Chillums
Chillums were invented by humans several thousand years ago and were widely used in spiritual practices in Africa, Southeast Asia, and India. They appeared in Europe and the United States in the 1960s, spreading along with the hippie subculture. How do you use a chillum, and what makes this fashionable accessory so special?
Chillums – what are they?
A chillum, chillim, or bucket is a small cone-shaped or straight pipe up to 10-15 centimeters long, in which the combustion chamber and smoke channel are located on the same plane. A second feature of this accessory is the presence of a special filter in the form of a small, polished stone, which prevents the finely ground smoking mixture from entering the mouth. Finally, a third feature is the small combustion chamber in most cases. Chillums are typically used for only one, two, or three puffs.
The following materials are used to make chillums:
Glass – stylish and elegant accessories are not affected by temperature changes, do not absorb odors, and can even withstand a fall from a small height; Metal – maximum durability, easy to clean from dirt and carbon deposits. Metal models can be used as mouthpieces; Silicone is a convenient, functional, affordable, and practical solution for all occasions. Silicone models may include protective metal inserts; Ceramics and wood are 100% eco-friendly and environmentally friendly materials. The main advantages of choosing a chillum are the wide range of models, designs, and colors to suit all occasions. Furthermore, users appreciate this accessory for its compact size, light weight, ease of use, and short smoking time. Modern bucket designs often feature more sophisticated filters, such as a thimble-shaped filter with holes, which effectively filters out particles of the smoking mixture.
The chillum's small size doesn't pose a problem when it comes to cleaning. Manufacturers offer several types of special cleaning solutions—just add a small amount to warm water, soak the bucket for a few minutes, and then rinse with regular running water. In case of severe clogging, you can also clean the internal channel with a brush. Metal models can be effectively cleaned with an alcohol solution and salt, silicone can be washed with warm soapy water without special cleaning solutions, and wooden models should only be cleaned with a dry brush.
