The 5″ Dragon Fruit Hand Pipe from What You Need is a sculpted glass hand pipe built for people who want their piece to hit well and look wild on the table. It’s perfect if you like fruity, tropical vibes but still want a straightforward, no-fuss daily driver. At 5 inches (127mm) long, it’s compact enough to toss in a bag but long enough to keep the heat away from your face.
Why You’ll Reach For It
-
Looks like actual fruit on your tray — Sculpted dragon fruit details give you a piece that doubles as decor when it’s not in your hand.
-
Cooler, smoother hits — The 5-inch (127mm) length gives smoke a bit more travel time so you’re not getting cooked on every pull.
-
Easy to pass around — Simple hand pipe form factor means anyone at the sesh can pick it up and understand how it works instantly.
-
Stash-friendly size — Big enough to feel solid, small enough to tuck into a pocket or case without being a hassle.
-
Less cleaning drama — Straightforward internals are easier to rinse and soak compared to multi-chamber or heavily perced pieces.
-
Fun upgrade from basic spoons — All the function of a standard spoon pipe with way more personality.
Best For
This piece is made for smokers who want a little art with their ashtray — people who are tired of plain clear glass and cheap novelty pipes that don’t actually work well. It’s a solid pick if you rotate between a main rig at home and a small hand pipe you can grab on the way out the door, or if you already collect colorful smoke shop products and want something that stands out on the shelf.
How to Use It (and Keep It Happy)
Function-wise, this is a classic glass hand pipe: bowl on one end, mouthpiece on the other, carb on the side. If you’ve ever used a spoon-style pipe, you’ll be right at home here. The sculpted dragon fruit body doesn’t complicate anything; it just looks better while you’re doing your thing.
For cleaning, treat it like any other glass spoon: let it cool, then tap or dump out any ash. When it starts to look cloudy or resin builds up, soak it in isopropyl alcohol, rinse with warm water, and let it dry completely before you pack it again. Setting it on a nonstick dab mat while you clean or reload keeps sticky bits off your table.

Where It Fits In Your Setup
The 5″ Dragon Fruit Hand Pipe works perfectly as a grab-and-go piece when you don’t feel like pulling out a big bong or full rig. It can easily be your main piece if you like simple, direct hits, or it can be the fun “show-off” pipe in a larger collection. If you’re building a full kit, you can pair this with smell-safe storage and packaging so your herb stays fresh between seshes.
FAQ
- How big is this pipe really?
It measures about 5 inches (127mm) from mouthpiece to bowl, which is that sweet spot between pocketable and comfortable. It feels solid in the hand without being bulky. - Is every dragon fruit pipe exactly the same?
Each one follows the same sculpted dragon fruit theme, but because they’re glass pieces, minor variations in color placement and details are normal. That’s part of the charm — yours won’t look like every other pipe on the table. - Can I choose the exact colorway?
This design generally sticks to the dragon fruit-inspired palette, but specific color mixes or patterns aren’t selectable. If you need a very particular aesthetic, you might want to grab a couple different glass jars & packaging to match the rest of your stash setup as well. - Is this good as a daily driver?
Yes, the size and simplicity make it totally workable as a daily driver. Just keep up on basic cleaning so the airflow stays open and the design doesn’t get buried under resin. - How fragile is it?
It’s made from glass, so treat it like any other glass hand pipe: avoid drops, don’t toss it loose into a bag with keys and metal, and let it cool before rinsing. If you want an unbreakable backup, you can always add a piece from our silicone pipes lineup to your kit. - What’s the bowl size like?
The bowl is a comfortable, standard hand-pipe size — big enough for a few good pulls without being a huge party bowl. It’s ideal for solo use or sharing with one or two friends. - What else should I grab with this?
A simple case or pouch, a lighter, and a basic cleaning routine will keep this pipe in rotation for a long time. If you like themed setups, you can round things out with matching tools or small accessories so your whole tray looks as dialed in as this pipe.
The 5″ Dragon Fruit Hand Pipe is the kind of piece that makes people say “wait, let me see that” before you even pass it. It’s functional, easy to live with, and stylish enough to earn a permanent spot in your lineup. If you’re building out a full fruit-inspired or colorful glass collection, it also plays nice alongside compact nectar collectors and other fun glass.
