It holds the squiggle linework and gives you a wide, comfortable grip. Smoke passes through it on the way to the mouthpiece, and it's part of the same solid piece of borosilicate glass.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eWhich line color comes with each option?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eRed and Blue come with green squiggle lines in the orb. Peach comes with blue lines, and Periwinkle comes with orange lines. Because the linework is done by hand, a shade can shift slightly in a given batch, but these pairings are what we see in our current stock.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eHow long is the orb spoon?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eThis spoon pipe is 5.5 inches long from the back of the head to the tip. That's a bit longer than a standard pocket spoon. It fits in a jacket pocket or a bag, though the orb makes it wider than a straight pipe of the same length.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eIs the orb hard to clean?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eThe orb takes a little extra shaking, but it isn't hard to clean. Fill a zip bag with isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt, add the pipe, and shake so the salt tumbles through the orb. Rinse with warm water. A pipe cleaner reaches the narrow parts at each end.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eWhat does frit head and mouth mean?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eFrit head and mouth means the bowl end and the mouthpiece are coated in crushed color glass. On this pipe the frit has white flecks mixed into the main color. The middle stays clear so the squiggle lines inside the orb are easy to see.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eDoes the maria ring do anything?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eThe maria ring is a raised clear band where the head meets the orb. It gives the joint extra glass thickness and acts as a visual break between the frit head and the linework. It also stops your fingers from sliding toward the hot bowl.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eDoes it have a carb hole?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes, this pipe has a carb on the side of the head. Cover it while you light and draw, then lift your thumb to clear the smoke from the orb and stem. The orb holds a little more smoke, so a quick carb release helps it clear fully.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eComplete Your Setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore more long spoons in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hand-pipes\"\u003ehand pipes\u003c\/a\u003e collection, grab one of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/grinders\"\u003egrinders\u003c\/a\u003e, stock up on our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cleaning-supplies\"\u003ecleaning supplies\u003c\/a\u003e, or check our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/flower-accessories\"\u003eflower accessories\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\", \"@type\": \"FAQPage\", \"mainEntity\": [{\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What is the orb in the middle of this pipe?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"The orb is a rounded bulge of clear glass in the middle of the stem.
