A chillum pipe is a type of hand pipe that has been used for centuries. Chillums are typically smaller than other types of handpipes, making them portable and easy to conceal. They are known for their strong and direct rips, which are usually more powerful than the average dry handpipe. While they don't use a carburetor like some other handpipes, their size means that they often function as "one-hitters." Chillums come in a variety of designs, sizes, and materials including glass, ceramic, or metal. A chillum is also a type of glass pipe that is simple in design and has been used for smoking herbs, such as cannabis, for centuries.
