About

Chillum pipes in glass, metal and silicone, plus one-hitters and dugouts , all compact, simple and easy to carry. They suit you if you want a small, straight piece for short sessions or travel. What Is a Chillum Pipe? A chillum pipe is a straight, tube-shaped hand pipe with a bowl at one end, a mouthpiece at the other and no carb hole. Most chillums run 3 to 4.5 inches long and hold enough dry herb for 2 to 4 hits per pack. Chillum Styles and Materials This collection covers chillums in glass, metal, silicone and wood, plus the gear that travels with them. It includes 4 kinds of products: Glass chillums: clear, colored and silicone-wrapped styles, some with a built-in ash catcher. Metal chillums: aluminum builds , on their own or paired with a glass tip. Dugouts: a case that holds your dry herb and a matching one-hitter together. Holders and parts: pre-roll and chillum holders, plus replacement parts for Cipher ArcSnap chillums. To narrow down your pick, weigh 3 factors: Material: glass lets you see when it needs a clean, but it can break. Metal, silicone and wood handle a drop in your bag better. Capacity: a chillum gives you a few hits per pack, while a one-hitter gives you one. Carry: a dugout keeps your dry herb and one-hitter in a single case. Care tip: clean your chillum often, because the narrow tube clogs fast. Soak it in 90%+ isopropyl alcohol for 30 to 60 minutes, scrub the inside with a pipe cleaner , then let it air dry.
