The 3.5″ Pink/Purple Chillum is a glass hand pipe made for flower smokers who need something that actually fits in a pocket. At 3.5 inches long, it's sized for quick sessions without feeling cramped in your hand. The frit mouthpiece adds texture for grip and a bit of visual flair, and you get your pick of pink or purple glass to match your vibe.
Key benefits

- No-fuss flower smoking — pack the bowl, light it, draw. No carbs, no moving parts, nothing to overthink
- Pink or purple glass — pick the color that fits your collection or mood
- Backup-friendly — grab one for the glovebox, one for the hiking pack, one for the coffee table drawer
Best for
This chillum fits anyone who wants a simple flower pipe that travels without drama. Good for festival weekends, trail sessions, or keeping something in the car for spontaneous moments. Also works if you're building up a rotation of hand pipes for group hangs or just want a spare that won't sting if it takes a tumble.
How it works
Chillums are about as simple as smoking gets. Grind your flower, pack it into the wider bowl end, hold the pipe horizontally or angled slightly downward, and light while pulling air through the mouthpiece. Smoke travels straight from bowl to mouth—no water filtration, no carb holes, no detours.
The frit mouthpiece does more than look interesting. That textured surface gives your lips something to grip, which matters when you're passing it around or holding it at an angle. Since there's no carb to release, you control your hit entirely through draw speed and flame time. Pull slower for cooler smoke, faster for thicker hits.
One thing about straight-tube designs: smoke gets warm quickly on longer draws. Keep your hits short and you'll avoid that harsh throat feeling. This isn't a piece for marathon sessions—it's built for quick, efficient moments.
Maintenance is straightforward. Run a pipe cleaner through after sessions to clear loose ash. For deeper cleaning, soak in isopropyl alcohol for 20-30 minutes, rinse thoroughly, and let it dry completely before using again. Chillums clog faster than pipes with carbs because there's no quick airflow release to blow debris through, so staying ahead of resin buildup keeps the experience smooth.

Fit and compatibility
This is a standalone piece—no attachments, no accessories, no adapters needed. Works with any dry herb as long as you grind it fine enough to pack the bowl without bits falling through into your mouth. A medium grind works best. Not designed for concentrates, oils, or liquids.
Limitations
Glass breaks. At 3.5 inches, this chillum handles normal pocket carry fine, but drop it on concrete and you're sweeping up pieces. If you're hiking rough terrain or prone to butter fingers, toss it in a small padded case.
The no-carb design means you can't clear the chamber instantly like you would with a silicone pipe or traditional spoon. Some people prefer that controlled, steady draw. Others find it limiting. Know your preference before committing.
Smoke temperature is the other trade-off. Short tube plus no water equals warm hits on longer draws. This piece rewards quick, efficient pulls rather than deep lung-filling rips.
FAQ
Can I choose the exact color?
Color depends on current stock. If you need specifically pink or specifically purple, reach out to Oil Slick before ordering to confirm what's available. Otherwise you might get whichever is in the bin that day.
What exactly is a frit mouthpiece?
Frit is crushed glass that gets melted onto the pipe surface during glassblowing. It creates a bumpy, textured finish that adds grip and catches light differently than smooth glass. Purely aesthetic and functional—doesn't change how the pipe smokes, just makes it easier to hold and nicer to look at.
How often should I clean this?
Depends on your pace. Daily smokers should clean weekly, maybe more. Once or twice a week users can stretch it to every couple weeks. The narrow tube clogs faster than wider pieces, so if you notice airflow getting tight, it's time. Don't wait until nothing comes through.
Is 3.5 inches too small?
For most hands, no. It's long enough to keep the flame away from your face and let smoke cool slightly before hitting your throat. Short enough to disappear in a pocket. If you've got particularly large hands or prefer more length between your fingers and the bowl, look at 4-5 inch options. But 3.5 inches is a standard, comfortable size for the majority of people.
Can I use this for dabs or concentrates?
No. Chillums are flower-only pieces. Concentrates need heat retention that glass tubes can't provide—you'd just waste product and make a mess. For portable concentrate options, check out nectar collectors instead.
Will it survive in my pocket?
Under normal conditions, yes. Glass at this thickness handles regular pocket carry, keys bumping against it, that kind of thing. What it won't survive: sitting on it, dropping it on tile floors, throwing your jacket across the room. A small padded pouch eliminates the worry if you're rough on your stuff.
What's the difference between a chillum and a one-hitter?
The terms get used interchangeably, and honestly the distinction is fuzzy. Traditionally, one-hitters are designed for single small bowls—just enough for one hit. Chillums can hold a bit more and support multiple pulls before repacking. This piece works as both depending on how you load it. Pack light for a quick solo hit, fill the bowl fuller for a couple draws. For more context on pipe styles and how they compare, Leafly's consumption guide breaks it down well.
