[beavermint64]

would this work? or does it delude the weed? ive heard that smoking weedf rom a wood pipe, its is horrible. should i settle for this? or go for a glass piece?

[beavermint64]

i prefer bongs.... pipes are more convienent but if i were to buy one it would be glass.... mabye metal but never wood

i take it they arent good for the joy plant? i might get it because i have loose tabacco on me a lot too. (i dont smoke cigarettes, to many chemicals, i prefer the fresh tabacco.)

I have a wooden pipe and i dont smoke tobacco. It has a cap on it so no smoke is waisted and it hits good to

Wooden pipes make the weed taste like shit. Buy a glass pipe instead. If your smoking tobacco out of a pipe it doesn't really matter since tobacco tastes like shit anyways.

okay, thanks!

I got a nice little one with a cover to prevent smoke loss. It's nice and inconspicuous and isn't bright and shiny. I only smoke on special occasion so I don't have a lot of experience but for a noob, I can take pretty big hits off of it. I call it newbie because it's my first and it rhymes with dooby :)

I have a wooden pipe. It all depends on the build quality, what wood they are made from, and the type of finish. Alot of the time people smoke from a wooden pipe with resin buildup and some of the bare wood is charing. I only use mine for tobacco, it's slightly rougher then a glass pipe hit. But bongs are still the ultimate way to go.

i had that problem the first few times i smoked out of the wooden bowl i had. it went away after around 6-7 bowls. i asked the lady from where i bought it, and she recommended i get some honey on my finger, and rub it around the bowl.

there are some really adequate wooden bowls. as already said, depends on wood type and finish. but i will always be a glass man.

as yoda said, the bad taste goes away after a few bowls. this is due to a 'cake' building up that prevents the wood from burning. even for tobacco, it takes several bowls to break the pipe in, which is known as, yep, you guessed it, a break in period... when you see 'pre-broken in' pipes, they normally take some thick confectioner's sugar syrup or honey or a watered down charcoal and rub it inside the bowl, which prevents the wood from burning... A good wood pipe spends a while quenching in an oil bath, which slows down the burning of the wood tremendously, and they are then placed into an oven. it's all about preparation.

I've made several wood pipes and love to smoke out of them. If they are made right, quenched properly, and adequately broken in, there is very, very little taste contamination due to the wood.

The mrs. and I have a wooden pipe for whenever one of us doesn't feel like using the bong for whatever reason, and it's the cheapest crappiest pipe we could find, since we hardly ever use it anyway. I must say, it really sucks and does make the weed taste gnarly, seems i'm smoking the wood as well or something.

We used to have metal pipes and those are pretty good.

I read somewhere that in the US it's not a good idea to go for a pipe out of anything else then glass, since there will be nothing left in a glass pipe / bong after you cleaned it, which does not work for other materials, especially wood, so when it's glass and clean then it's just a pipe, so you don't get busted for drugs paraphernalia.

I read that on another forum. I remember somebody replying to that by "As if they are going to take your pipe to a lab or something and check if you've been smoking weed from it.... Oh wait, you're in the US..." Thought that was quite funny :)
