Without a doubt the single most popular style of glass pipe, Spoon Pipes can be found in just about any smoker’s arsenal of glassware.
Both the name and shape of a spoon pipe take a few cues from the silverware in your kitchen cupboards. In a spoon pipe, a wide bowl is located at one end with a chamber that gradually tapers into a mouthpiece at the other end of the pipe.
Often a carburetor is included adjacent to the bowl, giving you a bit more control over your hit. But other than this, spoon pipes are dead simple. Just load it and take a puff!
Why Buy a Spoon Pipe Online?
If you’re looking for the simplest, cheapest, and most reliable way to smoke, it’s hard to beat a classic glass spoon pipe.
Spoon pipes often serve as introductory pieces for new smokers. You can find them in a wide range of sizes and colors, opening up some great options at any spot on the price spectrum.
If you’re looking for something compact and portable for personal smoking, a small to mid-sized spoon pipe might be just the ticket. These strike a great balance between giving enough space in the chamber to adequately cool your hit while also being small enough to easily conceal in a pocket or small bag.
What to Consider when Buying a Spoon Pipe
There are a few key things to look for when picking out a new spoon pipe.
Size: The size of your pipe affects how big the bowl is and how well the pipe can cool smoke before it is inhaled. Larger pipes have bigger bowls, letting you pack more material. They also offer larger chambers, giving the smoke more space to expand and travel, creating a smoother smoking experience.
Cleaning: You’ll need to clean out your pipe regularly to keep it from getting harsh or foul-tasting. Make sure you find a pipe which has openings in the bowl, mouthpiece, and carb that can easily admit pipe cleaners or be filled with solvent to remove any buildup of tar and resin.
Durability: Look for a pipe that is constructed from a thick, resilient glass. Avoid spoon pipes with thin glass, weak points, or protruding parts that can easily be snapped off.
How to Smoke Using a Cheap Spoon Pipe
You can smoke from your spoon pipe just as you would any other pipe. It doesn’t require any special technique or preperation.
Just load your material into the bowl, cover the carb, apply your favorite heat source, and inhale! Just like that, you’re off to the races.
How to Load a Spoon Pipe
You can load your spoon pipe with a small, loosely packed bundle of your favorite dried herb material. Cut or grind the herb until it is fine and loose. Packing too tight will restrict airflow and diminish the quality of your hit, or even clog the bowl.
To help prevent clogging, you can add a small metal screen to the bottom of your bowl. This prevents larger material from being drawn into the bowl or chamber of the pipe.
How to Clean a Spoon Pipe
Be sure to regularly clean your spoon pipe! You can quickly remove built up residue with pipe cleaners or similar tools for scraping and scrubbing the interior of your pipe.
But for a complete clean, opt for a glassware cleaning solution, or use some isopropyl rubbing alcohol. Submerse your pipe and let it soak, then drain and clean thoroughly with pipe cleaners.
Be sure to rinse completely to remove all of your cleaning solution. Allow your pipe to dry and it ought to be as good as new!
