There are a variety of accessories smokers like to smoke from. There are different types of smoking accessories available these days, from a bong to glass chillum.
Water pipes have been used to smoke tobacco or any other material since the late Ming Dynasty in China in the 16th century. Contrary to common perception, the chillum was not designed by marijuana aficionados in the late 1970s.
When shopping for a new smoking accessory, one will be overwhelmed by the variety of alternatives available. However, smokers prefer any type of smoking accessory made from glass as it is chemical-free, making it a safe smoking accessory. Moreover, glass materials are easy to clean and toxic-free.
Here are some different kinds of smoking accessories you can buy.
- Spoons
These are not the same spoons as the ones in your kitchen. Spoons have a simple shape, but the colors and other elements are highly customizable, and the smoking spoons come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and colors. At one end, there's a little bowl for packing your belongings, and at the other end, there's a mouthpiece for inhaling smoke. There is another hole adjacent to the bowl, controlling the airflow within the spoon. By covering or uncovering the little hole adjacent to the bowl, you can regulate the amount of smoke within the pipe.
- Bongs
During the hippie era in the 1970s, bongs gained popularity. They are a different form of glass pipe that includes a water chamber—the water aids in cooling of smoke, resulting in more smooth and thicker smoke. Bongs, unlike spoons, come in a variety of forms and materials that you can easily purchase from cloudedrasta.com.au. Glass bongs are regarded as the crème of the crop among smokers as they are non-toxic and easy to clean.
On the other hand, glass bongs can prove more expensive than their plastic, silicon, or ceramic counterparts.
- Bubblers
Bubblers, cross between a bong and a spoon, are a relatively new invention. Bubblers are as little as a spoon yet have a small water chamber that allows them to operate like a bong. Bubblers, on the other hand, have a distinct application. Rather than packing the material in a little bowl like a spoon or a bong, you insert a rolled tobacco in the bubbler, light it, and inhale via the water chamber's hole.
- Chillums
Chillums work similarly to a spoon and have long cylindrical glass pipes. They have an open container instead of a bowl for storing the material. They are made from many materials, but glass chillums are considered the best of the lot as there are no chemicals in them, and it is safer to smoke from. You can simply fill one end of the chillum with your preferred smoking substance and inhale the smoke from the other end. However, there is no mechanism for controlling airflow in chillums, which might result in a burning feeling during smoking.
Chillums are more common in the East since many Afghan tribes use them as their primary smoking accessory.
Carefully determine your use case and how much you smoke before buying a chillum or any other smoking accessory.
