Hand Pipe
A Hand Pipe is what most people visualize when the term ‘pipe’ is used. Typically smaller in size so that the smoker can manipulate the pipe between the fingers and hold it in one’s hand.
Chillum
Chillum refers to a specific apparatus design where two opposing notches or dents are made in the body of the pipe to allow the user to place the pipe in between the ring finger and the pinky finger and hold the Chillum in place. The user then cups both hands together to make a relatively airtight chamber, flexes the thumb to create a small hole, presses lips to the thumb hole and inhales. Chillum is used interchangeably with Onie, One Hitter and Cigarette Holder, though functionally, it is not the same by nature of the dents made for the holding fingers. Most ascribe this apparatus to India as a method of hygenic smoking where the lips of the user never actually touch the pipe. With the advent of glass pipes however, the function of this apparatus is just ceremonial; a glass pipe can be sterilized at the mouthpiece simply by passing an lit lighter over it a few times.
One Hitters
One Hitter is so named because it allows the consumer to sample small amounts of leaf for on the go or before purchasing. One hitters are different from Chillums by the style of holding, but are reliable just like them. Some of its synonyms are cigarette holder, onie, taster or bat. They popularized in the early 20th century as a way to curb communicable diseases during social smoking sessions. They hold a hand rolled cigarette, joint, spliff (combination of tobacco and cannabis), cigar or blunt without the user having to actually touch the lit material.
Sherlock
Sherlock refers to pipes having a deep, dramatic ‘U’ bend that causes hot smoke and vapor to abruptly change direction and kick out any ash or unwanted particulate against the relatively cool surface of the glass where it quickly cools and sticks. Sherlocks provide a cleaner, smoother pull than any straight pipe.
Spoon
Spoon refers to a simple straight handpipe and is the most common shape of a handpipe.
Steamroller
A Steamroller is a style of pipe that has both ends open with some sort of an attached combustion chamber (push bowl). Steamrollers have been around for many years, but were popularized recently as a method used by water pipe manufacturers, to recoup a ‘lost’ piece. When the water carrying portion of the vessel cracks, wobbles or otherwise becomes unusable, the lather operator flame cuts the damaged area away from the neck and mouthpiece to save all the fume and decoration work residing on the neck.
Water Pipes
Water Pipe refers to any combustion or vaporization apparatus that passes smoke or vapor through water to cool and filter the gas prior to being inhaled.
Bong
A Bong is a modern reference to a stand alone water pipe with a single open mouthpiece (typically at the top of the apparatus) specifically designed for a single user. The term Bong is a reference to a ‘Billabong’; typically a tidal estuary with calm standing water where surfers could hang out between sets and rest up.
Bubbler
The term Bubbler is from the scientific glass community that describes apparatus that filters a gas by passing it through a liquid. In the case of pipes, a bubbler is a waterpipe, typically handheld, typically smaller in size than common Water Pipes like Bongs or Hookah
Hookah
Hookah, Narghila, Ghalian and all cultural variants of these term refer to the top loading water pipe used to enjoy flavored and sugared tobacco called Shisha.

Vaporizers
The Vaporizer rage is in full swing. Easy to conceal with less smell and super convenient; Vape pens are currently more popular than pipes….as long as you don’t ask too many question. Most of the Vape pens I have looked at are chintzy marketing ware – more words than substance, and often times, not so therapeutic because of the misleading way they are marketed. Contaminated coils, coils made of metal that off gasses heavy metals and other toxins make up the lions share of what is on the market today. True Vaporizers are devices that use *indirect* temperature to either boil water out of a solid (leaf) or phase change a solid or liquid into a gas (extract). Indirect is defined as: WITHOUT COMING INTO CONTACT with the heating element. If you’re going to use a Vape, make sure it’s a Vape, and not just another combustion device that looks like a pen.
