Types of Water-Chamber Glass Pipes For A Smooth Smoking Experience

Different types of material can be used to manufacture smoking pipes for marijuana. However, glass is the most used material to manufacture smoking pipes these days. Glass pipes do not change the taste or smell of the marijuana smoke because this material does not release fumes after being heated. The glass starts to become malleable at 1700 degree Celsius. Smoking pipes made of glass are never going to reach this temperature. Thus, it releases no fumes capable of altering the taste and smell of the marijuana. Glass is used for manufacturing most smoking pipes due to this reason.

It is also possible to manufacture these glass pipes in different shapes once this material becomes malleable at 1700°C. Currently it is possible to mold the glass into different shapes. Therefore, you may find many different types of glass pipes to smoke marijuana. Some of these pipes may be built with a chamber at the base to carry water, and some of them are built without any water chambers. Therefore, glass can be used to manufacture both dry pipes and water pipes. There are two types of glass pipes which are built with water chambers: bubblers and bongs. The base and neck of these glass bongs are molded in different shapes. The base of the bong may be tubular, spherical or conical in shape.

Most bongs are built with a straight neck. However, some bongs are built with a neck that is zigzag in shape. The smoke has to move through the zigzag neck for a longer period of time before reaching the mouthpiece. Thus, it receives more time to lose the heat and becomes cooler. Some bongs are built with two chambers which are built on top of one another. These chambers remain connected by one or more tubes. This type of glass pipe is known as the recycler bong. The lower chamber in these recycler bongs holds the water. When you take a hit, the water that is filled with smoke is pulled to the upper chamber. Thus, the smoke moves multiple times through both chambers and lose more heat and harshness. Recycler bongs release cooler and smoother smoke due to this reason.

Bubbler pipes are made of glass with some of having multiple chambers. Bubblers with multiple chambers produce cooler smoke than bubblers with a single chamber. The shape of the water-chamber varies from one bubbler to another.

Some bubblers are built with a pot shaped water-chamber while the water-chamber of some bubblers look like the head of a hammer. These glass pipes are not usually built with smoking accessories. However, a few are built with a glycerin coil for additional cooling. For more information visit here: Tank Glass
