Water Pipe Buying Guide - Everything You Need to Know

If you’re reading this maybe you’ve never bought a water pipe before. Maybe you’re looking for all of the valuable information you need to make a smart purchase of your very first water pipe. Good news, this is where all that valuable information lies. Within these words are lessons that you can hold dear for a lifetime. From first steps to potential after-thoughts, we cover all of the basics and more.

Price of the Water Pipe

Just like anything else, the price is the main factor whenever you're purchasing something. Look at your bank and determine what kind of shopping you’ll be doing. While it’s fun to window shop, it’s best to go in with a budget. You can find fairly quality pieces for a lower budget, if you’re looking to spend that hard earned cash as a reward to your self, pay close attention to our bells and whistles section. Determine your budget and move forward.

Will This Be For Dry or Concentrate Usage?  

Now that we have our budgets laid out, let’s talk about the different types of glass pipes you could potentially come across. Water pipes can be divided into two categories, water pipes for dry usage and water pipes for concentrate usage. If you are using the latter, then you’ll also want to look for a few other things like quartz bangers and nails. If it’s the former, the simplicity of the water pipe will still be intact. Take a moment and think about which category you fall in. (Quick hint, you can fall into both categories - you’ll just need a water pipe that’s adaptable.) After you’ve got that figured out, let’s move into the more granular details.

What Size Water Pipe Is Best For You?

Water pipes come in all different shapes and sizes. Which one will work best for you? This is an internal question to ask yourself. Are you looking for a tall skyscraper water pipe? Or an averagely sized water pipe? While height is a factor in size, the size of female or male piece is important as well. If you are looking to use your water pipe with concentrates, make sure to purchase the correct size female or male banger and/or nail.

Additional Bells and Whistles For Your Water Pipe

Thankfully, we don’t live in the stone ages. Today, water pipes come with a wide variety of bells and whistles that make it easier for you to smoke. Take percolators, for example, they help to filter the smoke to make it nice and smooth. Other bells and whistles that you should look for if you are within budget are splash guards, recyclers, and honeycomb percolators. Splash guards keep the water from splashing into your face while recyclers are another addition to filter smoke. Keep your eyes open, most percolator designs look crazy! Once you move through the additional features, make the final decision. Is this the water pipe you want? With Thick Ass Glass, you’ll be able to keep it for years to come.
