3.5″ Fume Body Frit Head Hand Pipe

The Fume Body Frit Head Hand Pipe is a 3.5-inch glass spoon pipe built for smokers who want something compact, colorful, and cheap enough to keep as a backup. Fumed glass changes color over time as resin builds up, so this little guy gets more character with each session. At five bucks, it's the kind of piece you can toss in a bag without sweating it.

Key Benefits

• Pocket-friendly at 3.5 inches — fits in a jacket pocket or small pouch without making a statement
• Fumed glass shows its history — the more you use it, the more the colors shift and develop
• Frit head design adds texture and visual depth — not just a plain glass bowl
• Multiple color options available — grab a few and rotate or share with friends
• No water, no setup — just pack, light, and go

Best For

This pipe is made for casual smokers who need something portable and low-commitment. Great for camping, festivals, or as a loaner piece when friends stop by. If you're the type who keeps a spare in the car or your work bag, this is that spare. Also solid for anyone new to glass pipes who wants to try fumed glass without dropping real money.

How to Use It

Using a spoon pipe is dead simple. Pack your ground flower into the bowl at the frit end, cover the carb hole on the side with your thumb, light the bowl while inhaling slowly, then release the carb to clear the chamber. The frit head design means the bowl has some texture and visual interest, but functionally it works like any other spoon.

Keep the carb covered while lighting to build up smoke in the chamber, then release it to pull everything through. The shorter length means the smoke doesn't have much distance to cool, so hits can be a bit warmer than a longer pipe or a bubbler. If you're new to pipes, take it slow until you know how it hits.

Fumed glass starts out clear or lightly tinted, then shifts to deeper golds, purples, and blues as resin accumulates. Don't be surprised if it looks different after a few weeks of regular use — that's the point. Some people clean them to reset the color cycle, others let them ride.

Care & Cleaning

Let it cool, then scrape out the bowl with a poker or paperclip. For deeper cleans, soak in isopropyl alcohol (90% or higher works best), add coarse salt, shake gently, rinse, and dry before reuse. The frit texture can trap resin, so you might need to soak it longer than a smooth pipe. If you want to preserve the color shift, clean it less often. If you want to reset it back to the original fumed look, clean it thoroughly.

What to Expect

This is a budget piece. It's not going to have thick walls or intricate lampwork, but that's not what you're paying for. The fumed glass gives it some personality, and the frit head adds a bit of visual interest. It's light, it's small, and it does the job without trying to be fancy.

Because it's short, the smoke doesn't cool much before it hits your lungs. If you're used to bongs or longer pipes, you'll notice. It's not harsh, but it's direct. The bowl is small, so it's better for solo sessions or quick one-hitters rather than passing around a group all night.

FAQ

What does "fumed glass" mean?

Fumed glass is made by vaporizing precious metals (usually silver or gold) onto molten glass during production. As you use the pipe and resin builds up, the fumed layer reacts and changes color — golds, purples, blues. It's a living finish that shifts over time.

Will the colors be exactly like the product photo?

No guarantees. These are handmade glass pieces, and fuming results vary. The photo shows a general idea, but your pipe might have slightly different color tones or frit patterns. That's part of the charm with artisan glasswork.

How much does the bowl hold?

It's a small bowl, enough for a personal hit or two. Not designed for group sessions unless everyone's cool with frequent repacks. If you're looking for something that holds more, consider a larger spoon or a bubbler.

Is this pipe durable?

It's glass, so it's not indestructible. The walls are thin at this price point, so it won't survive a hard drop onto concrete. Treat it like the cheap backup it is — great to have around, but not something you'd cry over if it breaks.

Can I clean it without losing the color change?

If you clean it thoroughly with alcohol and salt, you'll strip most of the resin and reset the color closer to the original fumed look. If you want to keep the color shift, just scrape out the bowl and rinse with hot water instead of soaking in alcohol.

Does it come with a carb cap or screen?

No. It's just the pipe. If you want a screen to keep flower from pulling through, grab some separately. The frit texture helps a bit, but it's not a replacement for a screen if you grind your flower fine.

Is this safe for travel?

It's small enough to hide in a bag or pocket, but it's still glass. Wrap it in a sock or small case if you're traveling. And obviously, know your local laws before carrying paraphernalia around.
