Fuming is how glass blowers create “color-changing” pipes. If a glass blower wants to make two pipes out of their initial tube of glass, the process is basically the same. The only difference comes at the very beginning, when the blower first applies heat to expand the tube of glass. If the artist is making two pipes, they will start by forming two stretched-out bulbs in the center of their tubing. The artist carefully snaps the tubing into two pieces once both bulbs are hot. The most common hand pipe that can be seen everywhere.
For two, glass has less build-up than pretty much every other type of material used for pipes. This means that you won’t have to worry as much about bacteria and clean-up is not very difficult. Most pipes have a small hole on one side called a “carb.” Light the herb with a small lighter and inhale gently, plugging and releasing the carb. This controls the flow of air to the dry herb and controls the burn.
At this point, the final step is to shape the mouthpiece and then break the entire pipe off of the initial glass tubing. The artist smooths out the mouthpiece, eliminating any irregularities or sharp edges. Once the bowl has been shaped, the glass blower uses a rod to gently press down in the center glass pipes of the bulb. This step is called the “bowl push” and it’s what creates the depression in which smokers pack their herb. A hollow pipe with a bowl piece on one end, and a mouthpiece on the other. Both ends of the pipe are open, and the open end near the bowl functions as the carburetor.
Do not necessarily pack it as fully or tightly as possible, as this can restrict airflow. Often times there is a hole on the side known as a “carb” which acts as a way to clear your smoke and alter your airflow. Steamroller – Using a large, front facing carb hole , Steamrollers are great at providing larger hits with minimal materials. Beginners often find steamrollers “harsh” on the throat, but with a bit of practice you’ll learn to modulate the carb for the exact amount of air you need.
