Whenever I think about smoking, I visualize myself with different types of glass pipes. This situation is common with most of the users because glass smoking pipes have become extremely popular among classy tobacco smokers. The main reason for this popularity is easy availability of glass pipes and creative options to choose from. These pipes are widely used in all corners of the world. Moreover, glass manufacturers offer unique pipes that come in variety of shapes, structures, sizes and shades.

History:

The use of glass vessel dates back to the Mesopotamian and Egyptian civilization (around 1500 BC) when these glass pipes were used in Cairo. The tools manufactured in that period were made up of mixed glass that is glass casted with ashes, sand, lime and clay or dung. They were molded into a structure and after they were cooled down, the core was dug out to leave the glass pipe intact.

Popular Choices:

The inside-out glass pipes are widely used tools in the present time. They’re made with decorative, colorful Pyrex glass pieces that reflect a 3D pattern when seen from a distant spot. Though they are simple structure yet, designing these pieces require skill, labor and great patience because glass blowers have to layer the glass pieces quite carefully.

Tips for using:

These glass pipes get dirty very easily because they’re filled with residues. In case you want to use them frequently, you should blow out the ashes after using them or, clear them with the help of a toothpick. You can even use a sleek pipe cleaner for cleaning the insides. These cleaners are available at smoking shops only.

Maintenance and repair:

If you possess an expensive smoking pipe, it is highly recommended that you pick a case for preserving it. If possible, keep it safely and use it on rare occasions only. Also, make sure it is kept away from the reach of pets and kids.

Simply put the cracked part over a stove or burner and let it heat up. Once glass starts melting, the splits will immediately disappear.

Sun, 01 Jan 2012 21:36:00 -0800 Common Benefits Of Using Metal Smoking Pipes http://barclaybaker.posterous.com/common-benefits-of-using-metal-smoking-pipes http://barclaybaker.posterous.com/common-benefits-of-using-metal-smoking-pipes

Often, chain smokers prefer to use metal smoking pipes over other smoking tools because they’re tough and difficult to break. Additionally, they’re excellent options for those people who wish to invest a smaller sum in purchasing these tools. These pipes can be made up of different materials and alloys including stainless steel, aluminum and brass.

In this article, we will discuss about the benefits of using metal smoking pipes,

First of all, purchasing metal smoking pipes is quite easy for any person. They’re available at online stores, gift shops, malls, supermarkets and local retail outlets. You can find them without putting in much effort. There are different sizes and shapes available, therefore you can select a pipe that suits your personality or other requirements and preferences.

Another contribution of metal pipes is that the metal tubes can be extended in length. They can easily be altered by installing extension pieces that are available at head shops or other recognized outlets that deal in smoking equipment. These tubes are incorporated with circular rubber rings which make them secure and airtight. Additionally, if you wish to prevent the entry of ash when you inhale smoke, you can get a metallic screen installed inside your pipes. There are provisions for adding rings and screens in any metal tube, even if it is not manufactured with these parts. Our metal pipes come with a pack of four screens for free.

It is easy to clean simple metal smoking pipes, compared to other complicated tools like bubblers. You simply need to dismantle the parts and soak them in warm water overnight. Some smokers use alcohol for cleaning it or any other cleaning agents. Also, they come at varying prices, ranging from $15 to $500, (depends upon the type of metal being used for manufacturing it). Connoisseurs generally prefer silver or any other expensive metal as a material for their pipes.

Shopping tips for starters:

In case you’re purchasing a metal smoking pipe for the first time, you should ensure that the tube selected by you is neither too large nor too compact for you, and the same goes for the size! These pipes take longer time to cool down, so purchasing a pipe with a tube that is too small will burn your lips and you’ll end up inhaling ash. Likewise, investing in a long pipe is worthless unless you’ve plenty of patience to wait for the contents to heat up. So, you must buy a good-sized pipe. Better check out a purchaser’s guide before acquiring these possessions.

Structure:

In case you’re not familiar with the structure of glass bubblers, you can picture them as a small sized hookah pipe or bong. They have a slender stem that runs down and connects to a round, bubble shaped glass container or a bowl hence this smoking tool has been named as a bubbler.

Moreover, there’s a single, narrow outlet for the smoke to flow out. They’re larger than standard glass pipes and smaller when compared to water pipes. The rising smoke is chilly because it is cooled below the normal temperature for inhalation.

Benefits:

The main reason behind using glass bubblers is transparency and availability of several creative designs.

These smoking tools are quite handy (you can hold them in one hand) and they’re easier to clean as you can view the dirty spots without much efforts so it is simpler to manage them.

The best thing about these smoking structures is that they’re compact and portable. Also, unlike conventional hookah smoking pipes, they don’t produce unwanted noise. Lastly, the cooling mechanism prevents them from getting heated up!
