GLASS SCREENS – 10 PACK

Glass screens are the simplest upgrade you can make to any hand pipe or bowl. This 10-pack gives you a stash of replacements so you're never stuck pulling ash through your piece or dealing with clogged airways. Made from borosilicate glass, these flower-shaped screens sit in your bowl, block debris, and let smoke flow clean without the metallic taste you get from brass or steel alternatives.

Why glass screens beat the alternatives

  • No metallic aftertaste — pure glass means you taste your herb, not your hardware
  • Reusable with proper care — torch or soak to clean, unlike disposable metal screens that corrode
  • Universal fit — the daisy shape flexes into most standard bowl sizes
  • 10-pack coverage — keep extras in your stash box, car kit, or travel bag so you're never without
  • Multiple colors included — mix of colors adds a subtle custom touch to your setup
  • Heat resistant borosilicate — handles direct flame without cracking or releasing chemicals

Best for

Daily smokers who've had it with ash pull-through and want a cleaner hit without constantly repacking. If you use hand pipes or spoon pipes with wider bowls, glass screens keep your airway clear and your sessions smoother. Also solid for anyone who's sensitive to the taste metal screens leave behind—glass is inert, so it won't affect flavor even after repeated heating.

How to use them

Drop a glass screen into your empty bowl, daisy-side up. The flower shape creates small gaps around the edges for airflow while the center blocks herb and ash from getting sucked through. Pack your flower on top like normal. The screen stays in place during your session—no need to push it down or adjust.

When it gets gunky (and it will), you've got options. For light residue, a quick pass with a butane torch burns off buildup and leaves the glass clear. For heavier tar, drop your screens in isopropyl alcohol for 20-30 minutes, then rinse with warm water and let them dry completely before reuse. With regular cleaning, a single glass screen can last months. That said, glass is glass—if one cracks or chips, toss it and grab a fresh one from the pack.

One thing to note: glass screens work best in bowls with relatively flat bottoms. If your piece has a deep conical bowl, the screen might sit too low to be effective. For those setups, you may need to let some herb build up underneath first, or look into a different screen style.

Glass vs. metal screens

Metal screens are cheaper upfront but come with tradeoffs. Brass and steel screens can oxidize over time, leaving a metallic taste that gets worse the more you use them. They also tend to clog faster and are basically disposable—most people toss them after a few sessions. Glass screens cost a bit more per unit but clean up easily and last way longer with basic maintenance. If you care about flavor purity, glass is the move.

Frequently asked questions

What size bowls do these fit?

The daisy shape is flexible enough to work with most standard hand pipe and spoon pipe bowls. They sit best in bowls with relatively flat bottoms. If your bowl is unusually small (under 10mm opening) or has a deep conical shape, they might not be ideal.

Can I reuse glass screens or are they disposable?

Definitely reusable. Clean them with a torch or soak in isopropyl alcohol when residue builds up. With proper care, each screen can last for months. Just replace any that crack or chip—damaged glass isn't worth the risk.

Do glass screens affect the taste of my smoke?

Nope. Borosilicate glass is inert, meaning it doesn't release any flavor or chemicals when heated. That's the main advantage over metal screens, which can leave a metallic aftertaste, especially as they age and oxidize.

How do I clean glass screens?

Two easy methods. For light buildup, hold the screen with tweezers and pass a butane torch flame over it until residue burns off. For heavier tar, soak in isopropyl alcohol for 20-30 minutes, rinse with warm water, and let dry completely before your next session.

Will the screen fall through my bowl when I clear it?

Unlikely. The daisy shape is designed to be wider than the airway hole in most standard bowls. Once herb is packed on top, the screen stays put. If you have an unusually wide-holed bowl, pack a small amount of herb first to create a base, then add the screen.

What colors are included in the pack?

Colors are assorted and vary by pack. Expect a mix—you might get clear, colored, or a combination. The color is purely aesthetic and doesn't affect function or durability.

Are glass screens better than using a nug plug?

Different tools for different preferences. A nug plug (packing a small piece of herb to block the hole) works in a pinch but burns away as you smoke, eventually letting ash through. Glass screens stay in place the whole session and keep your airway consistently clear. For daily use, screens are more reliable.
