What is a Sherlock Pipe?
If you think about the kind of pipe the classic character Sherlock Holmes smoked from, or the types of pipes your grandpa used to smoke his tobacco, then you’ve got a basic idea to the shape of a Sherlock pipe. It can also be described as having the shape of a saxophone, and some clever glassblowers have used this design to their advantage (like this one from Grav Labs). Basically, a sherlock pipe has a bowl at one end with the mouthpiece curved upward and away from the bowl.
Why You Should Invest in a Recycler
At a little higher price point than many other water pipes, recyclers offer much more than just a cooler design. Today users can find the recycler model in both dry herb water pipes and concentrate rigs; so, no matter what you like to use, you can enjoy the benefits from a recycler. Recyclers can look intimidating at first, but are actually pretty fun once you get the hang of them.
Pros and Cons of Metal Pipes
There are several materials pipes are crafted from. Glass is the most popular, both in the number of designs and in overall choice for regular smokers. However, glass is delicate, and some pieces can be quite expensive. Smokers looking for an alternative medium may consider metal pipes for smoking. Metal pipes carry many advantages, but not all are created equal.
How to Use a Glass Blunt
As an alternative to rolling paper, glass blunts are a more eco-friendly way to smoke your favorite herb. Glass blunts are easy to use, easy to clean, and won’t break the bank no matter what your budget is. They are great pieces for on-the-go users who enjoy the simplicity of rolled cigarettes, but also appreciate the classiness of a quality hand pipe. At first glance, they look like chillums, but they function a bit differently from these other hand pipes.

What’s your preferred way to clean up your gear? I’m a real MacGyver myself; I’ll use any and everything at my disposal short of something that requires real, actual effort. One time in college I tried to clean a batty in the showers using super hot water and was almost immediately recognized and called out, even though you could only see my feet. There’s a plethora of products to help keep your instruments in working order or showcase ready, but you can also achieve a pretty spectacular result at home if you’ve got the necessary resources. I’ll cover one of each, as even though boiling can do a pretty thorough job, sometimes the only way to achieve perfection is with some help from the pros.

Wax vs Herb: Which is Better?
When comparing herbal wax products to “traditional” herbal products, you will notice there are quite a few similarities. However, they are indeed apart of two totally different worlds. Wax products have always seemed so much more complicated and almost like this foreign, strange way of going about things. After taking a closer look and truly comparing the two, both sides certainly have their perks.
