1. Spoon Pipes

Spoon Pipes (like the one pictured above) are one of the most popular types of hand pipes used for smoking cannabis. They have a bowl for packing cannabis, with a carb hole for airflow at one end, and a stem at the other end for inhaling. Spoon pipes are usually made of glass, but they can also be made of wood, metal, or silicone. They are typically small and easy to carry around.

Pros:

      • Easy to use and maintain.
      • Portable and discreet.
      • Wide range of materials and designs available.
      • Affordable.

Cons:

  • Can be harsh on the throat and lungs.
  • Limited cooling and filtration of smoke.
  • Bowl size may be too small for some users.
  • Can be challenging to clean the bowl thoroughly.

2. Gandalf Pipes

Gandalf pipes are aptly named after the wizard from the Lord of the Rings, Gandalf the Grey who was always shown smoking on a long-stemmed pipe, and are distinctly characterized by those long, and thin, curved stems. They have a bowl at one end and a mouthpiece at the other. Gandalf pipes are typically made of wood, glass, or metal, and they are a good choice for those who want a unique smoking experience.

Pros:

  • Cooler temperature smoke.
  • Unique design.
  • Easy to use.

Cons:

  • Size.
  • Fragile.
  • Harsher hits.
  • Hard to clean.

3. Sherlock Pipes

Sherlock Pipes are named after the famous fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes, who is often depicted smoking a tobacco pipe. These pipes, much like the tobacco pipe counterpart, have a curved stem that leads up to the bowl, which is typically larger than the bowl on a spoon pipe. Sherlock pipes are available in a variety of materials, including glass, wood, and metal.

Pros:

  • Unique and stylish design.
  • Can be used with screens for easy cleaning.
  • Comfortable to hold.

Cons:

  • Limited cooling and filtration of smoke.
  • Hard to clean.
  • Bowl size may be too small for some users.
  • Can be expensive.

4. Chillums

Chillums are straight pipes that have been used for smoking cannabis for centuries. They were originally made of clay, but today, they are typically made of glass or stone. Chillums are small and easy to carry around, but they don't have a carb hole like a spoon pipe, so they can be harsher on the lungs.

Pros:

  • Portable and discreet.
  • Can be used with or without a screen.
  • Simple design and easy to use.
  • Affordable.

Cons:

  • Limited cooling and filtration of smoke.
  • Can be harsh on the throat and lungs.
  • Bowl size may be too small for some users.
  • Can be challenging to clean the bowl thoroughly.

5. One-Hitters

One-Hitters, often returned to as a "Bat", are small hand pipes that are designed to hold just enough cannabis for one or two hits. They are typically made of metal or ceramic, and they are discreet and easy to carry around. One-hitters are a good choice for those who want to smoke cannabis without drawing attention to themselves.

Pros:

  • Portable and discreet.
  • Easy to use.
  • Can help conserve cannabis.
  • Affordable.
  • Easy to clean.

Cons:

  • Limited cooling and filtration of smoke.
  • Bowl size may be too small for some users.
  • Can be harsh on the throat and lungs.

6. Bubblers

Bubblers are essentially a cross between a spoon pipe and a water pipe. They have a small bowl for packing cannabis, a stem for inhaling, and a water chamber that cools and filters the smoke. Bubblers are available in a variety of shapes and sizes, and they are a popular choice for those who want a smoother smoking experience without the hassle of a full-sized water pipe.

Pros:

    • Provides some cooling and filtration of smoke.
    • Built-in cooling and filtration system.
    • Can be used with screens for easy cleaning.

Cons:

  • Can be challenging to clean thoroughly.
  • Can be expensive.
  • May not provide as much filtration as a larger water pipe.
