A metal pipe is any smoking pipe made from a metallic material. Commonly used metals include aluminum, stainless steel, and brass.
Metal pipes for smoking tobacco come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. You can opt for a basic straight-tube pipe, or something that more closely resembles the shape of a classic smoker’s pipe.
Or go for something a little different. If you’re looking for stealth, there are an assortment of metal pipes camouflaged as a common cigarette. These are often included as part of a dugout system, which features a small carrying case designed to conceal your pipe.
There are quite a few benefits to metal pipes. They can be quite affordable, with cheap metal pipes priced at only a few bucks.
These savings can be seriously compounded for those who aren’t too good with glassware. In comparison to their glass cousins, metal pipes are virtually indestructible.
Because metal is a strong conductor of heat, metal pipes can get quite toasty. You need to exercise a little bit of extra caution when working with them.
To help handle the heat, many metal pipes incorporate silicone or rubber mouthpieces or surfaces for handling.
For the most part, you can clean a metal pipe just like you would a glass one. Actually, because metal is much tougher than glass, you can get even more vigorous with scraping and scrubbing your metal pipe.
Be sure to remove any rubber or silicone mouthpieces or fittings before cleaning your metal pipe.
Q-Tips and pipe cleaners work well for routine cleaning. If something is particularly stubbornly stuck, you can use a small metal implement like a paperclip, wire, or pipe poker to scrape it out.
For a deep clean, soak your metal pipe in isopropyl rubbing alcohol. That should dislodge anything stuck in there. You can also run hot water through the pipe to help keep things clean.
