Top 10 Pipes of 2022

There are a lot of different ways to enjoy your Weed these days but good old fashioned pipes are still one of the favorites for convenience, portability and price when it comes to getting high. We've put together a list of our favorite pipes we currently carry based on quality, price and style.

But before we get into the best of the best, there's some basics to understand when it comes to the four main materials pipes are made from, and the pros and cons of each.

Metal

Metal pipes are damn near indestructible and usually come apart easily for cleaning but there are a few things to be aware of when choosing metal for weed. When it comes to both flavor and cleaning metal is not ideal as metal oxidizes when heated making them difficult to get back to that "Brand New Clean" feel and this in turn makes them taste a little more rugged than other alternatives. So while metal may be a great option for being cheap and durable, maybe not an ideal choice for smoking your good weed out of.

Wood

Wood is a classic pipe material and a great option for tobacco, but for weed it has some drawbacks. Like metal cleaning and taste will be an issue over time and also like metal, wood doesn't do a great job of cooling the smoke before it hits your lungs. If you are hell bent on using wood pipes though for that sweet aesthetic feel, then use a little hack of using tobacco resin to clean and maintain the pipe (much like a patina for cooking pans).

Silicone

Silicone is durable, inexpensive and usually quite easy to clean (use the hack of throwing your silicone in the freezer and simply crunching out any resin or debris). That being said, silicone has some of the same issues when it comes to cooling and taste so this would be another option to avoid for really high quality bud.

Glass

When it comes to smoking weed glass is king for a reason. Glass is the most inert material you can use for smoking which means it will offer the cleanest taste. On top of that glass is also the easiest to clean (you can use either hot water or isopropyl alcohol) and does the best job of cooling the smoke before it hits your lungs. If you want quality, always go glass, and if you are a little on the clumsy side then an easy solution is to invest in a nice soft or hard case for your glassware. 

So now that you know what's what about pipes...let's see this year's best!

Yes these pipes are metal, and yes they rule.

If these pipes seem a little pricey you can check out their cheaper version, the Maze Magnetic 4" Slider Pipes.
