The best tasting "smoke" is in a vaporizer. Even a lightbulb vape taste superb if you clean out the bulb really well first. Just break away all the resin/glue stuff on the end first too.

If taste is what I'm going for, then either a joint or a lightbulb vape is the best. I don't like the taste of pipes as much... even water pipes to be honest. Maybe it is because of the butane... I don't know.
