Top 10 Smoking Pipes For Weed

With so many different ways to experience weed today, whether you are a seasoned smoker or deep into edibles, your choices are expansive and only limited by your imagination. This is very much the same when it comes to the selection of pipes available.

Weed smokers have long enjoyed pipes for their simplicity and artistic flourishes alike, and for the stoner on the go, pipes forego the hassle associated with rolling joints and blunts. Simply load up and you’re ready to smoke! With numerous factors to consider, such as size, style, and build, let’s take a look at the top 10 smoking pipes for weed.

But before we get into our list, let’s run over some information on the different types of pipes available.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF CANNABIS PIPES: METAL, GLASS, WOOD, SOAPSTONE

Soapstone, glass, metal, or wood? Where exactly do you start when looking for a pipe? It is not all style over substance when it comes to pipes, as each type has its pros and cons.

Metal pipes are often seen as the sturdiest types available, and they are very often the cheapest too; however, borosilicate glass and one-piece soapstone pipes are arguably just as strong and reliable, but come with that added touch of style. There are, of course, always classic wooden pipes to consider, which bring a refined air to every smoke session.

Not only do pipes differ in material, but design too. Everything from the classic Sherlock pipe to highly expensive decorative pieces and sleek pocket pipes can be found on the worldwide marketplace.

While all the pipes featured on our list are easy to maintain, many smokers favour glass pipes because they are so easy to clean. The clear glass will immediately signal how dirty your device is.

TOP 10 SMOKING PIPES

Now that we have a common understanding of just how wide the world of pipes is, we can take a look at our top 10 favourites available on the Zamnesia store.

1. SESSION GOODS GLASS PIPE

Kicking off our list is this Glass Pipe by Session Goods. Its unique and contemporary tapered design shows off a tinted borosilicate glass body. Borosilicate is a type of glass that is specifically made to withstand high temperatures, allowing you to light the pipe with a match or even a blowtorch. It is also extremely durable compared to regular glass and can withstand the occasional knock. It comes with a silicone sleeve to offer extra protection.

The Glass Pipe is minimal in design and made from one piece of glass with a bowl integrated right into the pipe. It is 96mm long and 38mm wide—perfect for those looking for a discreet hit on the go without drawing any attention.

HOW TO SMOKE A PIPE

Okay, so you’ve found your chosen pipe. Now what? You smoke, of course! Luckily, it’s not rocket science.

In general, it simply involves grinding up your weed, loading the bowl or chamber, then lighting your weed and inhaling from the mouthpiece. Depending on design, the process may vary slightly from piece to piece, but it’s all more or less the same. Certain pipes include carb holes, which allow you to control the size of your hits with more accuracy.

Some people like to light their bowls with natural hemp wick, while others use matches or a classic lighter. Avoid using a blowtorch unless your specific piece calls for it or that’s all you have, as this can scorch the weed and kill your hits.

It’s also advisable to invest in a screen for your pipe if it doesn't come with one or have one built in. Other than that, the process of smoking a pipe couldn't be easier! Familiarise yourself with our top 10 smoking pipes to find the perfect one for you!
