Dab Rig Guide: History, Types, and Cleaning Tips

23 June 2024

To those who have smoked herb for some time, the dab rig will look strangely familiar. It resembles the venerable bong, except that dab rigs are smaller and often feature more elaborate designs. The dab rig resembles the bong because form follows function and the function of the dab rig is the same as that of the bong: to filter (in this case) vapor through water to remove heat and impurities.

No Rolling Paper? Try These Nine Alternatives

20 September 2023

Everybody reaches the last paper sometime. Even those who prefer joints and smoke every day – those people you’d think always have a generous stash of papers in one of the kitchen cabinets – run out of rolling papers now and then. Usually at the least convenient time: like when two feet of snow have fallen in the last 24 hours and they’d need a snowmobile to get to a headshop or convenience store. In situations like that the issue becomes one of finding or creating alternative ways to enjoy your cannabis. In this post, the team at the 710 Pipes in Denver examines eight rolling paper alternatives.

Six Popular Bong Shapes and Their Effects

15 August 2023

If you have spent any time perusing the selection of bongs, heady glass, and other pipes in our online head shop you may come away with questions regarding the different styles of pipes. In other words, you might wind up asking yourself what is the significance of all those bong shapes. And maybe more to the point, does the shape of a bong really matter? The answer to the second question is, “Yes. The shape does matter.” The answer to the first question is more complicated, which means you’ll need to read on to learn what all those bong shapes mean.

Statistics on Kratom Use and Where It’s Legal

29 June 2023

How many kratom users are there in the US? That depends on who you ask. If you ask researchers from New York University they’ll tell you the number is around two million. They base this on the National Survey on Drug Use and Health which they conduct every year to try and get an idea about trends in drug use and abuse. On the other hand, if you ask the American Kratom Association, an advocacy group for kratom importers, their number is much higher: 16 million. At the 710 Pipes headshop in Denver, we don’t have a way to determine which of these wildly disparate numbers is correct. But we suspect that, as with most things, the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

Kratom 101: Exploring Its Basics and Potential Effects

20 June 2023

Kratom is derived from the Asian evergreen tree and has recently generated significant buzz over its purported ability to provide, among other things, CBD-like levels of pain relief and pain management. We get a lot of inquiries at our headshop in Denver about Kratom and so we thought it was time to try and set the record straight on this all-natural but somewhat controversial compound.

What Are the Benefits of Bigger Bongs?

17 March 2023

It’s the age-old question no one seems to have a definitive answer to: is bigger better? It’s a question heard in bedrooms and boardrooms the world over and one that can apply to anything from anatomy to cars to homes and even bongs. Because bongs come in so many different sizes these days it’s something you have to consider when purchasing a new one. But before you can decide if a bigger bong is right for you, you need to understand the potential benefits of having one. So in this post, the team at Denver’s premier headshop will list and discuss those benefits.

How to Travel with a Bong – Our Top Hacks

19 February 2023

Ash Catchers: Do You Need One?

7 January 2023

The nature of the bong accessory is to improve the smoking experience. It’s that simple. Some do a commendable job, others seem sorta superfluous and usually wind up collecting dust on a shelf somewhere.

In this post, the staff at our Denver headshop address the issue.

Dab Nails: An Essential Guide

22 July 2022

At 710 Pipes, we know that dab nails are essential for vaporizing cannabis concentrates like wax and shatter. In this article, we explain the different types of dab nails—titanium, quartz, ceramic, and glass—and how each material affects your dabbing experience in terms of flavor, heat retention, and durability. We also cover the importance of seasoning certain nails to ensure a smoother, better-tasting dab. Whether you’re new to dabbing or a seasoned pro, this guide will help you make the right choice for your setup.

What is a Dab Nail?
A dab nail is an essential component of a dab rig used in the consumption of cannabis concentrates, such as wax, shatter, and oil. When dabbing, the nail is the part that gets heated with a torch or electric element until it reaches a high temperature, at which point a small amount of concentrate is applied. The intense heat vaporizes the concentrate, allowing it to be inhaled.

Bongs vs. Dab Rigs: How Do They Compare?

6 July 2022

Before you look up “smoke shops near me”, you should know that our online head shop has the rundown on anything and everything weed-related. That’s why we’re going to walk you through bongs vs dab rigs 101!

Hitting a bong and taking a dab are two completely different animals. But you may be surprised to learn that the mechanisms are surprisingly similar.

You’re sure to have your preference for one or the other. Do you like the smooth, cool rips of a bong? Or the harsh-hitting dabs that knock you out?

Either way, it’s important to know as much as you can about tree life. So let’s get to it!

Is Smoking a Bong Healthier than Alternatives?

30 May 2022

You’re starting to realize that smoking might not actually be the healthiest activity you partake in.

Whether you’re smoking cigarettes, cannabis pipes or joints, you’re consuming harmful toxins and inhaling smoke into your lungs. Yuck!

Luckily, there’s a (potential) solution: the almighty bong.

If the smoke passes through the water, it must be filtered to at least some extent, right? Or is the water just there to cool it down?

Let’s get to the bottom of this!

Why You Really Don’t Want to Drink Your Bong Water

22 February 2022

The forbidden fruit: bong water. That which resides inside your favorite heady glass and mocks you.

It’s tempting when you’re high, we’ve got to say. You’d be lying to yourself if you said you’ve never thought about drinking it.

Bong water can hold a disgusting amount of pathogens if you don’t keep up with replacing it and cleaning your bong. And there’s nothing more shameful than having a gross bong lying around.

3 February 2022

How to Make a Gravity Bong: Our Smoke Shop’s Top Tricks

22 December 2021

Updated on September 22nd 2023

A gravity bong is kind of like waterboarding for stoners, only better because it shreds your consciousness in a positive rather than negative way. With a gravity bong, a couple of bottles, H2O, and the laws of physics are used to produce Olympian rips that transport the stoner to previously unheard-of heights of THC-driven delight.

No one here at the online head shop knows exactly who came up with the gravity bong but it was obviously someone with a keen knowledge of both hydrology and stonology. Because bottles take many different shapes and sizes, gravity bongs (sometimes referred to as “geebs”) also take on myriad forms. But no matter the form, the principle behind this most creative of stoner innovations remains the same.

Five Myths Associated with Buying from an Online Smoke Shop

11 June 2021

Updated on July 19th 2023

Chances are, if you’ve smoked using a bong, you’ve also called it – or heard others call it – a water pipe. Same thing, both names a longstanding part of smoking culture. Call it what you will, it’s one of the most commonly used smoking implements amongst cannabis aficionados and has been since its humble 16th century birth in China the waning days of the Ming Dynasty.
A classic bong is made of different materials, like acrylic and glass. It entails an open pipe that’s fixed to a water chamber. An inlet is linked to the chamber allowing you to breathe in the tasty smoke. When the dried herb of choice is set and lit inside the bong’s bowl, the smoke cools and filters through the clean water before it is inhaled.
Why buy a bong from an online smoke shop? Because they’re reliable and practical smoking implements and a reputable online retailer won’t steer you wrong. Unlike other devices, a bong doesn’t need a rechargeable battery to work. Another big reason? The water inside the bong processes the smoke initially, eliminating impurities before you take a hit. Many people say hits are stronger and smoother, perfect for long sessions. Finally, it’s easy to clean and use.
