What are Hand Pipes?

Hand pipes are rather rudimentary devices that serve for smoking tobacco, cannabis, or any other herb. They tend to be relatively small and portable. Most pipes have a more straightforward design. While there are many variations of these pipes nowadays, like bubbler pipes with a designated water chamber akin to bongs. They often lack a developed filtration system. So, if you're worried about ash and debris getting in your mouth, you may want to purchase an additional pipe screen. Most hand pipes have the following key elements: a bowl, a mouthpiece, a neck, and a carb hole. The neck and the carb hole, alongside the bowl and the mouthpiece, are the core elements of a pipe. They can be as small and inconspicuous as cigarettes or as curved and ornamented as some smaller-scale themed bongs. Moreover, hand pipes for weed can be made from different materials; ordinary glass, silicone, metal, and even wooden types. While the materials a hand pipe can be made of might impact the pieces' price, durability, and longevity. All in all, the user gets to pick whatever type works for their needs and budget. Some smokers want to feel the original, wooden taste, while others want to go for an attractive, ornamental glass blunts aesthetic. And then some smokers prefer modern metal variants. Finally, clumsy weed-heads would probably opt for silicone pipes.

How To Use Hand Pipes Like a Pro?

Luckily, one of the biggest perks of opting for a hand pipe over a bong is how easy it is to smoke from one! All you need to do is:

Take your freshly ground weed - or another smoking herb of choice. And pack it in the bowl - the open, bulbous section at the end of the pipe.
Put your mouth to the mouthpiece and, at the same time, light up the herb at the other end of the smoking device.
This third step is optional. Put your thumb over it if your hand pipe has a carb hole (whose purpose is to clear the excess smoke).
Inhale from the mouthpiece and remove your thumb from the carb hole, exhaling once you've taken enough.

That's it! It's as simple as smoking a regular cigarette! Many hand pipes for weed - known as chillums - lack a carb hole and a long neck. So smoking from them is nigh identical to simply smoking a cigarette! You just light up the bowl filled with herbs, take a breath from the mouthpiece simultaneously, and exhale! If you genuinely want to use a hand pipe like a pro, you may want to get a pipe screen. Set it inside, and use it as a designated place between your mouth and the bowl. Since there is no filtration system in most pipes, you'll essentially risk breathing in ash from the burned herbs and other smoking debris. This is unhealthy, but it can also provoke a choking sensation, make your throat burn, and cause a severe cough. There's indeed a charm to smoking like in the good old days. But, there's a good reason why the smoking industry has created various smoking tools and an even wider variety of filtration systems. You should opt for a small, great, and compact hand pipe to get the best of both worlds. You can then accessorize it with a suitable filtration addition if you want. Just get a pipe screen, and you'll be able to have your cake and eat it too!

How To Choose Hand Pipes: Best Shopping Tips

When shopping for hand pipes for sale, there are several tips and tricks that you may want to bear in mind.

First of all, properly research the best brands selling hand pipes out there. Of course, there's the option of going to your local head shop and getting the first pipe that you see, but in this day and age, it's wiser just to go online, and see what there is to offer. The rule of thumb is that the more well-known the brand, the bigger the reputation to uphold. This means that they probably have various products on sale and of high quality.
Secondly, verify your first impressions of a brand by checking user comments: Nothing's more reliable than customer feedback; you'll essentially be consulting other people like you, who've tried these hand pipes first hand. A brand or a product with a long list of happy customers is one that you can safely rely on.
Finally, consider the price, materials, and budget: you need to know that you're not splurging an insane sum of money for a product that you can otherwise get for much less - at the same quality. Moreover, be aware that glass pipes, silicone pipes, metal pipes, spoon pipes, pipe cases, etc., are all priced differently. Know how much you can spend, and you won't regret your purchase!

Different Types of Hand Pipes

Before you go and make your purchase, know what you need and what kind of hand pipes you'll be looking for!

Spoon Pipes

This is the most general type of pipe. Even though glass blunts are most commonly found on the market, spoon pipes are the same as the ancient wooden hand pipes. As the name suggests, these are shaped like spoons and come with a long neck and a carb hole. These can be easily stored everywhere and are available in several materials, with different designs, and at varying prices.

Chillums

Much smaller and first originating in India, these are known as one-hitters. They're essentially straight tubes, which look like puffed-out cigarettes. They tend to be cheaper and have exciting designs but offer poorer filtration.

Bubbler Pipes

A cross between a hand pipe and a bong, bubbler pipes have an additional chamber where you can put water to enhance filtration. Of course, considering their size, you shouldn't put too much water since it can land in your mouth. These are smaller, portable bongs with the hand pipes aesthetic.

Steamroller Pipes

Finally, steamroller pipes are a subtype of regular hand pipes for weed, with a carb hole positioned at the end rather than the side of the pipe. This serves to create better airflow and improve smoke clearance and filtration. They tend to be cylindrical in shape.

How To Clean Hand Pipes?

Cleaning your hand pipe is a crucial part of its maintenance. While the exact methods depend on the particular material that your pipe's made of, and its overall design, the one safe choice you could go for is isopropyl alcohol. You need a solid substance to eradicate all resin and sticky herb debris, and isopropyl alcohol never fails to deliver. You can also add some coarse salt to the mix for better scrubbing. Just soak your pipe in the mixture or put it in a small bag, add the cleaning ingredients, and shake it until the liquid gets everywhere. Rinse your hand pipe under hot water, clean all remaining residue, and let it dry. That's it! Do this, and your hand pipes will always emerge as good as new!
