Cannabis smoking has come a long way. Now, you can get lost in a variety of paraphernalia, with vaporizers, glass bongs, dab rigs, and bubblers, being some of the most popular ones.

However, there is a type of pipe that has largely gone unnoticed in all the noise. It is known as the one-hitter pipe, and it is a diamond in the rough. Being lesser known doesn’t mean it isn’t useful. In fact, having one means that you can quickly get high without blowing your cover.

If you’re one of the people that want to get high discreetly, then a one-hitter pipe is the perfect paraphernalia for you. Read on to know more about it, what its benefits are, and how to use one.

WHAT IS A ONE-HITTER PIPE?

A one-hitter pipe is one of the many cannabis accessories you can buy on the market. They are perfect for people who want to savour the pleasure of having a fast, small hit discreetly. Not only does this help you save stash, it actively helps control the dosage.

It keeps things simple, clean and makes it more convenient for you to enjoy your session.

Most one-hitters can hold a single hit of cannabis. They’re usually made from metal or glass and have a tube-like shape with the mouthpiece and bowl on its opposite sides.

Some one-hitters come as a standalone device, while there are also those that come as part of a dugout set. Dugouts have more features but are heavier than the standalone options. These allow you to twist its end, making it easier for you to pack it.

One-hitters also come in different styles, from stylish-looking glass bowls to low-profile cigarette lookalikes.

HOW TO USE A ONE-HITTER PIPE?

Step 1

The first thing you need to do is to pack ground cannabis into your one-hitter’s end. See to it that it’s packed tight, but not too much, so as not to damage its edges. Make sure that the bud will stay in place when you tilt the pipe horizontally.

Step 2

Position the mouthpiece at the centre of your lips. Gently pull it as you light the cannabis found at the pipe’s end.

Step 3

Gently inhale the smoke, hold it, and feel the relaxing sensation. Slowly release the smoke once you feel the need to exhale it. Tap the one-hitter gently, enough to move the ash. This leaves it ready for the next hit. Alternatively, there’s another way to prepare it for its future use. You can clear the pipe by simply blowing right into the mouthpiece.

It's a simple no-frills process for getting high, but there is magic in the simplicity, keeping things smooth and discreet.

BENEFITS OF USING A ONE-HITTER PIPE

1. Low Profile

One of the best things about one-hitter pipes is their low-profile design. It makes them perfect if you want to have a discreet session. One-hitters usually come with a design that looks like a cigarette.

Walk around the park or stroll along the beach while smoking your favourite flower, and you are much less likely to get noticed. You’ll look like someone who’s just smoking a cigarette.

2. Less Odor

Another cool thing about one-hitters is that it doesn’t produce that much smell. This happens because you are taking a singular hit. Compare that to other smoking methods where the smoke scatters persistently in the air around you.

This doesn't mean that no smell is produced, but it becomes a lot more manageable. You still need to be discreet, but the lack of persistent smoke allows you to choose your timing. If you’re concerned about that, then you might as well try using a sploof.

A sploof functions like a cannabis muffler which filters out the aroma every time you exhale. And don’t worry about the price because you can create one yourself using a toilet paper tube and dryer sheets! Though, a sploof itself is not a visually discreet device to use.

3. Supply Conservation

If saving enough stash for tomorrow is your thing, then using a one hitter can help you achieve it. As they work in singular hits, you can actively manage your high and thus use less weed. You know exactly how high you are and whether you want more with each hit — without the drawback of already having heated cannabis as you do with a joint or a vape.

4. Easy to Use

One-hitters are all about convenience. These are so small that you can literally carry them with you everywhere you go. Just put them in your pocket or perhaps tuck it nicely in your purse. We assure you, it won't bug you out. Simply pull it out whenever you need it, and you're good to go.

But take note that you have to pack the one-hitter every time you’re through with one hit. If you’re not that cool with that, or want to use in a place you can't do this discreetly, then we suggest you use a vape pen. This saves you the hassle of reloading it.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS

Make sure that you don’t grind your stash too finely because there’s a huge tendency for it to turn to ash a second after you light it. This also helps make sure you won’t inhale ash.

See to it that the weed is broken up properly so that it won’t clog up inside the tube.

It should be small enough to fit into the bowl, but large enough for it to stay out of the pipe. There’s little risk of a mouth full of ash if you do this.

An easy way to pack your one-hitter is to push your bowl carefully into your stash and twist the pipe a couple of times. Do this a few times and you should have a packed bowl. Just be sure not to do it too much, or it will be too compact and restrict airflow.

ONE-HITTER: FINAL VERDICT

One-hitter pipes are indeed a convenient invention. Not only do they make cannabis smoking easier on the go, but it also makes your sessions safer, more manageable and more discreet. The only drawbacks are that you have to reload each time, making them a bit fiddly if you want to be taking hit after hit.

Cookies are small information files that notify your computer of previous interactions with our website. These cookies are stored on your hard drive, not on our website.

This allows our website to function more quickly and remember aspects related to your previous visits (such as your username), making your experience more convenient.

SECTION 5 – THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Third-party services are required to conduct transactions and provide our services. In general, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to enable them to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies regarding the information we must provide to them for your transactions.

We encourage you to read the privacy policies of these providers so that you can understand how these providers will handle your personal information.

In particular, certain suppliers may be located or have facilities located in a different jurisdiction than yours or ours. Therefore, if you choose to proceed with a transaction involving the services of a third party, your information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

Once you leave our website or are redirected to a third-party website or application, you are no longer governed by this Privacy Policy or the Terms of Service of our website.

Web analytics service (anonymous data)

On this website we have integrated an element of a web analytics service (with anonymisation functionality). Web analytics can be defined as the gathering, processing and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. An analytics service collects, among other things, data about which website a person came from (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages they visited or how often and for how long they visited a sub-page. Web analytics is mainly used for website optimisation and for a cost–benefit analysis of internet advertising.

Courier service

To complete deliveries we use a courier service. This courier service carries out the delivery between our company and the consumer's home. To complete these logistics, the company requires access to the consumer's name and address information.

Mailing service

Royal Queen Seeds uses a third-party mail service provider to send its newsletter. This provider has access to limited account information related to opt-in consent (e.g. email address).

Marketing services

Royal Queen Seeds has the support of a company that specialises in marketing and communication activities. Their access to personal information is very limited and mostly anonymous.

Payment services

At Royal Queen Seeds we use external payment services to handle our transactions (e.g. credit card payments).

SECTION 6 – SECURITY

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry standard best practices to ensure that it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and stored using AES-256 encryption. Although no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional industry standards that are commonly accepted. Information related to the account is protected with a hashing method. This method transforms the information into a generated hash. As a result, confidential information is protected and invisible, even to us. In addition, our databases are exceptionally protected against unauthorised access. For example, access to the database is only possible and permitted via approved IP addresses (e.g. from Royal Queen Seeds headquarters). Other attempts and addresses are rejected at all times.

Furthermore, data is anonymised as much as possible, so it cannot be directly linked to a specific consumer. With this data, however, we may be able to carry out market research and analysis. In addition, the third parties concerned (e.g. mailing service) are examined prior to our collaboration, comply with the GDPR from the EU and receive a processing agreement. Within Royal Queen Seeds, employees are assigned different access permissions. Specific permission provides access only to information that is strictly required to perform a task. Digital security measures are subject to change and must meet high requirements to ensure the safety of online customers. That is why, at Royal Queen Seeds, we appoint a security officer. Regular verification and improvement of security measures (where necessary) are part of the role.

SECTION 7 – CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time, so please check back regularly. Changes and clarifications will be effective immediately upon being published on the Website. If we make substantial changes to this policy, we will notify you here that it has been updated so you will know what information we collect, how we use it and under what circumstances, if any, we use and/or disclose it.
