Smoke Fiends Juice Pineapple Glass Pipe

The Smoke Fiends Juice Pineapple Glass Pipe is a character-shaped borosilicate hand pipe: a pineapple character in coloured glass, the fruit forming the body of the pipe. It's small, colourful and priced as an impulse buy rather than a centrepiece — the sort of thing that goes in the basket next to a proper bong, or gets bought as a present for someone who'd appreciate a pineapple with a face.

Smoke Fiends make a whole family of these characters. Each one is a different shape, so they collect well as a set and no two sit in the hand quite the same way. The shaped body gives a decent grip.

How it performs

Character pipes get bought for the look, but this one works properly. It's a conventional spoon-pipe layout underneath the shape: bowl at one end, mouthpiece at the other, carb hole on the side to control the draw. Borosilicate glass rather than soft glass, so it handles heat and the odd knock better than the price suggests.

Looking after it

Hand pipes clog faster than bongs because there's no water in the way. A pipe screen in the bowl stops most of it; a short isopropyl-and-salt shake once a week does the rest. Our guide on how to clean a bong covers the same method at bong scale — for a pipe, halve everything and it still works.

Frequently asked questions

Is it borosilicate or soft glass?
Borosilicate — the same material as a good bong. It handles heat far better than soft-glass novelty pipes.

Where's the carb?
On the side. Cover it to draw, release it to clear.

Does it need a screen?
It works without one, but a gauze keeps the bowl clear and is the cheapest upgrade you can make. They're in our gauzes collection.

Is it a gift piece?
It's one of the most-bought-as-a-present things we stock, for obvious reasons.
