3.5″ Silicone Hand Pipe w/ Metal Bowl & Lid
$ 1.50
The 3.5-inch Silicone Hand Pipe is a compact, nearly-indestructible spoon pipe built for people who are tired of replacing broken glass. With a removable metal bowl and snap-on lid, it's designed for portability and protection—toss it in a bag, pocket, or cupholder without worrying about ash spills or shattered pieces. At 3.5 inches, it's small enough to travel light but still feels substantial in hand.
Key Benefits
- Drop it, forget it — Flexible silicone body bounces back from falls that would shatter glass pipes
- No more pocket ash disasters — Metal lid snaps over the bowl to contain residue between sessions
- Easy breakdown for cleaning — Removable metal bowl pops out for quick rinses and deep cleans
- Fits anywhere — 3.5-inch length slips into jacket pockets, small bags, or car cupholders without bulk
- Heat stays at the bowl — Silicone body insulates your hand from the metal bowl's heat
- Budget-friendly backup — At this price point, keep one in the car, one at a friend's place, and one at home
Best For
This pipe works best for people who prioritize portability and durability over aesthetics. It's ideal for festival-goers, travelers, outdoor smokers, or anyone who's broken one too many glass pipes. If you want something you can actually throw in a backpack without a padded case, this is it. Also solid as a loaner piece—you won't stress if someone drops it.
How to Use It
Pack the metal bowl with ground flower, covering the screen holes without overpacking. Light while drawing air through the mouthpiece, using your thumb to cover and release the carb hole on the side to control airflow. The carb lets you clear the chamber without removing the bowl—standard spoon pipe mechanics.
After use, snap the metal lid over the bowl to contain ash and odor. When you're ready to clean, pull the metal bowl out of the silicone body. The bowl rinses under hot water or soaks in isopropyl alcohol. The silicone body wipes clean or gets tossed in a baggie with alcohol for a soak. Both parts dry quickly and reassemble in seconds.
The 3.5-inch length means less cooling distance than larger pipes, so hits can run a bit warmer. Taking shorter, slower draws helps. If you're used to bigger hand pipes with more airflow, this one feels tighter—adjust your draw speed accordingly.

Limitations & Notes
The metal bowl heats up during use—don't touch it immediately after a session. Let it cool before removing the lid or disassembling. Silicone is heat-resistant but not heatproof; keep flames away from the silicone body itself.
This isn't a show piece. The silicone construction and compact size prioritize function over form. If you want something with aesthetic appeal for home use, consider a larger glass pipe. But if you need something that survives real-world use—camping trips, concerts, daily commutes—this handles it.
Color options vary by availability. Check current stock before ordering if you need a specific color.
FAQ
Can I clean this in the dishwasher?
Not recommended. The metal bowl is fine, but dishwasher detergent can leave residue on silicone. Hand wash with dish soap or soak in isopropyl alcohol, then rinse thoroughly.
Does the bowl come out easily, or does it get stuck?
It pulls out with light pressure. The silicone grips the bowl securely enough for normal use but releases easily when you twist and pull. If it feels stuck, wiggle it gently—it won't break.
How does the lid stay on? Is it secure?
The metal lid snaps over the bowl's rim and stays put with friction. It's not airtight, but it's tight enough to prevent ash from spilling in a bag or pocket. Don't expect it to seal odors completely—just to contain debris.
Is 3.5 inches too small? Will it get too hot?
It's compact, so hits are warmer than a 5- or 6-inch pipe. The silicone insulates your hand from the bowl's heat, but the smoke itself has less distance to cool. Slow, controlled draws help. It's fine for casual use; heavy smokers might want something bigger.
What happens if I drop it on concrete?
The silicone body flexes on impact and doesn't crack. The metal bowl might dent if you drop it from a serious height onto a hard surface, but it won't shatter. That's the whole point—this pipe survives drops that would obliterate glass.
Can I use this with a torch or for concentrates?
No. This is a flower pipe. The metal bowl isn't designed for direct torch heat, and silicone isn't meant for high-temp dabbing. Stick to lighters and dry herb. For concentrates, check out nectar collectors or silicone dab rigs with proper quartz or titanium nails.
Does it taste like silicone when I smoke?
Quality food-grade silicone shouldn't affect flavor. If you notice a rubbery taste, clean the pipe thoroughly—residue from manufacturing or previous sessions can linger. After a few uses and cleans, any initial taste fades. The metal bowl heats the flower, not the silicone, so flavor impact is minimal with proper care.
