Smoke becomes stale if it is left in the pipe for more than a few seconds, and the freshest smoke is always the most enjoyable.

Hand pipes are the classic, old school smoking device used by your parents and grandparents. Often referred to as smoking a “bowl” our borosilicate glass pipes are perfect for tokers of all kinds. Unless you are looking for a bubbler, glass hand pipes typically offer you a dry smoke, meaning there is no water based diffusion of your smoke. One advantage of smoking glass pipes is that they are often the least expensive devices for smoking simply because they contain less glass than bigger devices. That being said, there are some pricey glass hand pipes out there, especially those that are hand-blown and/or very artistic in nature. In fact, hand-blown artisan pipes can sometimes be more expensive than the average bong or oil rig because the blowing and design process is so intricate and delicate.
They are available in any color or color combination imaginable, and fumed glass even creates pipes that change colors when used. A glass pipe is strong, but it can be broken if mishandled. Bubblers are especially prone to breakage during the cleaning process. The most delicate piece of a bubbler is the bowl stem that is inserted into the filtration water.

Then pinch the finer, ground herb, and sprinkle on top. Don’t pack the bowl too firmly, or air won’t circulate, and the herb won’t burn well. You may find it helpful to use a metal screen or bong gauze to prevent even small parts of the herb from being sucked into the glass. The water in a bong eliminates the dry heat that you experience when smoking a blunt or joint. The experience is often described as being creamy, smoother, and cooler than the harsh hit you get from a joint or hand pipe.
