Chillums are perhaps the simplest type of smoking pipe. Designed for small bowls, portability, and personal smoking, a chillum is little more than a hollow tube.
At one end of a chillum is a small bowl, at the other a mouthpiece. Made from glass, stone, or ceramic materials, the chillum is a favorite among smokers who prefer just a few little puffs to a massive bong rip.

No matter how you prefer to smoke your herb, the chillum can win a place in anyone’s arsenal of smoking equipment.
If you’re just looking for a quick little bowl to smoke to yourself, it’s hard to beat the simplicity and convenience of a chillum.
Need something you can smoke on the go without lugging around a hefty pipe? A chillum is small and lightweight enough to easily disappear into your pocket after you’re done smoking.
How to Use a Glass Chillum
Using a chillum couldn’t be simpler. All you need to do is chop or grind your smoking material into a loose bundle, pack it into the bowl, light it up, and inhale!
Due to their small size, a chillum won’t cool your smoke as effectively as a spoon pipe or water pipe might. Be careful when lighting and inhaling! Use a gentle flame to light the bowl and inhale slowly and steadily.
How to Pack a Chillum
Because chillum’s have pretty small bowls, you need to be careful not to clog them. Make sure your bundle of herb is well prepared before stuffing the bowl. It should be loose and airy, but not so tiny that it will readily pass into the chamber and clog the bowl.
Chillums are typically used without a screen, which means there is nothing to block chunks of plant material from clogging the bowl.
Sometimes it’s a good idea to put a medium-sized piece of herb at the bottom of your bowl to act as a sort of disposable screen. This will help keep the looser, smaller material from making its way into the chamber.
Difference Between One Hitters, Tasters, and Chillums
In many cases, the terms “one hitter,” “taster,” and “chillum” are used interchangeably.
While larger chillums can certainly hold more than a single hit, anything geared towards small bowls for personal smoking can be referred to as a “one hitter.”
A key difference comes in the material. Where one hitters are often metal “bat-style” pipes, chillums tend to be made from glass or ceramic.
This is where the term “taster” comes in. A taster is a glass chillum, designed to offer a simple way to sample the flavor of your herb. A clean taster pipe offers a delicious portrait of your herb’s true aroma.
