What a cannabis spoon pipe does

A cannabis spoon pipe is a handheld pipe with a bowl at one end and a mouthpiece at the other. Most models include a small carb hole on the side. You pack ground flower into the bowl, cover the carb, light the flower, and inhale. Release the carb to pull fresh air through the pipe and clear the smoke. Spoon pipes work with dry flower and hash. They do not need a screen unless the bowl has a large hole.

How to use a spoon pipe

  1. Grind the flower into small, even pieces. Avoid packing large chunks that block airflow.
  2. Fill the bowl halfway to three-quarters full. Press the flower down with light pressure.
  3. Hold the pipe with your thumb over the carb hole. Place your mouth on the mouthpiece.
  4. Light the edge of the flower with a lighter or hemp wick. Draw with a slow pull while you light.
  5. Inhale for two to four seconds. Keep the flame above the flower, not buried in it.
  6. Lift your thumb from the carb hole. Inhale to pull fresh air and clear the remaining smoke.
  7. Exhale. Check the bowl. Stir or repack if the top layer is ash.

How to clean a spoon pipe

  1. Empty the bowl into a waste container after the pipe cools.
  2. Scrape loose resin with a pipe tool or a wooden toothpick.
  3. Place the pipe in a sealed bag or container.
  4. Add isopropyl alcohol and a spoonful of coarse salt.
  5. Seal the container and shake for two to three minutes.
  6. Let the pipe soak for 30 minutes if resin remains.
  7. Rinse with warm water and let it dry before use.

Tips for a smooth session

Use a medium grind. Fine powder can pull through the hole and hit your mouth. A coarse grind burns in patches. If the draw feels tight, clear the hole with a pipe cleaner. Clean the pipe every week or two with regular use. Resin builds fast and changes the taste. Store the pipe in a case to keep dust and lint out. Never use a cracked pipe. Heat can make the crack worse and cause burns.
