Calcifers Beaker Glass Water Pipe

Description

Calcifers Beaker Glass Water Pipe is a beaker style vessel that has good water filtration and is very stable on your table. This soft glass water pipe is fitted with a low profile 19mm outer to 14mm inner diffused downstem. It is provisioned with both a complimentary bowl and quartz banger.

This beautiful design is made with Soft Glass. Soft Glass allows for more color combinations not available in ‘hard’ glass aka Pyrex/Borosilicate. Soft Glass melts at much cooler temperatures than Hard Glass so colors that evaporate in the heat of making Hard Glass are available for use to decorate Soft Glass. Less heat also means less energy used which means lower price which means more can be used during fabrication. These tubes are hefty and have an awesome, substantial hand feel.

Soft Glass is what the Ancient Greeks used to make the first known glass pipes. Back in the day, Soft Glass was also the ‘go-to’ raw material for water pipes before widespread adoption of Hard Glass. One of my first pieces was a Steven Dale ‘Flower Vase’ style made from recycled bottles collected in Los Angeles. They were melted down in his furnace and turned into beautiful water pipes just like Calcifers Beaker Glass Water Pipe.

Soft Glass is unfortunately not as thermally or percussively strong as Pyrex, so care needs to be taken during cleaning.
