Glass and silicone water pipes are the most popular materials for experienced smokers. MK100 Glass wants to show you the benefits of both, and how one piece may fit your smoking style better. Flavor, consistency, and size all matter when it comes to great hits. Why not help yourself out?

MK100 Glass has used every type of glass pipe! Understanding the differences in materials will help you choose the perfect piece for your smoking lifestyle.

Durability

Glass pipes are notorious for breaking easily unless you invest in very thick glass, but those can still break. Hippie Butler offers a program called Pipe Protect with any of our smoking pieces, where we send you a brand new one at a fraction of the cost. Even though silicone pipes are pretty hard to mess up, this program is worth it.

Quality

It is an opinion that glass cannot be beaten in smoke quality. Although the silicone version may work for a long while, many people claim that the quality deteriorates with use and age. High-quality silicone pieces will not experience this effect, and many of our silicone pieces come with glass parts to ensure quality over time.

Cleaning

Both materials will require cleaning, but silicone requires a bit more care than glass. Glass stands up to abrasive cleaning methods that silicone can’t. Before you decide which material to choose for your next pipe, you should consider how often you might expose your piece to wear and tear. There are effective cleaning solutions that clean both glass and silicone painlessly. It never hurts to have both if you feel you still want to use glass but feat traveling with it, or know that you will probably need a backup pipe in the event you do break your glass piece.

Glass Benefits

Glass pipes are popular with smoking connoisseurs. Smooth hits and easy maintenance are only the beginning of why glass is so great to smoke from.

Glass water pipes have set a precedent for all smoking devices in the future. Most of our premium glass water pipes come with percolators to help get smooth and tasty hits. Glass is the best material for percolation, while also being resistant to stains. This means it’s easy to clean, even after you use it a bunch. Achieving the perfect session is not a hard task when you keep your piece clean as a whistle. See how it shines!

Glass pipe design has become an admired art form for many smokers. For some individuals, no other material will ever be able to replace their glass pipe. There are hundreds of water pipe brands that specialize in intricate and complex designs to create incredible smoking experiences.

Silicone Benefits

Silicone has been putting great products on the market. Silicone pipes are great for people who could be prone to accidents, or if you have a history of getting pieces broken. If you have gone through several glass pipes in the past year, it would be smart to try switching to silicone.

The great part is, there are many silicone pieces that work just like glass, for those who are worried about the transition. Silicone bubbler pipes work as a perfect replacement for any glass enthusiast. With water filtration very similar to most glass pipes, this is a perfect addition to any smoking collection.

A benefit of silicone is that it can take a while to get dirty. The material is usually quite opaque which means there will never be discoloration, but this can lead to a lower quality flavor. It’s important to use glass cleaner on your pieces regularly to ensure they provide you with a clean toke.

Only way to truly decide is to buy both and choose your winner.
