yeah, glass is the only way to go...metal pipes suck.

nice size bowl is a must...inside out glass is the strongest and coolest looking...

like homie said, the right pipe will jump out at you...
IonMyke Reviewed by IonMyke on . Pipe buying tips I'm new to smoking and was looking to purchase myself a pipe and was wondering what one looks for when buying a pipe. I just want a small hammer or a spoon or something similar; you know, something that is easy portable (but more than a one-hitter). The reason I ask is that a friend told me that you should buy a pipe with someone who is experiance so as not to get ripped off. So, what are the ups and downs of various aspects of different pipes.
