Water Pipes: Everything You Need to Know About

Water pipes are a great way to get the most out of your smoking experience. They are increasingly popular in states where marijuana is legal, but they have begun being used for other things too. Moreover, they can be found at many smoke shops and head shops, or you can make one yourself if you want.

These pipes are used to cool the smoke that comes from burning marijuana. They are sometimes called water bongs, but they can also be referred to as bubblers or steamrollers – which is why you may see them listed under several different names at your local head shop.

They come in an array of different sizes, shapes, and materials. They can be made of glass or metal, for example. There are many kinds of water pipes to choose from, which means it is important that you know what they are all about before making a purchase – this way, you make the right choice when looking at your options!

Different Types of Water Pipes

 

1. Chillums

A chillum is a straight tube pipe that has no carb hole. This means that the smoke must be inhaled quickly to prevent it from being stale because there are no bubbles for gathering fresh air. They can also get very hot because they lack any perforations or cooling mechanisms – so don’t touch them after you use them!

You must clean a chillum regularly because it can cause a buildup of tar and resin. The best thing about the chillum is its simplicity. It’s also very easy to maintain, which makes it great for travel!

2. Glass on Glass

Glass on glass is similar to a chillum in terms of how it works. However, they do have percolators and carb holes, which means you can get better smoke quality than with simple chillums. They also tend to be longer, so there’s more room for water – this makes them perfect if you want something small but still want to see what you are doing!

3. Beaker Bongs

Beakers have a rounder base and tend to be short. They usually come with two different tube pieces: one for inhaling through, and the other is used as an ash catcher (which catches excess resin that falls into it during use). This pipe has more water than any of the others mentioned here, making them perfect if you want to get crazy with the bong rips!

4. Bubblers

Bubblers are stylish and can be made of glass or metal. They resemble a miniature version of the bongs that you see in movies with vapor cooling and percolators included! The bubbler is like any other water pipe.

However, it has some added benefits, such as being smaller than most options, making them ideal for portability. Their added water filtration sets them apart from other glass water pipes, making them suitable for beginners!

5. Steamrollers

Steamrollers are similar to chillums in size and shape, but they have a bowl piece on one end. This is another simple pipe that can get the job done well for those who like short little hits – otherwise, you will need to take your time with this if it’s your first time using one!
