Spoon pipes are instantly recognizable for their unique shape, with a round bowl, a neck, a mouthpiece, and a carburetor to control airflow. Spoon pipes are typically made from glass or silicone and come in a variety of colors and price points. And 99% of spoon pipes stop there. But for Freeze Pipe, the fun is just getting started.

Freeze Pipe’s array of glass spoon pipes all use a freezable glycerin chamber that cools smoke by over 300 degrees. No longer do you have to endure harsh smoke, burning throats, or coughing attacks. With a quick one-hour freeze, you’ll swear this pipe has water filtration.

What Is Glycerin?

Glycerin is a non-toxic fatty gel commonly found in food and sweeteners. It freezes quicker than water and stays frozen longer. It also doesn't expand and contract like water does, so there's no added pressure on the glass. Pop this baby in the freezer for one hour, and it'll stay cold for you and your friends to get where you want to go.

Buying a new spoon pipe is a lot of fun. You want a piece that has a good bowl design and is easy to clean. Freeze Pipe’s hand pipe, for example, has a removable bowl, so you don’t have to bang it on the table every time you’re ready to reload.

Here’s what to look for when buying your next pipe.

Size

While there's no water filtration, larger pipes will hit better than smaller ones, as the more distance you can put between a hot flame and inhaling, the better. Larger glass spoon pipes also have bigger bowls, so you can spend more time smoking and less time packing.

Made with Borosilicate Glass

While spoon pipes can be made of silicone, stone, metal, or even wood, the best material is borosilicate glass. This type of glass is sturdy, heat-resistant, and does not produce a funky aftertaste — all of which can’t be said for the other materials listed.

Brand

Pipe brands like GRAV, Marley Natural, Ooze, and others all make great stuff. With that said, for the smoothest and coldest spoon pipe, it's gotta be a Freeze Pipe.

Color

There are some wild spoon pipe designs out there. Do you put aesthetic over performance? If so, a head pipe might be better suited for your needs. If portability is your number one concern, then going for a smaller pipe, or perhaps even a silicone one is your best bet.

Start by grinding your weed and placing it in a bowl. Always grind your weed, as it promotes an even burn, reduces butane consumption, and makes washing much easier. Place your thumb over the carb hole, ignite the herb, and inhale.

Smoke will start to accumulate. Once a sufficient amount has been reached, remove your thumb from the carb hole, and smoke will rush from the pipe and into your system. With a regular glass spoon pipe, said smoke will be scorching hot, leading to burnt throats and coughing attacks.

In contrast, when you use a freezable piece from Freeze Pipe, you'll notice larger clouds without any of the afterburn or water chugging.

FAQs

What glass is the best material for making spoon pipes?

Borosilicate glass is the best material for pipe smoking. It's the same type of glass used in laboratories and has everything you want from a smoking device: it’s durable, heat resistant, and doesn’t leave a funky aftertaste. With a glass spoon pipe, you can taste each nuance in your strain.

Silicone spoon pipes may have the upper hand in durability, but you run serious health risks if the silicone isn't made with the right material. Metal pipes aren't a great option either, as they aren't heat resistant and leave an unsettling metallic aftertaste.

How to Clean A Spoon Pipe?

Yet another reason why glass spoon pipes are the best way to smoke weed is that they can be cleaned with just about any conventional cleaning method or solution. Whether store-bought cleaner or a homemade isopropyl alcohol and sea salt mixture, it all works. Cleaning one of our glass glycerin pipes is no different.

Note we suggest cleaning your pipe at least once a month for health reasons and to prevent resin buildup.

• Remove any bowls or extra parts and set them off to the side.
• Place the glass spoon pipe in a plastic bag and fill the bag with a cleaning solution. The goal is to add enough solution so the pipe is partly submerged.
• Let the solution soak in the pipe for 5 – 10 minutes.
• Tilt the bag so the solution runs back-and-forth from each end of the pipe.
• Rinse thoroughly with warm water and let dry before using or place back in the freezer.

Best Practices for Smoking Spoon Pipes

Smoking different types of weed pipes will have varying experiences, especially if your glass spoon pipe doesn’t have a glycerin chamber. Nevertheless, you can do a few important things to ANY hand pipe that’ll improve your journey.

Grind the weed

Grinding your weed is the best thing you can do to have a great glass pipe smoking experience.

Understand the carb hole

Knowing your limits and how big of puffs you like to take is essential. Learning how to use a carb cap and how much marijuana you’re consuming will pay huge dividends.

Clean your hand pipe at least once a month

While spoon bowls don’t need to be cleaned as much as bongs, having a clean pipe is still important. Plus, cleaning glass spoon pipes is considerably easier and quicker than cleaning larger bongs or even bubblers.

Light weed with hemp rope

Similar to why you should always grind your weed, using hemp rope to ignite cannabis allows the user to consume less butane and burns marijuana at a lower temperature. This lower-temperature ignition burns away less THC, so you get more bang for your buck with every puff.

How Does Smoking A Spoon Pipe Compare to Other Methods Of Consuming Cannabis?

Smoking marijuana from a spoon pipe offers a couple of advantages over bubblers and bongs. The biggest benefit is they’re quick and easy to use. With hand pipes, you don’t have to worry about changing dirty bong water, and it can usually get longer between cleaning sessions. There’s no stress from broken/clogged percolators, and spoon bowls are ready to smoke when you are.

The smaller size of glass spoon pipes also provides portability and privacy advantages. The disadvantage is they aren’t as smooth as glass pieces with water filtration. Water filtration not only helps remove irritants from smoke but also adds a natural cooling effect. With water bongs, the upkeep is more, but the experience is better.

Choosing between smoking a spoon pipe and a water bong comes down to location, budget, and goal.
