From smoother hits to easier cleaning, the right add-ons can make every session better.
In this guide, we’ll break down the must-have accessories every pipe enthusiast should have in their setup.
Pokers
A clogged pipe can ruin a good session, and that’s where a poker comes in. This simple tool clears out ash and resin buildup, ensures smooth airflow, and even helps pack your bowl for an even burn. You can also use it while lighting up to stir the herb, making sure it burns evenly for a better, more flavorful hit. A small tool with a big impact—every smoker needs one!
Pipe Bowls
Weeday offers different types of pipe bowls to cater to various preferences:
- 9-Hole Bowl – Features a built-in screen for superior filtration and a smoother smoking experience.
- Mini Pipe Bowl – Ideal for small sessions, perfect for those who prefer micro-dosing.
- Regular Bowl – Designed for smooth airflow, providing balanced combustion and even burning.
Pipe Cleaning Tools
Regular maintenance is key to keeping your pipe in its peak condition. A good cleaning kit ensures your pipe stays free of resin buildup and delivers fresh, flavorful hits every time. A proper cleaning kit should include:
Cotton Swabs
Ideal for cleaning small corners and removing tar from the bowl.
Cleaning Pouches
Zip-lock pouches are commonly used for soaking your pipe with the cleaning solution for deep cleaning.
Cleaning Solutions
Specialized formulas or DIY options like isopropyl alcohol and salt work well to dissolve resin and grime.
Pipe Cleaners
Flexible, bristle-lined wires that are perfect for reaching deep into the pipe and scrubbing away residue.
Nylon Brushes
A long brush that combines a long, slender design with durable nylon bristles for a thorough clean without damaging glass surfaces.
Herb Grinders
A finely ground herb provides even burning and smoother hits. Using a premium grinder enhances your pipe experience by breaking down your herb into a more consistent, and fine texture. There are different types of grinders, including:
- 2-Piece Grinders – Simple, compact, and easy to use for quick grinding.
- 4-Piece Grinders – Equipped with a kief catcher to collect the fine pollen from your herbs.
- Electric Grinders – Battery-powered options that grind with minimal effort.
Activated Carbon Filters
Activated carbon filters help make each session cleaner and smoother by trapping impurities and toxins before they reach your lungs. Some pipes come with an extra filter holder to securely keep the filter in place. Benefits include:
- Reduced Harshness – Carbon filters absorb unwanted tar and chemicals, making hits less irritating.
- Improved Flavor – Eliminates unwanted tastes and odors, enhancing the natural flavors of your herbs.
- Easier Cleaning – Helps keep your pipe cleaner by capturing residue before it builds up inside the pipe body.
Pipe Screens
One of the simplest yet most effective accessories for a pipe is a pipe screen. These small, mesh filters sit inside the bowl to prevent ash and debris from pulling through into your mouth or clogging the pipe. There are a few common types:
- Metal Screens – Typically made from brass or stainless steel, metal screens are durable and effective in keeping ash out of your mouth.
- Glass Screens – Also known as honeycomb or daisy screens, these reusable accessories sit inside the bowl and provide excellent filtration without altering flavor.
One Hitter
A final essential in the pipe lineup is the one hitter pipe. This compact and discreet pipe is designed for quick, single-use hits—perfect for those who want a portable and no-fuss option.
Conclusion
A great smoking session isn’t just about the pipe—it’s about optimizing your setup with the right accessories. Whether it’s better filtration, improved portability, or enhanced flavor, these essential accessories can make a world of difference.
