Best One Hitter Pipes of 2022

One-hitter pipes are a class of pipe that is all about small doses and convenience. A one-hitter or taster is easy to store in your pocket or bag and holds just enough weed to get you in the zone. 

One-hitters come in a vast variety of colors and designs but are all made to deliver a single small bowl of cannabis to the smoker in a straight tube. Many one-hitters are made to be cheap and replaceable, so you don’t have to worry about losing or breaking them. 

Here are the best one-hitters we offer and what makes them such great pocket-sized pipes.

What is a One-Hitter Pipe?

A one-hitter is designed to do precisely what the name says, providing you with one hit of weed in a straight shot glass pipe that is simple to use and carry around. One-hitter pipes are usually about three to four inches long and have an indentation on one side to load ground cannabis and a long hollow mouthpiece. Some one-hitters have glass balls outside to keep them from rolling off tables.

One hitter pipes are an invention that dates back to the dugouts used in the Vietnam war by soldiers. Bamboo tubes were made into simple pipes loaded with weed in one end and smoked from. Eventually, these small pipes were made from metal and then glass when they became more popular.

Benefits of Smoking with One-Hitter Pipes

The best part of smoking with a one-hitter pipe is managing your dosage. A taster only holds a small amount of weed. Most people can hit a one-hitter one to three times before it’s cached, and they can gauge how their high is. Unlike more giant bowls that may have half-burnt material left in the bowl after you are done smoking, a one-hitter is completely smoked before it’s loaded again. 

Aside from limiting your weed intake, one-hitters are also cheap to purchase, and that means you don’t feel too bad if it breaks or you lose your pipe. One-hitter pipes make excellent backup pipes and are good to have stashed away in your bag or other locations in case you find yourself without a way of smoking.

Easy Carry and Storage

A one-hitter pipe is perfect to carry in your pocket, a handbag, or in a dugout. When carrying a taster pipe in your pocket it’s best to keep it in some kind of sleeve to hide the smell. After you use them one hitters can smell strongly of cannabis much the same way a hand pipe does. 

A storage tube is great for keeping one-hitters and it will still fit easily in your pocket. A one-hitter pipe can go just about anywhere in a backpack. When using a dugout the one-hitter is stored in the secure space made for it.

Better Taste

The hits you get from a one-hitter pipe taste better than the smoke from a handpipe or larger pipe like a bubbler. One-hitters taste better because there is less glass for the resin to build up on and resinous flavors are what change the taste of your hit in a pipe. 

When you smoke out of a pipe that has been used many times the resins that build up in the bowl and interior walls of the pipe heat up and release harsh flavors and smells that take away from the fresh dank flavors of a pure green hit. 

Simple to Clean

The small bowl of a one-hitter is cleared each time you smoke and the short interior of the pipe can easily be cleaned to remove the resin. Cleaning a one-hitter involves dropping it in a bowl or other container with isopropyl alcohol to let it soak for a few hours. 

After it soaks, wash it with hot and soapy water to remove any sticky residue and then scrub it with cotton swabs to catch any remaining resins in the mouthpiece or bowl.
