Pipe Materials

Types of Pipes
One-Hitters
These are cylindrical tubes that allow you to pack cannabis into one end and are used like a cigarette. Usually, they hold enough cannabis for one puff or hit, hence the name. One-hitters are usually paired with a “dugout” which is a case for your one-hitter and a few grams of ground cannabis.
Chillum
These are unique types of smoking pipes that are only comprised of a straight shape and a conical interior. The straight shape of chillums has been preserved for centuries. While chillums resemble one-hitter pipes, they are different in that they hold much more weed.
Glass Blunts
These are environmentally friendly alternatives to blunts and joint wraps. Glass blunts are made from a glass cylinder with one open end and a mouthpiece on the other. The mouthpiece is usually attached to an auger that is used to dump out the ash from your burnt cannabis.
Spoon Pipes
These pipes are made from glass and have a resemblance to a spoon. Spoon pipes can come in various colours and patterns, or even with elaborate designs in a variety of sizes. These pipes tend to be sturdy and easily cleaned.
