Glass pipe Christmas gift guide

Over the years glass artists and sellers alike risked their own liberty to bring glass pipes to market. When you walk into a headshop, you may be bombarded with the classic tongue-in-cheek line “For Tobacco Use Only,” but the restrictions have largely been relaxed or ignored in recent years.

Glass pipes became increasingly popular for decades as smokers used pipe materials with lower thermal conductivity to protect their fingers from burns – namely glass. Nowadays, glass pipes are approaching the finest art you will ever experience. Glass pipes are often auctioned off as art and also exhibited in a gallery.

In general – here are the different types of glass pipes: chillums, spoons, sherlocks, hammers, bubblers, water pipes (bongs) and steam rollers. For concentrates, you can find dab rigs, elbows, nails, diffusers, percs and so on. Each category has different controversial advantages and disadvantages. For example, some prefer ice pinching while others prefer diffusion. High Times explains the glass smoking paraphernalia you need to know about this holiday season.
