The History Of Glass Pipes Unveiled

By Tamika Powell


Glass pipes refer to the most common types used for smoking marijuana and other herbs. They are often sold in tobacco shops, although you can find them online or can order one from a glass artist. Custom made ones are symbols of class and are coveted by their owners. They are usually sculptured to the buyers' satisfaction by a renowned artist and in most cases are beautifully decorated to mean something to the owner.

The first kinds made of glass date back to the 16th century. In the times of Roman emperors, the ones made of glass gained popularity with smokers of tobacco. Ever since then their popularity has gone up steadily. The reason is because glass allows smokers to taste pure tobacco.

The length of the pipe as well as the elbow joint should be thought about carefully when customers decide to purchase a pipe. If a flatter joint is used, the pipe it is more stable during use. The size of the bowl is essential too, because it will settle how many people will be able to use the same pipe. The bigger the bowl, the more people can use the pipe.

As time has gone by, the variety of them on offer in the market has increased significantly. This trend is mainly due to the need of users to have better pipes. For instance, there are some that can be disposed and others that are not difficult to conceal. Smoking style needs to be taken into account when customers decide to buy a pipe because smoking will be a lot more enjoyable with the proper pipe.

The ones currently in the market come in a limitless number of styles. They are all a result of the desire to fulfill specific smoking needs. For example, there are pipes designed to be easily hidden while others are designed to be disposable. The most important consideration when buying a pipe is your smoking style as only you can enjoy the satisfaction of having the right pipe.

It is very important to give your pipe a proper clean every so often. Alcohol can be very useful for this purpose and if you clean each part individually, you can ensure the taste is not distorted or affected in any negative way. Make sure that every part is totally dry before putting everything back together. To ensure proper upkeep of your pipe, you will have to replace the screen on a monthly basis. If the screen has holes, you might taste some ash in your mouth. Besides, new screens will allow you to clean the pipe less frequently.

There is no doubt that the ones made of glass offer more benefits than traditional types. They also do not get as hot as metal ones. The transparency feature is also important to see when it's time to change the screen. Even when there are advantages, you need to know that they can be expensive and that they are very fragile.

Thanks to advances in technology, it is now possible to use glass pipes to act as filters. This is the main reason why these kinds of pipes have become so popular around the world. At present, there are countless stores that have the device on offer and even provide free shipping.
