One Hitter Pipes: Hit me baby one more time.


A One Hitter aka a bat or chillum, is a small pipe and as the name suggests it only holds a small amount of cannabis; enough for one hit.  One Hitters are the most discrete of all accessories, and can be packed and carried easily. One Hitters are simple in construction, like pipes, and are made of various materials, mainly ceramic, metal or glass.  Chillums are shaped as a straight tube much like a cigarette or small cigar. On one end of the chillum is the bowl, and on the opposing end is the mouthpiece.  Some One Hitters are designed to mimic a cigarette, while others have the ornate designs of blown glass like full pipes.
                        
One Hitters are small and compact in size, making them incredibly discrete. Perfect for a low key hit, the bat delivers a quick toke without a continuous stream of smoke like that produced from a joint.  Furthermore, unlike the traditional pipe, the bowl of a bat is not obvious in shape, and so lighting it mimics the same motion as lighting a cigarette or cigar.

One Hitters have become even more popular with the micro-dosing movement and cannabis use in the medical community.  For patients or consumers with low tolerance, one hitters allow a smaller, accurately measured hit which is reliable and pleasurable without delivering an overabundance of cannabis.

Among avid marijuana users, one hitters are admired for their aid in the conservation of the stash and the limitation of cannabis use; as well as ensuring every hit is fresh and tasty. This is because when packing bowl, it’s easy to pack it full, and depending on the accessory used this can require a great deal of marijuana. For those who need or desire to smoke alone and cannot finish the entire bowl, this results in returning to a half smoked bowl.  The ultimate consequence of this is flavorless, singed cannabis and tasteless hits. The One Hitter or bat has only a small tip to be filled and is therefore, perfect to limit the amount of cannabis smoked at a time and beyond this ensures fresh bud with every hit.

One Hitters are also very easy to use, especially for beginners.  Using them requires packing the bowl fairly tightly, so the cannabis does not fall out when held or whilst lighting.  The bat is lit much like a cigarette as the bowl is at the opposing end of the mouth piece.  Once ignited, the user inhales, holds then releases.  After release simply tap the end of the bat or blow through the mouthpiece to empty it, and your chillum is ready to load again.

When selecting your One Hitter make sure to consider all these factors, and if you need help, hit us up because…. We love weed, do you?

Weed Grinders: Why you need one

There are 2 main types of grinders that perform the same task: manual and electric. Whether hand or motor powered, weed grinders make life easier for the user. Weed grinders save sweaty, clumsy and fumbling hands from the smell of flower, and do a far better and faster job than anyone could without one.

Kief: What is it, why you want it, how to get it...

Kief, keef or keif is formed from dried resin producing glands (called trichomes) on the leaves of cannabis plants. It looks like a fine brown powder when collected. Kief is also called crystal or pollen at times because of its appearance. Kief is one of the most sought after cannabis products because it contains a high concentration of THC, the drug that causes euphoric feelings or the notorious marijuana high. This is where it derives its name; the word `kif` is taken from the Arabic word `kayf`meaning well-being or pleasure. Kief is collected with a few methods.  If you have grown and dried cannabis, then it can be collected by rubbing leaves over stainless steel mesh screens or by shaking the branches and holding something under the plant. Larger operations have a special machines designed for processing larger amounts of leaves where they tumble against a rotating silk drum and glands fall off to be collected.The most common way to collect small amount of kief is using a...

The Science and Sensations of Water Pipes

Cannabis lovers know there is a limitless variety of sensations and flavors that can be experienced. So why should you try a water pipe, aka bong? The simple answer is it produces a unique experience that is smoother, cooler, easier toke than smoking. Many bong users love that it is easier to pack then fill with water, and does not require rolling a joint which can be time consuming and leave your hands smelling.  The odor of smoke from a water pipe is lessened and therefore its more discrete as well. The bong also allows users to get the most out of their cannabis, as one can milk tokes and burn it more efficiently. To understand the full benefit of using a water pipe or bong, you must understand a bit of the chemistry of smoking cannabis.  Burning cannabis produces smoke which contains desirable chemicals such as THC, CBD and other cannabinoids but also nasty by-products such as tar and particulate ash.  When using a bong or water pipe the smoke is bubbled...
