Your favorite online headshop has the finest selection of glass hand pipes, spoons, bubblers, chillums, one-hitters and more.Â
Glass Pipes
A catch-all name for all the pretty pipes in this category, our glass pipes are blown by hand by skilled artisans. Many of them are highly intricate art pieces—Check out the finely-crafted details on our Wake 'N' Bake Frying Pan Hand Pipe!
Spoons
Named for its resemblance to the ubiquitous eating utensil, spoon pipes are simple in design and purpose. But that doesn't mean they can't be intricately designed - so many possibilities!
Another advantage of beakers is that they hold more water and more smoke in the base, allowing for larger, grander hits.
Bubblers
Outfitted with a small water chamber that can be filled to cool down the smoke, bubblers function as tiny bongs. The best of both worlds.
Chillums
With an end-to-end channel from pack to inhale, chillums keep it straight but not narrow! Enjoy your smoke with one of our gorgeous glass pieces, or check out some super-tech style.
One-Hitters
You know 'em, you love 'em—one hitters are the pocket-sized BFF of any smoker. We've got 'em in all sizes!

Steamrollers
Featuring an easy draw and swiriling visuals, steamrollers are always a party favorite. Impress your friends with this cute lil' pickle!
Dry Pipe or Water Pipe?
Glass pipes come in versions that can be used with and without water. Spoons, chillums and steamrollers offer a clean, dry toke, which works fine when you're on the go or looking for a quick sesh. However, dry pipes don't filter any of the smoking product, so hits can be harsher.
Bubblers on the other hand, have a chamber for water that will cool smoke as it draws. Bubblers offer function and filtration of big bongs with the convenience and portability of a standard hand pipe. Plus, a bubbler is versatile and can just as easily function as a dry pipe (just don’t add water!)
The flexibility of bubblers makes them an absolutely essential part of every smoker’s collection. Because bubblers are usually a bit more expensive than standard hand pipes, they tend to look more unique as they require a basin-like bowl to hold water. This design enables glass blowers to get a little crazier with bubbler shapes than they might with a basic spoon, making them an obvious choice for serious glass collectors.
Smoke Cartel offers a fabulous variety of bubblers for your glass water pipe collection. Many are worked with fumed glass, sandblasted with unique patterns, or are crafted in the popular sidecar style. Some of our bubblers feature two chambers, both equipped with high-functioning percolators. We’ve even got bubblers for concentrates, enabling concentrate smokers to enjoy their oils and waxes on the go.
How to Clean a Glass Hand Pipe
Look, it's the truth: The more you use your piece, the dirtier it's going to get. Here at your favorite online headshop, we recommend regular cleanings to keep your glass as gorgeous as the day it was fired.Â
For some of you, that may mean once in a blue moon, for others monthly or even weekly. You'll know a pipe cleaning is overdue when draws become more difficult. A thick layer of sticky resin is also a major clue.Â
Some folks swear by using rubbing alcohol and Epsom salts, two items you may have around the house already.Â
In order to employ this simple glass pipe cleaning method, you will need:
- Large Ziploc bag
- Salt
- Rubbing alcohol
- Water
- Pipe Cleaners (wire with the fuzzy stuff)
- Your glass pipe/pipes
- Q-tips
Step 1: Fill the Ziploc with enough rubbing alcohol to cover your pipe.
Step 2: Add several tablespoons of salt to the bag.
Step 3: Seal bag. (This is important. Very important. Seriously, check it again to make sure it's sealed.)
Step 4: Shake it gently for 30-40 seconds, like you're seasoning a batch of fried chicken. Gives new meaning to shake 'm' bake, eh?!
Step 5: Scrub your pipe with cotton swabs and pipe cleaners to remove any remaining residue.Â
Enjoy your sparkly glass pipe, good as new!
