What is heady glass?

When form met function, heady glass was born. We all need a piece that gets the job done, but this special type of glass takes the smoking experience to another level. On the surface, heady glass is art. But don’t be too scared to touch it - however stunning it may look, rest assured it’s made to be used.

In short, “heady glass” pieces are high-quality, artistically focused, and combine functionality with awesome visuals, unique details, and wild imagination.

What makes heady glass different?

Glassblowing is an old art that’s been around for centuries - we’re talking 1 B.C. old. It’s truly an ancient craft. Over time, glassblowers have precisely honed their skills, expanding away from just blowing beads for jewelry or making glass for windows. Thus, heady glass smoking accessories were born.

Bongs, bubblers, dab rigs, and even small glass pipes can be of the heady glass variety. You’ll know as soon as you look at it, although some pieces are so finely detailed you may not even realize they’re smoke-able.

Every heady piece is a masterpiece, emphasizing functional glass design in a uniquely aesthetic way. When you hit a piece of heady glass, you’re holding an artist’s vision in your hands. These pieces typically cost more than standard pieces, but it’s easy to see why.

Heady glass features intricate, eye-catching designs. Some are of the psychedelic variety, with swirling colorful patterns that seem infinitely layered inside. Some pieces even take the form of something else entirely - you may have seen a bong that’s made to look like a mushroom, or an octopus pipe complete with eight tentacles and suction cups on each. The limit does not exist.

Where can you buy heady glass?

It’s often every smoker’s dream to own a heady piece, and it’s never been easier to do so. If you’re a smoker who takes pride in their collection, heady glass is a fun way to express yourself. It’s a proven conversation starter. Seeing the look on your friend’s face when you pull out an artistic piece makes the price tag all the more worth it. It even makes a great gift for a smoker who appreciates the finer things in life.

With so much love, care, and attention built into every creation, any heady piece is a collectible worth having. You’d be hard-pressed to find a higher-quality piece that looks and feels as cool and creative as these do. A heady piece adds fun to practicality to make smoking a more full-bodied experience. Just don’t drop it!
