What Types of Silicone Pipes Are Available?
Silicone is such a versatile material that it's easy to create different types of silicone smoking pipes. Whether you prefer a traditional dry-smoking experience or using a water bong, there's a silicone unit that works for you:
-
Standard Pipes: These are similar in shape and function to traditional glass pipes but made entirely of silicone.
-
Bubblers: This is a silicone water pipe that uses water to cool the smoke for a smoother inhale.
-
Hand Pipes: Pipes that are compact and portable so they're easy to take everywhere
-
Hybrid Pipes: You can get the best of glass and silicone with hybrid pipes that may be mostly silicone but have a glass or metal insert.
Are Silicone Pipes Safe?
If you're new to using a silicone pipe for weed, you may wonder if it is safe. After all, putting heat on a malleable material like silicone can seem like a bad idea. Thankfully, silicone products made from high-quality, medical-grade or food-grade silicone are perfectly safe. The material has been tested to withstand high temperatures without melting or releasing harmful chemicals.
Silicone pipes are also hard to break, so you don't have to worry about cracking a glass pipe and cutting yourself. The non-stick nature of silicone pipes means that residue doesn't build up. That grime can burn in unexpected ways, creating the risk of flare-ups.
By investing in a high-quality silicone pipe for weed and keeping it clean, you can always have a safe and enjoyable experience. SMOKEA® has top-notch products that will work well for any style of smoking.
How Do You Use a Silicone Pipe?
Using a silicone pipe is simple and very similar to using a traditional glass pipe. Start by making sure the pipe is clean of any residue or dust and completely dry. Next, break down your smoking materials as you normally would for an even and smooth burn and smoke. Load your flower or smoking material into the bowl of the unit. If the bowl is detachable, feel free to remove it while you load.
Gently pack the bowl with your weed while making sure not to overpack. From there, you can use the silicone pipe or silicone water pipe the same way you would a glass pipe. Light the flower and gently inhale to draw the smoke into the main chamber of the pipe. Many silicone units are opaque and you can't see the smoke fill the pipe, so start slowly as you pull the smoke in.
There are also silicone dab pipes that can hold oil or wax melts. Many have a carb hole to help you regulate smoke intake, a nice feature to control how much you smoke.
How Do You Clean a Silicone Pipe?
One of the best features of silicone pipes is how easy it is to clean them. Many are flexible, so you can bend them to get into corners and crevices for a thorough clean. Start by removing any detachable parts, such as glass or metal inserts or accessories.
With all of your pieces separate, start with a basic rinse with warm water to remove any loose debris. If you need a deeper clean, make a solution of mild soap and water, then give your silicone pipe a quick soak and a scrub.
If your pipe has tough resin deposits, it can help to soak it in isopropyl alcohol to break down the residue. Once you've removed stubborn spots, rinse the pipe to remove all cleaners and allow it to completely dry. Depending on the shape of the pipe, you may need to use a paper towel to dry hard-to-reach spots.
Keeping a frequent cleaning schedule for your pipes will also protect the flavor of your flower. Silicone is slightly porous, so it is possible for the pipe to retain a bit of flavor from previous uses. To prevent this, don't let old smoking materials sit in the bowl of your silicone for too long after you're done.
With regular cleaning and maintenance, including clearing out the pipe after each use, you can keep your silicone pipe in optimal condition and extend its lifespan.
Are Silicone Pipes Durable?
Silicone pipes are an excellent choice for anyone who doesn't want to deal with fragile glass. Even sturdy glass pipes and water bongs can crack or shatter in the right conditions, forcing you to buy costly replacements. Silicone pipes can be dropped, packed or crushed and bounce back, making them a good option for anyone who wants a long-lasting pipe.
Food-grade or medical-grade silicone is designed to be washed, bent and twisted without losing its integrity. Having a silicone pipe for weed makes sense if you smoke on the go or take your pipe to different places.
Silicone’s heat resistant quality also adds to its durability. Your silicone pipes won't melt or warp after repeated smoking sessions. You get a consistent experience each time without having to worry about careful storage or packing. Even silicone pipes with inserts are long-lasting. If a glass or metal bowl ever gets damaged, you can replace the insert without replacing the entire pipe. This cuts down on how often you have to buy larger pieces.
Invest in Great Silicone Pipes and Enjoy Your Smoke
Your smoking experience doesn't have to stay stagnant over the years. Whether you're new to smoking or you've enjoyed cannabis for a long time, it's worth exploring the world of silicone pipes. They offer an easy and convenient way to have a pipe that won't break and is simple to take care of without sacrificing any of the things you enjoy about smoking.
