Different Types of Smoking Pipes Being Used Through The Ages

Different types of smoking pipes have been used for ages around the world in order to smoke cannabis, tobacco, or dried leaves from flowers or other psychedelic herbs. Many archeologists have found ancient pipes in tombs (used to bury people from yesteryears) or from other places. In years past, pipes were used for smoking during ceremonies. The design and materials used for manufacturing smoking pipes has changed over the years.

Wood, bamboo, stone, and clay was used to manufacture pipes in ancient years. However, they are not the only materials used for manufacturing smoking pipes today. With an advancement in technology and the invention of different types of materials, smoking pipes are being manufactured using glass, ceramic, silicone, and other non-organic materials. These materials are being used to manufacture both dry pipes and water pipes. Psychedelic herbs, tobacco, and cannabis can be enjoyed using both dry smoking pipes and water pipes. Dry smoking pipes are smaller in comparison to water pipes and can easily be carried around using a small pouch, or inside a pocket.

Some smoking pipes are built with a small chamber which is used to contain the water. This chamber is built within the pipe in such a manner that the smoke of burnt tobacco leaves, cannabis leaves, or flowers can easily pass through the water. This variant of smoking pipe is known as the water pipe. The smoke becomes cooler after passing through the water and it feels smoother when taking a hit. Thus, some people believe that the smoking experience improves when water pipes are being used to smoke marijuana.

However, some people prefer dry pipes over a water pipe, since the smoke of burnt marijuana becomes lighter after passing through the water. Many users of marijuana or tobacco prefer the harshness of dry smoke. The users of cannabis also believe that the water may absorb some of the THC that is produced when marijuana leaves or flowers are being burnt. Therefore, some users believe that they can quickly get a high using a dry smoking pipe.

Dry smoking pipes and water pipes are both available in different sizes and shapes. Therefore, you have the liberty to choose a smoking pipe depending upon your changing needs. For example, a chillum, or a one-hitter, is ideal for smoking a small quantity of weed, or for a quick fix. A spoon-shaped smoking pipe or a blunt can hold more weed than a one-hitter or a chillum. The ‘Blunt’ is a special type of smoking pipe that holds extra weed to be used later, along with smoking now. Water-pipes are also available in varying sizes. Bubblers are smaller than Bongs and are more portable due to this reason. However, there are ‘mini’ bongs for personal use or to carry on trips. For more information visit here: Tank Glass
