What is Heady Glass?
Heady glass refers to intricately worked, custom-made glass smoking pipes and bongs. These are considered high-end, almost artistic accessories for cannabis enthusiasts.
Unlike mass-produced glassware, heady pieces are individually hand-crafted by artisan glassblowers and glassworkers.
This allows for an incredible level of detail, personalization, and functionality. Heady glass often features complex shapes, colors, percolators, and other innovations. Each piece is unique.
The benefits of heady glass include:
- Superior filtration from intricate parts.
- Smoothness from expert craftsmanship.
- The ability to own a customized showpiece.
Drawbacks are mainly the high cost and fragility of some complex designs. Expect to pay hundreds to thousands of dollars for a quality heady glass piece.
Many glass artists have signature styles and techniques. Cannabis consumers may choose a specific blower’s work to add to their collection. Heady glass is meant to be appreciated as both a smoking apparatus and an art object.
