Recently, I came across a lot of fancy and detailed one of a kind glass pipes on social media. I was surprised how much detail a glass blower can manage to put on a small hand pipe. I immediately became obsessed with glass pipes. I never even really had a closer look at them before because they seemed cheap to me (the reason for that is that I only ever got to see very poorly manufactured shitty looking ones).
Proper Bongs and Vapes just seemed superior to small hand pipes. After seeing those pretty pipes all over Instagram and YouTube I couldn’t help but wanting to own one. But getting a decent one without going bankrupt turned out to be a harder challenge than expected.
As it turns out, Amazon only really sells crappy pipes. So I went to a local head shop and had a look at their pipes. I immediately noticed the price tags! It was horrendous. Up to $150 for a little pretty handblown pipe just like the ones that I looked for, just that I didn’t expect the cheapest pipe to be well over $75.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind paying over a hundred bucks on a pipe but that one was just too shitty. It just had nothing special about it. Frustrated, I went back home and did a couple more searches asking myself: "How in the world can I get a heady, high quality and detailed hand pipe." After doing some research, I found the solution.
If you want to get cheap heady glass you have to buy it online! There is no way around it. Buying it in a store will cost you an arm and a leg. Due to the popularity of exotic, handblown, sometimes even custom made glass pipes, retailers can easily charge double or triple of wholesale price and still sell high quantities.
I ended up adding way more pipes to my cart than I would possibly ever need. Check out below my favorites out of my collection.
