What Is a Spoon Pipe?
The classic spoon pipe is called that because it looks like a spoon, with a rounded end for the bowl that holds your dry herb material. The long stem is narrow and shaped like the handle of a spoon, giving you plenty of space to grip it without burning your fingers and cooling the smoke before it reaches your lips.
This is a dry pipe, meaning it has no water inside to cool the smoke as a bong or bubbler does. This also makes it easier to travel with, since there's no need to empty and refill it with water.
Types of Spoon Pipes
There are two main ways to categorize the spoon pipes we sell. You can sort them by material, including popular options like silicone and wood, or by design style.
By Material
Glass hand pipes are among our most popular spoon-shaped designs. Glass offers a clean flavor, plenty of style options for visual variety, and easy cleaning.
Pipes made of nontoxic, heat-resistant silicone are durable and much harder to break than glass. Silicone is a travel-friendly option you can adapt to fit your busy lifestyle.
If you're more into natural or rustic materials, don't forget about wood and metal pipes. Metal is tougher than glass but just as easy to clean, while wood looks great and can handle tobacco as well as other herbal products with ease.
By Style
Fumed glass makes for an interesting glass pipe that changes with each use, the colors becoming more vibrant as resins build up inside the spoon-shaped device. Other heady designs of metal and wood provide an artistic, handcrafted look without the need to learn to whittle yourself. Or consider a pipe like the Pulsar Grove design, with a classic spoon shape marrying a rich wood neckpiece and a clean-tasting glass bowl.
How To Use a Spoon Pipe
Using a spoon pipe is an easy, beginner-friendly process. Simply:
- Pack the bowl of the spoon pipe loosely with shredded or ground-up herbal material, ensuring a consistent and even airflow
- Cover the carb hole with your finger
- Light one corner of the bowl and inhale gently
- Release the carb hole at the end of your inhalation to fully clear the smoke.

FAQs
How do you use a spoon pipe?
To use your new spoon pipe, begin by packing the ground herb loosely into the bowl. Cover the carb hole with your finger. Apply flame to the material from a corner while inhaling through the mouthpiece. Release your finger from the carb near the end of the inhale, clearing the last of the smoke from the chamber.
What are spoon pipes made of?
Borosilicate glass is commonly used to make spoon pipes because it's heat-resistant and less likely to shatter when dropped than other types of glass.
Are spoon pipes good for beginners?
Yes, these classic pipes are a good choice for a first order because they're simple to use, portable, and do not require water or extra accessories.
How do you clean a spoon pipe?
To clean your spoon pipe, remove any loose ash from the bowl area first. Then soak the entire pipe in isopropyl alcohol (at least 70%, preferably 91%). Shake the pipe gently in the plastic container full of alcohol to loosen the resin, making sure any salt you use gets inside the pipe.
