Downstem Stuck in Your Bong? Here’s How to Remove It

18 September 2024

The cannabis industry is not your ordinary type of industry. While there is still a focus on containing costs, optimizing profits, and maintaining quality control, the people who make up the industry tend to be a bit more laid back than those in, say, the tech sector. For that reason, scientific and heady glass makers often overlook some common niceties associated with traditional business – like making sure a product comes with a comprehensive owner’s manual. As such, should your bong’s downstem ever get stuck, there’s no owner’s manual to refer to to solve the problem. Fortunately, those of us at the 710 Pipes headshop have your back.

How to Identify Bowl Joint Sizes and Genders

22 April 2024

While bongs have encountered stiff competition from vapes recently, hundreds of thousands are still sold every year. Many bong owners ultimately decide to upgrade their bong after owning it for some time, but to do that, they need to know the gender and size of the bowl joint.
Here’s a tip: if you might want to upgrade your bong bowl in the future, purchase a bong with the most common joint size, as this will provide you with the most upgrade options.
In this post, the team at the 710 Pipes pipe shop in Denver explains how to measure the joint size of your bong and how to determine its gender.

25 January 2024

In Part one of our look at Illadelph Glass, we went over their history, their reasons for and relationship with Philadelphia (which extends right to the company name “Illadelph”), some of the reasons their pipes are so expensive and a few ways to tell if you have a real or a fake Illadelph pipe. In Part 2 the team at the 710 Pipes headshop in Denver look at the cultural impact these high-end glass bongs have had and why some people are willing to spend their savings to pick one up.

The Story of Illadelph Glass: Part One

16 January 2024

Illadelph Glass has been around since 2002. In the years since their founding they have made a name for themselves through their many innovations and their unrelenting commitment to producing what they call “high end… functional borosilicate glass art”. Their innovations include the introduction of coil condensers, disc perc technology, multi-hole bowl designs, pyramid percs, up stem ash catchers and more which have made their bongs some of the most highly sought after on the US market. In this post the team at the 710 Pipes headshop in Denver take a close look at maybe the most important bong manufacturer in the US.

Grinders Guide: Types, Cleaning Options & Maintenance Tips

7 January 2024

Updated on May 28th 2024

As you mature and become a more sophisticated consumer of cannabis you are going to drop some practices and pick up on others. One of the things almost everyone eventually gravitates to is the grinder. The marijuana grinder can make a big difference in the quality of your experience while at the same time cutting prep time dramatically and eliminating the need to wash your hands so much (if you grind with your hands, like a lot of folks do). In this post, the team at the 710 Pipes headshop in Denver answer some of the most common questions our customers have about grinding weed.

Does Vaping or Smoking Weed Get You Higher?

28 December 2023

In this post the team at the 710 Pipes headshop in Denver will address the latter by answering the question: Does vaping or smoking get you higher?

How to Measure Bong Size and Gender

15 September 2023

If you ever plan on upgrading your existing bong it will be important to know both its joint size and gender. Otherwise, you may wind up with a new bowl that doesn’t fit. Now you may not be aware that bongs have genders but they do. Or more specifically, the joint used to connect the bowl to the stem is either “male” or “female”. So, if you buy a new bowl or stem from our online head shop and you don’t take the gender into consideration you’ll wind up having to return it for another. Read on to learn how to identify the gender of your bong and how to measure the joint size.

How To Corner a Bowl (and Why You Should)

26 August 2023

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?

Four Homemade Bong Ideas to Try In a Pinch

9 March 2023

Bongs can be expensive. There’s no doubt about that. Much of the cost is a result of the extraordinary lengths bong designers and manufacturers go to to come up with original, compelling designs. But even if manufacturers have the best intentions, expensive is still expensive and there will always be people in search of a cheap alternative. And why not?

Can Silicone Pipes and Glass Pipes Handle Extreme Heat?

23 November 2022

The art of pipe making has advanced by leaps and bounds in recent years. It’s to the point now that a lot of people buy their glass pipes from our online head shop based on looks alone, and not whether it’s particularly durable or practical.

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.

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.

Six Misconceptions About Smoking a Bong

Updated on September 22nd 2023

Over the past quarter-century, weed has gradually emerged from the shadows and increasingly gained mainstream acceptance. With that acceptance has come a significant uptick in the amount of dialogue regarding everyone’s favorite herb.

In an effort to try and set the record straight, those of us at your favorite online smoke shop decided to take a look at a half-dozen of the most pervasive and, in some cases, head-scratching misconceptions regarding the humble bong. So let’s get to it.

Our Smoke Shop’s Guide to the Perfect Bong Rip

11 October 2021

A bong is maybe the most effective way yet devised to get wiped quickly. It provides you the ability to take monster hits, and because those hits are filtered through water, they’re nice and smooth. But what if you could stack a hit that was so big and potent that it would knock Godzilla back on his butt? Well, you can. It’s called a “bong rip” and in this article, your friends at the 710 Pipes head shop are going to explain how you can use glass pipes to create the perfect rip.

Seven Ways to Grind Without a Grinder

15 September 2021

You can’t just take whole buds, stuff them into the bowl of a bong and fire them up. Well, you can. They’re your buds and you can do what you want with them. However, if you want to get the most out of them you’ll need to process them a bit first so that you get a nice even burn and a clean, consistent smoke, and that means grinding.

Most cannabis aficionados have a grinder at the ready at all times. Or, at least they try to. But there are inevitably going to be times when you set up the bong, whip out the weed, reach for your grinder and realize you left it home, or you lent it to your friend who hasn’t returned it yet. There isn’t time to arrange a delivery from the online head shop, so what to do?

21 August 2021

Updated on November 12th, 2024
If you are new to bongs you may be a bit confused by some of the terminology. That’s only natural. One of the terms people seem to be most perplexed about is “heady glass”. There is also some generalized confusion about whether heady and scientific glass are the same thing. And if they’re not, then what’s the difference?

Bong aficionados are no different.

Updated on November 12th, 2024
For many people, the bong is the ultimate vehicle for enjoying their favorite herb. They’re easy to use, don’t require rolling, provide you with Olympic-level hits and are all the rage at parties.

Why not have different bongs for different occasions?” And so that’s what this article is all about: Putting together the ultimate bong collection. Enjoy.

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.

How to Store Your Stash

9 April 2019

Not too hot…

Avoid storing cannabis near anything that gives off heat. Mold and mildew grow most quickly in warm temperatures – especially in the range of 77° to 86° F. Keeping your stash somewhere cooler than this will go a long way toward preventing this type of contamination. High temperatures can also damage the chemical composition of marijuana, potentially damaging terpenes that developed over months of mindful care. You’ll get a harsh, hot hit of smoke if you dry out your supply and damage these essential oils. So keep it someplace cool, and your throat will thank you.

Expo! Expo! Read All About It!

At the 2018 Natural Products Expo, which took place last March in Anaheim, California, the latest and most innovative trends in holistic health were showcased. There it became clear how quickly the cannabidiol craze is taking hold of the beverage industry. From CBD soda, coffee blends, matcha and tea, the public demand for CBD has not gone unnoticed, and beverage makers have answered their call. As marijuana restrictions slowly fade with every election, the market for consumable cannabinoids of any variety is rising. In fact, in 2017 alone, the legal weed industry raked in more than $9 BILLION dollars in revenue. Since recreational weed became legal in the state of California, those blazing-high profits have skyrocketed further still. Hemp-based CBD is far more accessible than THC – in fact, its consumption is now legal (for some or all users) in 47 U.S. States (sorry Idaho, Nebraska, and South Dakota). Better yet, for anyone near 710 Pipes in Northglenn or our D.U. head shop location, wide varieties of CBD products are available right now.
