The Diverse World of Handpipes

Handpipes come in a stunning variety of shapes, sizes, and styles, each offering a unique experience for smokers. It’s what makes glass so much fun to shop for! Much like their larger counterparts, water pipes, handpipes cater to different needs and preferences, blending function with aesthetics.

Some are designed for simplicity and portability, while others are crafted as intricate works of art, showcasing the skill and creativity of their makers. Whether you’re drawn to sleek, modern designs or eye-catching statement pieces, understanding the options available can make choosing your next tool a more informed and enjoyable process. So, what kinds of handpipes are out there? Let’s take a closer look at the diverse world of handpipes and explore some of the most popular styles.

Sherlock or Gandalf Styles

One of my favorite styles of handpipes is the Sherlock, Wizard, or Gandalf design. This specific style brings a level of elegance to the table, and provides an almost nostalgic feeling because of the references in pop culture. While not always the most portable, they are often functionally impressive with their deep loadable spaces and long necks that give you a smooth hit every time. If you still want portability, you can get the best of both worlds with the mini sherlock from Grav. if you’re far more into the aesthetics of the style, try their full size Gandalf pipe for a fuller experience.

If you’ve never used toys during partnered sex, adding something in can be the first thing that breaks up that routine. Just trying something new often switches up the energy enough, and provides inspiration for exploring your bodies in a new way. Using even a small little vibe like the Vedo Bam adds a new form of pleasure and stimulation to explore.

Bubblers

A fun mix between water and hand pipe, bubblers offer a unique opportunity to benefit from filtration and portability. There’s much variation in this style, but you’ll always get a small chamber for water and the unification of one piece. This sidecar bubbler by PMACK is one example - it has all the benefits of a bubbler with a beautiful intricate glass design. Plus, the sidecar element keeps your face safe from any flame and provides a nice asymmetry.

Classic Spoon

Classics are classic for a reason, and spoon pipes are no exception. With some of the best portability, and ergonomic designs, spoon pipes give you all of the excellent benefits of handpipes in the most familiar style. Make no mistake, just because these are the most classic styles of pipes doesn’t mean they are boring. Actually, they come in some of the most diverse artistic designs. Take this opal and honeycomb design for example, with vibrant colors and geometric patterns it has beautiful aesthetics wrapped up in the classic spoon style.

With so many unique styles to choose from — whether it’s the classic elegance of a sherlock pipe, the smooth filtration of a bubbler, or the simplicity of a trusty spoon pipe — there’s a handpipe out there for everyone. Each type offers its own blend of form and function, making it easy to find one that fits your personal taste and smoking preferences. No matter what you’re drawn to, exploring different handpipes is a great way to enhance your experience and appreciate the artistry behind these versatile tools.
