphur to burn, then gently puff through the mouthpiece while moving the match in a lazy circular pattern around the bowl filled with herbal smoking mix/tobacco smoking substance.
2. Fluid Lighters:
Reliable in most weather but can harm the rim of the bowl and give an unpleasant smell and taste to the smoking blend.
3. Butane Lighters:
Reduce the risk of harming the flavor of the smoking substance. Help keep the flame where needed and avoid burning your hands. They are an investment but worth it.
Step 2. Lighting Your Smoking Pipe
Light your pipe correctly to keep it lit. Most pipe smokers light their pipe twice.
1. Charring Light:
First light is called the charring light. Gently puff through the mouthpiece while moving the fire gently around the smoking blend in a lazy circle. This will char the substance on top.
2. Second Light:
After getting the char on top, gently tamp down the smoking substance in the bowl and repeat the lighting. With experience, you can go through the entire bowl with just these two lights.
Step 3. Keep Your Pipe Lit with Tamping
As you smoke, ash relics form on top of the smoking substance. Use a smoking pipe tamper to tamp down the smoking substance evenly.
Step 4. Smoking Pace
Aim to take puffs often enough to keep the smoking blend lit but slow enough to keep it cool. Smoking too hot can damage the bowl and cause a dreaded tongue bite. Hold the smoking pipe by the bowl to know when it's too hot and slow down. Better to relight than smoke very hot.
How To Clean A Glass Pipe?
Step 1: De-Gunk Your Piece
Remove loose particles by running the dirty glass piece through hot water and/or holding it upside down and gently tapping. Use a pipe cleaner or paperclip to dislodge resin. Be gentle to avoid breaking it.
Step 2: Place Your Piece in a Ziploc Bag
Fill a Ziploc bag with rubbing alcohol and place your piece in it, ensuring it's submerged. The alcohol will break down resin and tar.
Step 3: Add Salt
Add salt to the mixture. Salt acts as a mild abrasive and helps scrub off residual particles and reach hard-to-reach places. Different people have different preferences for salt types. Kosher salt is a good choice.
Step 4: Seal Bag, and Shake Rapidly
Seal the bag and shake the pipe in the bag for 90 seconds to two minutes (or until visibly clean). You can put your hands in the bag and use your fingers to close off the openings of the pipe to shake the mixture inside the chamber.
Step 5: Pour Out, Rinse & Repeat
Pour out the dark brown solution. Refill the bag with alcohol and repeat. Run the piece under water to remove loose remains. For extra dirty pipes, soak for several hours or overnight. Do a final rinse with hot water and discard the solution in the toilet, not the sink.
Step 6: Buff Up Your Piece With Q-Tips or Cotton
Depending on how perfectionist you are, use Q-tips and a little bit of alcohol to clean any leftover residue.
