Chillums

Surely enough, we’ve all been to the point where we can’t make ourselves roll a nice joint or don’t want to stand up and fetch the bong. After a hard day at work, it’s just a hassle to do something extra! So, what's the next best thing? Chillums! Not just any kind of chillum, but our high-quality ones to kick back and relax after a hard day at work. However, many don’t know what these handy little devices for smoking are. And we certainly can’t blame you since they’re not from here.  First, let’s see what these chillums are and how they work so that you’ll have an easier time selecting one from our lavish collection. 

What are Chillums? 

A chillum originates from the east, specifically from India, around the 18th century. It’s a small straight pipe for smoking some sweet, dry herbs like cannabis or tobacco. The practice of smoking from a chillum was brought into the west not too long ago, around the ’60s and ’70s, to be exact, by the hippy movement and culture. Naturally, our chillums aren’t nearly the same as these 18th-century ones from India. While the shape is similar, ours are more compact with a more modern feel. One of the reasons is that these past smoking devices were made out of clay, wood, and even horns from an animal. Also referred to as chillum pipes, they’re mostly made out of stainless steel, aluminum, glass, and wood, so your smoking sessions become a breeze and ready when you are. These tiny devices that we provide are known for their versatility, and they also go by a different name - one-hitter pipes.  Our handy smoking devices hold for around a single hit, so they’re suited if you’re on the go. 

How To Use Chillums?

Essentially, it’s very easy to use the splendid chillum that you’ve picked out from our online head store. Initially, you ought to grind your weed since you won’t be working with a full-blown bud or with a concentrate, for that matter. These little guys don’t work with a carburetor, which means it’s just a straight inhale from the bowl to the mouthpiece. The next step is to take the ground weed and stuff it out on the bigger end of the chillum. Before taking further action, remember to keep your lighter near you. After locating your lighter, grab it and point the chillum at a 45-degree angle upwards so the weed doesn’t fall out. Now that you’ve avoided a mess and starting over again, grab your lighter and heat the end where your ground weed is while gently taking a puff. That’s all there is to using our splendid little smoking devices; remember to take smooth hits so you won’t get any ash on your tongue and mouth.

One-Hitter Pipes vs. Chillums

All in all, a one-hitter and a chillum are precisely the same, without a significant difference. It’s just that one-hitter is a type of chillum, among two other variants - a monkey pipe and a dugout pipe.  Our smoking devices’ chief distinction is when you compare them to all the other pipes we’ve got. Well, that’s when we look at their size, at least. That includes our hand pipes, sherlock pipes, steamroller pipes, silicone pipes, and spoon pipes. However, they sure are close in size to our glass blunts. They have the same straight tube and incorporate a mouthpiece and a bowl for smoking. However, you can purchase one of ours for safekeeping your chillum when it comes to pipe cases.

How To Choose The Right Chillums For Your Needs?

You’ll find that going for whichever chillum from our collection will be a wise choice. But, personal preference always comes first when choosing one of our products. The best chillums for sale we have for your needs are glass, and luckily, these would seem the right fit for many smokers. Not just any glass, but thick borosilicate glass, at that. Also, if you want even higher quality, get yourself a decently priced chillum and one with an excellent bowl-to-pipe ratio. If you want a more authentic flavor, you’ll find one of our wooden chillum pipes to be your best fit. 

Are Chillums Safe?

Every product we have is safe for usage, so it’s your responsibility to look after your chillum and yourself. When smoking from a chillum, always remember that you’re working with fire, and it will likely burn you if you’re not careful. Another thing to consider is that you’re knowingly inhaling smoke residue into your lungs. Besides this, a chillum is perfectly safe. 

How To Clean a Chillum Pipe?

If you’ve settled on one of our glass chillum pipes, then all you need to get is a hand towel and 91% isopropyl alcohol. Just drizzle a little alcohol on the towel or a piece of cloth, gently rub down the chillum and let the alcohol evaporate before using it again. If you have a wooden chillum, use alcohol and salt after every use while using a toothpick to clean the pipe that’s connecting the mouthpiece and bowl.

Do You Need a Filter for a Chillum?

In all honesty, you won’t need a filter to smoke from a chillum you’ve bought from our store. That is if you’re smoking high-quality buds. If you’re suspicious about that cannabis bud you have lying around or want to be extra cautious, you can use a filter to smoke from a chillum.

How Many Grams Does a Chillum Hold?

A bigger chillum pipe will hold around 1 gram of cannabis Sativa or Indica, and that’s it if you overstuff it. If you get one of the one-hitters, you’ll find that the name suits it well since it holds around 0.25 up to 0.5 grams of ground cannabis flower. If you want to fill it up more, it will be difficult, but our one-hitters will surely leave you with fantastic taste!

How Do You Pack a Chillum Pipe?

The same mechanic goes for a chillum pipe as you would pack one of our one-hitters. When you’ve ground the herb into a fine pile, grab a bunch of it (around half a gram) and tightly pack it if you’re not using a filter. This will prevent unwanted debris and stop some ground herbs from going directly into your mouth.  If you don’t fill the chillum with a single pack, you should repeat the process to fill out the bowl correctly.
