      Glass Pipes: Spoons, Sherlocks, Steamrollers, One-Hitters & Heady Pipes

      A glass pipe, also called a hand pipe or spoon, is the simplest way to smoke flower: a borosilicate glass bowl connected to a mouthpiece, with a carb hole on the side to control airflow. There is no water, so a glass pipe is small, fast to use and easy to carry. Angies Boutique carries everyday pipes from GRAV, MJ Arsenal, Cookies, Illadelph and Human Grade, sculpted pipes from Empire Glassworks, novelty pipes from Hemper and BigFun!, and handmade pieces from artists like Liberty 503 and HOOBS. Looking for silicone, wood or metal? See all Hand Pipes.

      How does a glass pipe work?

      Pack ground flower into the bowl, cover the carb hole with a finger, light the bowl while you inhale, then uncover the carb to pull the remaining smoke out of the chamber. The carb hole is what makes a hand pipe work like a small bong: covering it builds the hit, and releasing it clears it. Pipes without a carb, like many sherlocks and one-hitters, are cleared by inhaling a little longer.

      Glass pipes are made from borosilicate, the same heat-resistant glass used in labs. Thicker glass is heavier and more durable; thinner glass is lighter and cheaper. Because there is no water, the hit is warmer than a bubbler or bong, and the flavor of the flower comes through clearly.


      What types of glass pipes are there?

      Heady and artist pipes

      Heady pipes are handmade by working glassblowers, and each one is unique: Liberty 503's deep sandblasted pipes, the HOOBS Porsche 356 Speedster and character spoons from Jedi Glassworks and Chameleon Glass. When a heady pipe sells, that exact piece is gone. See Heady Glass.

      How do I clean a glass pipe?

      Drop the pipe in a zip bag or jar with 91% or higher isopropyl alcohol and a spoon of coarse salt, shake for a minute, let it soak if the resin is heavy, then rinse with warm water, never boiling. Cleaners like Formula 420 do the same job faster. Use a gentle cleaner on sculpted, fumed or color-changing glass, and clean often: a quick soak every few sessions is much easier than scraping old resin. Supplies are in Cleaning Supplies, and a good grinder keeps the bowl packing evenly.


      What else should I look at?

      If you want water filtration in a hand-held piece, see Bubblers; for full-size water pipes, see Bongs. For drop-proof options, see Silicone Pipes. Shop by maker in GRAV, MJ Arsenal, Hemper, BigFun! and Cookies, or find more handmade work in Local Glass Artists.


      What should I know before buying a glass pipe?

      Glass pipes are for flower, not concentrates; for dabs, see Dab Pipes & Mini Rigs. Size changes the hit: small pipes are hotter and quicker, longer pipes cool the smoke more. Sculpted pipes are fragile in different places: raised details on Empire and novelty pipes can chip if dropped, so store them in a soft case. Heady pieces vary and the piece pictured is the piece you get. Sold to adults 21+.

      Frequently Asked Questions about Glass Pipes

      Glass gives the cleanest flavor and the widest range of styles and art, and it is easy to see when it needs cleaning, but it can break if dropped. Silicone is nearly unbreakable, wood and metal are durable and classic. Angies Boutique carries all of them on the Hand Pipes page; this page is glass only.
      The carb hole controls airflow. Cover it with a finger while you light the bowl and inhale to build the hit, then uncover it to pull the remaining smoke out of the chamber. Without a carb, smoke lingers in the pipe; with one, you clear it in a single pull.
      A spoon is a straight pipe with the bowl on top and a side carb. A sherlock has a curved neck that hangs the bowl below the mouthpiece, so it rests in the hand and hits gently. A steamroller is a straight tube with an open carb at the far end, so it fills fast and hits hard.
      A chillum or one-hitter is a small straight pipe that holds a single hit. One-hitters are discreet, easy to carry and easy on your supply. The GRAV Upline Taster, GRAV Octo-Taster and Cookies Pocket Hitter are one-hitters at Angies Boutique.
      A glass blunt is a glass tube that holds about a blunt's worth of flower, with a plunger you push forward to move the ash out as you smoke. It smokes like a blunt without rolling papers. A spoon pipe holds a smaller bowl that you pack and light between hits.
      Empire Glassworks pipes are fully functional borosilicate glass pipes. The sculpted scenes, animals and food are built onto a working bowl, carb and mouthpiece. Raised details can chip if the pipe is dropped, so store sculpted pipes in a soft case and clean them with a gentle glass cleaner.
      For a first pipe or daily use, a 4 inch spoon like the GRAV Classic Spoon is the easiest size to pack and clean. Smaller pipes are more pocketable but hit hotter, while longer pipes give the smoke more time to cool. For single hits on the go, choose a one-hitter.
      Put the pipe in a zip bag or jar with 91 percent or higher isopropyl alcohol and a spoon of coarse salt, shake for a minute, let it soak if the resin is heavy, then rinse with warm water, never boiling. Glass cleaners like Formula 420 work faster. Use a gentle cleaner on sculpted, fumed or color-changing glass.
      Clean it often, before the resin hardens: a short soak every few sessions is easier than scraping old buildup. Use a grinder so the bowl packs evenly and burns cleanly, and avoid packing the bowl too tightly. Thicker glass and longer pipes also stay cleaner than very small pipes.
