Chillum Pipes

What is a Chillum, or One Hitter?

Sometimes called a one hitter, chillum pipes are one of the most minimalist and portable smoking tools available. It’s a straight, cylindrical pipe used for quick, discreet hits without the bulk of a full hand pipe - which is already pretty small and convenient to begin with! 

Chillums come from India but have made their way into modern glass culture as the go-to piece for those who want something simple, efficient, and easy to pocket. They’re perfect for on-the-go sessions, be it a hike or road trip. But they’re great for home use, too - super versatile.

What is the Difference Between a Pipe and a Chillum?

Our traditional glass pipes are great in their own right, but they’re not to be confused with chillums. Pipes offer more chamber space, elaborate designs, and are often better suited for extended sessions. But they also take up more room and require more effort to clean.

On the other hand, chillums are all about fast, fuss-free hits. There’s no carb hole. Instead, a straight-through airway delivers powerful, direct hits with no frills. They're easier to stash, simpler to load, and faster to use when time or discretion matters.

Our advice? You need both in your arsenal! They serve totally different purposes, although both can help you harness the full potential of your flower. You really can’t go wrong either way when you shop chillums and cool pipes at Badass Glass.

Size Matters

Chillums range in size from compact 2-inch one hitters to longer 4-5 inch designs with more cooling space. Shorter chillums are easier to conceal, while longer options deliver slightly cooler hits.

Glass Thickness

Look for thick borosilicate glass to ensure your chillum can withstand daily use and the occasional drop. Thicker glass also feels more solid in the hand. 

You won’t have to worry about this at Badass Glass - every piece we sell checks this box (except for our stone pipes and ceramic weed pipes, of course).

From clear tubes to colorful swirls or custom decals, your chillum should mirror your taste. Choose a design that makes you want to reach for it every day.

Cleaning Ease

Chillums are easy to clean with a simple soak and rinse by their very nature since they’re just straight tubes. But, you should avoid overly intricate shapes that make maintenance harder unless you’re up for the task.
