I've always been a glass man, just nothing compares to it... But then I saw these stone pipes. I was wondering if anyone has smoked out of stone, and if so, how would you compare it to glass? I'm quite temped to pick up a stone piece online as they seem to run a little less than the nicer glass pieces. Good idea or not, from anybody who knows?
i smoked out of stone it was shit, the piece just wasnt fun to look at was just bland brownish gray reminded me of hash i love glass but for now i have a bong thats either arcyalyic or cermaic not sure
I judge pieces on quality of smoke, not visual stimulation ;)
How did the piece hit? Did it give a weird taste like metal does? Or was it a clean herbal taste like burning out of glass? Did it tend to heat up or not so much?
lol i judge on both the smoke was alright not really metal but not plain herbal it was weird a real unqiue experience and it didnt heat up at all but then again we were smoking outside on a cool july night
ugh i wouldnt get stone i just wouldnt i would rather get a lil glass spoon then one of those just me tho lol
I might, I dont know yet... I've been through 3 glass spoons since summer though, getting sick of it...
howd they break or what happened?
I'm a big fan of flannels, mostly because they have that handy chest pocket. Of course, that chest pocket becomes and escape shoot if you bend over to pick something up off the ground, if you see what I'm saying :(
I'm usually pretty good about it, but every now and then I forget I got my piece in there, or I forget to button it and out she comes! Usually resulting in a ne piece :(
I bought my friend a white/rosy stone pipe and it is the shit. The bowl is bigger around than a $.25 but is kinda shallow. 1 bowl lasts a long time.
We'll I'm going to say to I enjoy the way a pipe looks, and the thought put into a wicked glass pipe. I'm willing to take a hit (like a punch not a hoot, but i'll take a hoot too..) for the price. Even if it came to it a little worse of fon the inhale just to support an artist of like mind, fighting in a profession thats facing it's obstocles.
What are wholesale pipes??!!~ Does and artist make them or a mold/cast. Or a similar sytem. If so i wanna buy a new pipe. Eventually.
I don't like supporting things which take away from the people.

They look cool, sure, but I wouldn't feel comforatable smoking from one. I'm not sure why.
And WELCOME BACK, The_C!
Hey thanks.. I think I'm no longer kicked off... Conclussion i came to after chatting with my mom last night. I'm not %100 sure, but I think im off the computer ban. Mabe she'll come home and tell me to get off, I'm not sure.
Thanks for the welcoming me back.
I hope I'm to stay back. If not i think i'll only be gone for another day or 2. When mymom came home that day she was like "it's doomsday" attitude. Lol i didn't think she would care that much.
From now on i think i'm gonna always toke outside this house...

I like stone because they don't taste like metal and they don't break like glass. They don't taste quite as good as glass but it's not that big of a difference. Those two you showed are pretty expensive for stone pipes that size though. I bought one similar to the second one at a head shop for 6 bucks. I wouldn't pay what they are asking. Part of the appeal of the stone for me is that they are so cheap and durable.
I smoked out of this stone pipe once, thing was huge, you could easily fit an ounce in there and smoke away. Maybe it was from smoking too much to the point I felt like puking, but I prefer my glass
no offense, but there's no fucking way you could fit an oz in any pipe, unless they're like the ritual giant bongs in jamaica or something; those are like really fuckin' big and stuff...I need a cigarette.
This isn't any ordinary pipe, the bowl itself is the actual size of a eating bowl except more rounded. Thing is huge.
Stones are cool for the novelty factor, as much as anything, dude...nice enough smoke :)
Imagine the hit from a stone :rolleyes:
i prefer glass, but i got a few soap stone pipes around someplace that i made like 6 years ago
I prefer glass. I don't think the hits are any different, but the quality of the pipe is. A strong glass bowl will last a lot longer. Soapstone is not a hard stone, that's why it's so easy to carve. This is just my opinion, but I'd take glass over stone any day. :)
Stone beats scissors, but paper beats stone :rolleyes:
But scissors beat paper!
I find taking big hits on stone pipes will burn your lips....cause the heat travels (assuming its a small pipe). Glass pipes give good hits and they are easier to clean.
Also i prefer glass over stone because when i used to have a stone pipe...i would tap it with a lighter to get rid of the ashes, and the stone would chip :(.
That's a very good point :cool:Quote:

used it and stashed [didnt want to go on a plane with a pipe on me]
it in my hotel elevator above the entrance door in the light
i guess i figured they might not have my room avilale next time i'm in Cali and if i need a pipe hell i know where a nice stone pipe is that dont break like all the glass ones i broke. And i'm starting to make, glass pipes also,.. The main reason that glass pipes are better is because they are alot larger so u get a smoother hit,.. less heat on your throat ect,...[ i havnt seen any body making 7 inch stone pipes]
cali :)
way to revive a 6 month old thread!
i have a stone chillum with carvings i smoke out of. Its nice.
