If you’re a cannabis enthusiast but find the whole rolling joint process time-consuming or risky, a one-hitter pipe is an excellent alternative. This borosilicate glass chillum is small enough to fit in your pocket and can be loaded with any pre-roll or ground herb. This one hitter will produce less smell than a lit joint and is great for discreet on-the-go smoking. It’s also easy to clean!
Easy to Carry
One-hitter pipes are incredibly portable and easily fit into your pocket or purse. They’re also easy to conceal because they’re usually shaped like a lighter or designed discreetly, making them perfect for on-the-go smokers.
Glass one hitters are often fogged or otherwise colored, making them a unique visual accessory with an eye-catching design. They can even be made by hand by glass artists in a community collective, giving you the added benefit of knowing your piece is completely one-of-a-kind. Metal one hitters are more durable and sleek, with some brands designing them to resemble a cigarette or other discrete items. They’re also highly portable and have the added advantage of being able to be loaded with weed before leaving your house or car.
Less Wasted Weed
A one hitter pipe is perfect when you want to take a hit but don’t feel like pulling out your bong or rolling a joint. They’re so small and discreet that you can slip them in your pocket or purse without anyone noticing and pull them out whenever the mood strikes. The smaller bowls on one hitter pipes also mean you’ll use less weed than smoking with a bong or joint. This will make your stash last much longer and prevent you from wasting any cannabis that won’t be consumed. A good quality one-hitter with a spring-loaded ash-clearing function is essential for every smoker. The Push and Clear feature makes it easy to get your one hitter clean after each use, so you don’t have to worry about inhaling ash or gunk.
Discreet
While vaporizers and concentrates have become popular options in stoner culture, many are still finding comfort in more traditional forms of cannabis consumption. One-hitter pipes are discreet and easy to clean. You can tuck your one-hitter into a pocket, purse, or backpack without worrying about someone noticing it. One hitters also produce less smell than other methods of smoking. One hitter can easily clean by soaking a pipe cleaner in rubbing alcohol and running it over the mouthpiece and bowl. This will remove any buildup of resin and help keep your pipe fresh. Alternatively, you can use isopropyl alcohol to wipe down your line. Be sure to wipe down the inside of your storage tube if you have one, as these can easily clog.
Easy to Clean
Like all smoking accessories, one-hitter pipes need to be cleaned regularly. Without cleaning, resins will build up over time and negatively affect the taste of your next hit. While many professional pipe cleaners are available on the market, it is easy to make your effective solution using items you likely already have in your home. You will need a zip lock bag or safe sealable container, rubbing alcohol, and salt. Coarse salt is preferred as it will work to break down sticky resin through abrasion. To clean, submerge your one-hitter in the alcohol and salt solution until fully cleaned. Then rinse with water to flush out the remaining isopropyl alcohol. You can also use a bobby pin or paper clip to clear hard-to-reach spots.
Convenient
One-hitter pipes are easy to carry and convenient for on-the-go smoking. They can easily fit in your pocket, or you can tuck them away in your backpack on a camping trip. They also clean up much quicker than larger pipes, and they’re less likely to get gunked up with resinous flavors, which can change the taste of your smoke. Glass hitters can be fragile, so you’ll want to avoid breaking them. Metal is sleek, and some are designed to look like cigarettes for discretion. Both types can be cleaned with a regular pipe cleaner to keep them looking and functioning. Frequent cleaning will prevent bacteria buildup and make your cannabis taste better.
