In order to know what choice best suits you, it is best to know a thing or two about the key differences between certain type of glass pipes. Firstly, you are most likely already familiar with the spoon pipe. The spoon pipe has a long handle with a bulbous bowl on its end. These hand pipes often have clever designs and colors, which make them a good purchase for someone who cherishes artistic products.

Another kind of glass pipe you will come across is called a steamroller. steamroller differ from spoon pipes in a couple ways. The most distinct difference is their shape. Instead of having a bulbous bowl for dry herbs, steamrollers have a completely straight shape. Furthermore, the carb is located in a different location for steam rollers. For spoon pipes, the carb is located on the side of the bulbous dry herb bowl. However, the carb for steamrollers is located on the opposite end of the mouthpiece. To give you a better visual, a steamroller looks like a glass tube with a hole on each end. On of the holes is the mouthpiece, while the other hole is the carb. On the end where the carb is located, there is a dry herb bowl perpendicular to the carb. Steamrollers can vary greatly in size. There are steamrollers as long as a foot, ones that are only a couple inches, and everything in between. If you are thinking about getting a really small steamroller, you should consider another kind of hand pipe: the chillum.
A chillum look similar to a steamroller in that it also is completely straight. However, the engineering of the chillum is even more basic. While a steam roller has a carb, a chillum does not. Also setting them apart from steamrollers is their lack of variation in size. You will seldom come across a chillum that is larger than a few inches. This is what makes them a perfect piece for those who want a very portable and discreet hand pipe. Though these are a simple form of hand pipe, there is a surprising amount of variation in design and material. Some of them can be made out of wood or glass or acrylic. Many times they will have a decal or pattern of sorts to spice up the visual. If you are somebody looking for a simple, effective, and discreet hand pipe, head over to our chilluim collection. You will be well served.
If you want a hand pipe that is discreet and effective, but has a bit more complex engineering and functionality, take a look at a glass blunt. Much like a chillum, glass blunts are small in size. You will rarely come across a glass blunt that is larger than your average chillum. Unlike most other types of hand pipes, which have competing brands, there are two brands that has mastered the glass blunt The Grav Labs glass blunt is one of the best glass blunts on the market. It incorporates a slide, which lets you push out the ash as you light the end. On the other hand, the 7Pipe glass blunt uses a screw mechanism that you can twist. The twisting motion also pushes out the ash remnants, pushing dry herbs to the end so you can light it.
