Chillum (pipe)
A chillum, or chilam, is a straight conical smoking pipe traditionally made of either clay or a soft stone (such as Soapstone, steatite or catlinite). It was used popularly in India in the eighteenth century and still often used to smoke marijuana. A small stone is often used as a stopper in the stem. The style of pipe spread to Africa, and has been known in the Americas since the 1960s. A chillum pipe is used in Rastafari rituals. History According to Alfred Dunhill, Africans have long employed chillum-style pipes for smoking cannabis (drug), cannabis and later tobacco. Gourds and various horns were often employed while conical bowls were common in Uganda. One of the more famous pipes is an ivory cone pipe once belonging to Buganda monarch Muteesa_I_of_Buganda, King Mtesa.

One-hitter (smoking)
A one-hitter (also oney, bat, tay, oney bat, or taster) is typically a slender pipe with a screened narrow ''bowl'' designed for a single inhalation, or "hit", of smoke or vapor from a small serving (about 0.1-0.3g) of heated cannabis flower, tobacco leaf or other dry, sifted herbal preparation. It is distinguished from western-style large-bowl pipes designed for strong tobaccos that are burned hot and tasted but not inhaled. Instead, by properly distancing a lighter flame below the opening, inhalant users operate at vaporization temperatures, minimizing combustion waste and toxicity. Traditional national varieties of one-hitter pipes have included Native American calumet ("peace pipe"), kiseru (Japan), midwakh (Middle East), sebsi (Morocco) and some narrow chillums (Nepal, India, Jamaica). A one-hitter has been considered drug paraphernalia in certain regions. Dugout Brands of cigarette-sized one hitters for inconspicuous public use are marketed with a rectangular (or som ...

Bong
A bong (also known as a water pipe) is a filtration device generally used for smoking cannabis, tobacco, or other herbal substances. In the bong shown in the photo, the smoke flows from the lower port on the left to the upper port on the right. In construction and function, a bong is similar to a hookah, except smaller and especially more portable. A bong may be constructed from any air- and water-tight vessel by adding a bowl and stem apparatus (or slide) which guides air downward to below water level whence it bubbles upward ("bubbler") during use. To get fresh air into the bong and harvest the last remaining smoke, a hole known as the "carburetor", "carb", "choke", "bink", "rush", "shotty", "kick hole", or simply "hole", somewhere on the lower part of the bong above water level, is first kept covered during the smoking process, then opened to allow the smoke to be inhaled. On bongs without such a hole, the bowl and/or the stem are removed to allow air from the hole that ho ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
