Do You Need a Dugout for a One Hitter?

One hitters can certainly be used without a dugout. You can prep your smoke and keep it in a container of some sort instead. You could also load it directly from your grinder right after you grind it. Having one does make using your one hitter an easier experience though. It keeps your pipe and herb together in one place and provides some discretion, as smaller portable dugouts can easily be hidden in a pocket or purse.

Do Dugouts Come with a One Hitter?

While there are certainly exceptions to the rule, in nearly every case, your dugout will come with a one hitter. It has become incredibly rare to see these for sale without a bat or one hitter. Some of the best ones out there, like the All-in-One Waterproof Smoking Dugout from Lighterpick, have all of this and more. The Lighterpick not only includes a one hitter, but it has plenty of space for your herb, ground or not, as well as a lighter, and more.

What Is a One Hitter Dugout Stash Box?

A stash box is part of the one hitter dugout design. In each one, there will be multiple compartments. This is because they are smoking kits designed for smoking discretion and portability and have been around for many decades. They are also compact enough to fit in your pocket. They can be made of many different materials, with artfully designed wooden dugouts like the SMOKEA® Wood Twist Top Dugout being the most popular and the most commonly seen. There are also options made out of metal and plastic. Many are also designed to have some degree of stealth or misdirection associated with them, to provide even more discretion. Twenty years ago, dugouts looked like beepers and cigarette boxes. As manufacturing abilities have grown, the ability to make them resemble just about anything other than a stash box is common. The stash box is going to be one of the larger compartments. Some dugouts will have multiple compartments, and the stash box will always be the largest one. This is because, in many larger dugouts, there will be bat storage, the actual dugout, and additional space for more herb, either ground or unground. Designs like this allow the user to clear it out and then mill some of the remaining herb in their stash box to refill them.

What is a Dugout?

Dugouts are amongst the most portable options for smoking accessories. A dugout is a carrying case for a one-hitter and a small amount of weed that are stored in small, separate, compartments. While it may not be the best option for a long smoke session, it’s a great option when you need just a little hit when you’re not at home.

However, the use of dugouts certainly doesn’t have to be limited to on-the-go. Sometimes you get home from a long day and only need one hit before getting to your chores and a dugout is a convenient way to get that one hit. It has all you need in one place with an easy swivel top for easy access.

The most simple of dugouts only have two compartments, one for your one-hitter, and another for your pre-ground cannabis flower. However, some dugouts have an included grinder. Some bigger and more advanced ones also have a compartment for a lighter or a cleaning tool such as a poker tool to keep your one-hitter clean and ready for the next time you need it.

When you open your dugout, typically the compartment for your one-hitter pipe will be spring-loaded, so be careful not to open it too fast or at an angle so your one-hitter doesn’t fall to the ground and become shattered or bent.

Most dugouts come with a one-hitter already included. However, you can use one that you already have if you’d prefer.

What Does a Dugout Look Like?

Dugouts come in lots of shapes and sizes, however, they are typically always small and discreet. Some on the outside may look similar to nicotine vapes, and some look more like small makeup-carrying cases or wallets.

There is quite a variety of dugouts to choose from. You may want a more vibrant eye-catching dugout, or a discreet metal, plastic, or wood dugout, and all are wonderful options with their own sets of pros and cons, so the choice really just depends on your personal preference.

Are Dugouts Smell-Proof?

Because one-hitters are designed to only give you precisely one hit at a time, smoking from a one-hitter will inherently produce less smell than smoking a joint, though this won’t be completely odorless. Yet, what about the dugout itself?

Many dugouts are, or at least claim to be, smell-proof. If an undetectable odor is important to you, then you should search for a dugout with a sealable lid to ensure that you’re not walking around smelling like cannabis when you don’t want to be.

However, because being smell-proof isn’t a guarantee, it may be best to carry cannabis in a separate container if it’s a major concern in your situation.

Will A Single-Hitter Dugout Get Me High?

While you probably won’t get stoned out of your mind using a dug out & one-hitter, it certainly will pack a bit of a punch. Using a dugout isn’t necessarily a good option if you’re planning on a big smoking session with friends, it’s more of an appropriate option when you’re by yourself and only need one hit before moving on with your day.

So yes, you will certainly feel the psychoactive effects of cannabis if you choose to use a dugout and one-hitter, but you probably won’t be feeling overly high, which makes using a dugout a great option for day-to-day and as-needed use.

Are Dugouts Expensive?

Dugouts come in a wide range of price points, making them a convenient option for almost everyone. You can get some simple, wooden, or plastic dugouts for a steal at under $15. However, if you want to splurge on an intricately designed dugout or simply wish to purchase larger dugouts with more features, you might have to fork up a little more money for those luxuries. Luckily, there’s certain to be an option that works for you no matter what your budget constraints may be.

How Do You Care for a Dugout?

While dugouts may be relatively easy and low-maintenance, no smoking accessory can function at its best with little to no care. Cleaning the ash off of your one-hitter is essential to ensuring a pleasant smoking experience. While you don’t need to clean your dugout all the time, aim to clean it once or twice a month depending on how often you’re using it.

It’s also important to ensure that you’re using the proper cleaning tools for your particular dugout. For example, it’s important not to use harsh chemicals on wooden dugouts, instead, you’ll have to make sure you use a food-grade cleaner that is suitable for use on wood.

What is Dugout Water?

Outside of cannabis, dugouts are man-made reservoirs to contain and store water, these are important features in areas of drought when precipitation may be scarce. Another time you might hear the word dugouts is in the context of baseball. In baseball, the dugout serves as a team’s bench and is where any extra equipment is stored for later use during the game. While these topics are not relevant to smoking products, they are an important part of how dugouts got their name in the first place.
