What Kind Of Smoking Are You Doing?

Are you going to keep this piece at home, or is it going to travel? Is this a stealth pocket friend, or a proud smoking centerpiece? Is it for flower or dab? Efficiency or effect?
Home vs. Travel
If you are looking for a small piece to take from place to place, go for strong or thick glass, and get a carrying case if it’s bigger. A nice glass pipe from JP Smoke Shop like the Devil Pipe..

Even small bongs can come with a lined case that will keep it safe for travel. A travel piece should be a smooth design without weak points that could break or snap if it fell. It should also be easily cleaned and drained if a water pipe, although there are now even spill-proof pocket bubbler for concentrates!

If it’s a home piece, does it need to be concealed, or will it be able to stay out in the open? That will play into size, and possibly style. Everyone knows the flower vase joke.
What Kind Of Smoker Are You?
There are Steamroller, straightliners, Sherlock’s, and Gandalf’s. Bubblers, double bubbles, diffusers: the options can seem overwhelming.
Do not, under any circumstances, waste your money on one of these:

If it looks like it will break in your hand, has a big bowl with a tiny mouth, or is nothing more than a glass straw, and comes with a paper rose in it from the gas station, it is not a Valentine’s Day pipe for your girlfriend: it’s a crack or Meth pipe. Designed to break into a million pieces with the smallest rap, in order to destroy evidence, these things are junk! Show up with one of these, and your smoking buddies are going to start hiding the silverware.
Harsh And Hot vs. Cool And Smooth

Now when it comes to Herb, if you are a hard hitter, digging those huge clouds zapped straight into your lungs, go for a form of steamroller, or a larger pipe with a carb.
If you want a smooth, cool smoke, go for a bong, or at least a bubbler. Each time it goes through the water, the smoke cools and gets smoother. There are even multi-chamber bubbler, if you want overkill!
