As a smoker, there are many options available to you when it comes to choosing a pipe. You may choose glass smoking pipes, metal pipes or some form of incognito pipe. An incognito smoking pipe is made from a material that isn't as easily recognizable, such as a section of pipe or plastic. Glass smoking pipes are the kind that are most widely used, and are generally considered to have certain benefits over other materials.
Glass pipes do not leave any sort of after taste when herbs are heated inside, and do not give off fumes like other materials. Many smokers also like the fact that they can see inside the chamber and will always know how much they're getting, or how much is left inside the chamber at any given time. Glass pipes are also advantageous because they do not heat up as quickly as a metal pipe, and they won't become quite as hot when they do heat up. Many smokers also claim that the vapor produced from a glass pipe tastes better than with other pipes, similarly to how some people enjoy beer more from a bottle than from a can.
The taste, lower heat intensity and ability to see the smoke inside the chamber are the main benefits, but they aren't the only ones. Glass pipes can also be made into a wide variety of shapes, colors and designs, adding to the artistic element. For many people, the artistic value of the pipe is almost as important as the material the pipe is made from. You can search for and find a glass smoking pipe that has tiny pictures or designs that match your personality. In many cases, the color of a glass pipe will become deeper and richer the more you use it. Looking through different shops or catalogues should lead you to glass smoking pipes with designs and colors that are an extension of your own personality, if the artistic part of the equation appeals to you.
One downfall is how fragile they are when compared to other styles of pipes. Glass pipes chip and break much easier than metal pipes, and are typically in one piece, making cleaning more of a challenge. When you seek out glass smoking pipes, look for ones with thicker glass, which means they'll be more durable. Thicker glass may cost a little more, but you'll still get all of the benefits of glass, minus many of the disadvantages associated with their fragile nature.
Whether you choose a smaller or larger smoking pipe is completely a matter of personal preference. Using smaller ones will make the smoke taste fresher, but a larger pipe requires less cleaning and will usually have the desired effect sooner. If you do choose a glass smoking pipe, look for one that appeals to you visually and try to find one that is thick enough not to break and chip too easily.
