It all depends you see. I like a variety. I get bored using the same pieces or methods.

When I'm with more than 2 people, I usually roll one up, for a few reasons. It conserves herb more smoking with a larger group of people, instead of packing bowl after bowl, and that's where the second part comes in. The pipes get hot. It can be glass, but glass can still get hot, especially if you have people who torch the bowl with the flame.

When I'm alone, sometimes I'll use a dry piece like my spoon. I have a glass on glass bong that I love to use, but I find it burns my weed up really fast if I use it all the time. Most of the time though, I use my bubbler with ice water in there. It's not a pipe, but not a bong, but something right inbetween, with a bonus of using water.

I also have a stone steamroller too, but I don't use that often.
