My "Roller" (steamroller-steam). The best hitting pipe I've ever used by far and have lost and bought several now. 40$ from TAG

That is just a standard bowl, hehe. A steamroller has a single straight pipe with a bowl on top. Carb on side is a standard bowl, carb on direct opposite end of mouthpiece is a steamroller.

Mini steamroller. I love steamrollers as they are so easy to clean. I ball up a tiny piece of paper towel and push it through using a paperclip. Cleaning a normal bowl can take hours scraping out resin with a paperclip, but this takes about 15 seconds to clean.

White steamroller. Very inexpensive. Prolly 1/4 gram bowl.

One of the glass items that will not be cleaned. It has an internal chamber that catches debris but can not be cleaned.

I meant the size of the carb, mouth-piece. It hits very hard, very flavorfully if clean, obviously very hot. My love of regular steamrollers is what led me to the love of this bowl. Look at how thin your little green things mouthpiece is. Look at my 1" opening more akin to a steamroller

It has so much drag that if you arent constantly letting air in through that massive carb the smoke is gonna taste awful, a la steamroller, but much faster thus tastier 0.5g easy, 0.7g snaps hit right

I hear ya! I love a bowl with large holes. My taste in pipes has changed over the years. First pipe was expensive and fancy looking. First time attempting to clean it made me want to shatter it on the floor! Boiling it was not going to happen, witnessed too many friends crack a pipe that way plus their house reeks for days afterwards. So I moved on to simple bowls. While the cleaning was much easier, it still took way too long for how often it needed to be done. Felt like half of my smoking time was spent on cleaning pipes. Thus, the steamroller became my new favorite pipe. Large ones are easy to find, especially those plastic ones with the metal bowl. I wanted glass and I wanted it to be small. Basically, I now care much more about functionality and ease of use (especially cleaning) over aesthetics.

The pipe I showed above has tiny holes, but it was the only mini steamroller the local smoke shop had. The kid working there didn't even know what a steamroller was, lol. He knew you could put it in the freezer though, something I will never do since it is always in use. I would much rather the hole be larger than to have the option to freeze it. Not bad for $20 though. Oh well, next pipe will be better.

my oldest best friend and one i talk to/see/smoke w/ most had a brother who was a roadie for panic for a while and had a 5k+ piece I can't remember. Mid 2000s. Massive bubbler that sat on your lap and took up about as much space as a backpack with so many different flares/handles.

That huge carb and pocket size mean it can get damn near completely clean in 10ish min w/ a paperclip.


thick ass glass . com, under spoons it is specifcally the only one that says "LARGE CARB MOUTH FUNCTION" to stand out. $40

I still use the ol one hitters. U know, the aluminum pipes that look like a cigarette and come with a wooden stash box. Early versions were a brass pipe/ baseball bat.

Don't know why, but 3 loads with that thing gets me higher than half a joint.
Perfect for keeping the buzz going, without rolling another joint.
