What is a Glass Chillum (One Hitter)

Chillums are essentially thick glass pipes made for smoking dry herbs like weed. These pipes contain a tiny bowl which users can pick with a wide range of herbs. Alternatively, they can also use the bowl for holding an entire cigarette. The bigger the chillum you have, the colder its smoke will be, which is a major reason why most people choose for large chillums.

Why Use a Chillum?

Portable

Airport security tends to be incredibly tight in most places, which is why flying with cannabis would not be a wise choice; even it is legal for personal consumption in your destination and departure state. It would be best to ignore anyone who gives you advice on how to travel with weed. Remember, cannabis is a schedule one drug, which means that taking it across the state lines is illegal.

On the other hand, chillums are basically glass pipes and you can carry them around wherever you please without worrying about any repercussions.

Fast Use

Chillums are incredibly convenient to use and setting them up does not take too much time. All you need to do is choose your preferred herb, grind it, fill it inside the chillum and light it up. Remember, if you are lighting up a glass chillum, it could become too hot to handle, which is why it would be ideal to be careful. Once you light the chillum up, you can go ahead and smoke your favorite herb.

Discreet

Chillums are quite commonly used across the globe and they have been around for over sixty years. That said, many people still don’t know what they look like or what they even are. If you are a smokers who prefers being discreet, using a glass chillum would be a fantastic option.

How to Use a One Hitter?

Packing a one hitter is relatively straightforward. Start by tearing or grinding up the herb of your choice and pack it tight. Without a filter’s protection, loosely packed bowls can produce a great deal of debris. Therefore, packing it tight will stops it from entering your mouth while you are hitting the chillum.

While one hitter chillums don’t usually come with filters, some people use chillum stones. These stones are essentially pebbles found on the ground. That said, some modern one hitter chillums have their one special stone. More often than not, this stone is placed inside the bowl and helps filter the dust and debris that would move inside the smoke chamber otherwise.

Here are some handy tips to help you use the one hitter chillum the right way:

• Start by grinding the tobacco or herb
• Gather the herb and carefully place it in the bowl area
• Pack it tight
• Repeat the previous two steps until you fill the bowl

Different Types of Chillums

One Hitter

Tasting pipes is another name people commonly use when referring to one hitters. These are typically quite small in length as well as diameter. What’s more, the typically get your around one to three hits in total, depending on how hard you inhale and the pack you are using. This pipe shares a resemblance with regular chillums, especially because they are made for a single hit.

One hitter pipes are either made out of glass or wood. Pipes made out of glass produce a smooth taste compared to wooden pipes. This is mainly because the latter imparts wooden scents, which many people do not like.

Dugouts

Many believe that dugout pipes were made by a smoker who had an aversion to moving his product and pipe separately. This is why he came up with a convenient way to carry them in the form of dugout pipes. These pipes are quite similar to lighters because of its tiny rectangle case.

It has spaces for storing the herb and the one hitter pipe. The convenience offered by this pipe is a massive reason why it is preferred by thousands, if not millions of smokers.

Chillum vs. Glass Blunt

While glass blunts have several pros, Chillums are way ahead of them for the following reasons.

• They are bigger and easy to customize
• Their durability is much better than glass blunts
• Chillums are quite discreet
• Chillums have been around for a longer period than glass blunts

Chillums vs. Hand Pipes

As mentioned earlier, chillums tend to be more durable compared to hand pipes, mainly because of their smaller size. Often times, manufacturers use thick glass to make chillums and design them in a way that prevents them from having enough open space. Of course, this can result in fractures if the glass is not handled properly.

Hand pipes, on the other hand, are more durable than chillums but chillums are far better when it comes to discretion, flavor and smoke quality.
