Purple pipe and hand pipe

A pure pipe gives you an unadulterated hit of your favorite herb, free from any tobacco contaminants. "Hand pipe" is the generic term for all kinds of handy, small pipes. Pipes are essentially used for the consumption of tobacco and herbs, and have been for centuries. They are smoking instruments in which the tobacco/herb burns in a combustion chamber, and the resulting smoke is directed through a stem to the mouthpiece and finally into the mouth.

Hand pipes are essentially very simple in design. They consist of a combustion chamber for the material to be burned and a stem leading to the mouthpiece. Today, there are many models that can accommodate an activated carbon filter. For many connoisseurs, the actiTube brand pipes, which can accommodate activated carbon filters, are among the absolute top products.

How a pur pipe and hand pipe work

Using a pipe is as simple as its construction. You fill the pipe bowl with tobacco or herb. Then you light the mixture, and smoke is produced. When you inhale, the smoke is drawn through the stem. If the pipe has a filter, the smoke is cleaned of harmful substances and cooled. Finally, the smoke enters the mouth through the mouthpiece and, if desired, into the lungs. The mouthpiece is usually held in the mouth with the teeth when smoking. However, there are also models that allow you to hold the pipe with either your lips or your teeth.

Pipe materials in our headshop

• Metal: Metal pipes are sturdy and practical. They are highly heat-resistant and easy to clean.
• Wood: Wooden pipes can be made of various types of wood, such as briar, walnut, olive, rosewood, or pearwood. They are comfortable on the lips and more stable than glass pipes. Furthermore, the flavor is only slightly distorted. However, cleaning them is not quite as easy as with metal pipes, for example.
• Glass The biggest advantage of glass pipes is that they impart absolutely no flavor. Just like metal pipes, they are easy to clean. A special feature of glass pipes is that they can take on a variety of shapes and be decorated.
• Stone Pipes made of stone and crystal are tasteless. They are also among the more robust types of pipes. They are available in many different, sometimes even unique, shapes and colors. After all, not every stone or crystal looks the same.
• Ceramic: This material offers a wide range of design options in terms of appearance and color. Additionally, it doesn't impart its own flavor, allowing you to enjoy your mixture in all its variety.

Pipe accessories

But the pipe alone isn't enough. Screens are needed to prevent residue and other contaminants from getting into the stem and potentially into your mouth. Furthermore, the pipe should be cleaned regularly to ensure it's clean and functioning perfectly the next time you use it.
