| Specification | Feature | User Benefit |
|---|---|---|

The detailed spider web pattern is made with a glassblowing technique called "wrap and rake." During creation, thin strings of colored glass are wrapped around the hot glass of the pipe's bowl. A pointed tool then "rakes" or drags the strings, pulling them into the web shape. This method ensures the design is inside the glass, not just painted on top.
Borosilicate glass is the standard for quality pipes for a good reason. Unlike regular glass, it contains boric oxide, which helps it handle quick temperature changes from a lighter flame without cracking. The thick walls, often 3-4mm, add physical durability, making it more resistant to drops and bumps during use or cleaning.
The spoon pipe is one of the most recognized and used designs for dry herb. Its popularity comes from its simple and user-friendly shape. It consists of a mouthpiece, a stem, a bowl for your herb, and a carburetor (carb). This all-in-one design needs no water or extra parts, making it very portable and easy to use, clean, and maintain.

Keeping your glass pipe clean is important for the best flavor. For the Spider's Web pipe, the safest method is using isopropyl alcohol (91% or higher) and coarse salt. This cleans the inside without damaging the outside design from hard scrubbing or boiling.
Just put your pipe in a sealable plastic bag with enough alcohol to cover it and add a tablespoon of salt. Seal the bag and shake gently for a few minutes. For tough spots, let it soak for an hour before shaking again. After cleaning, rinse it with warm water and let it air dry completely before use.
A simple routine before and after using your pipe will keep it working well and reduce how often you need to deep clean it. Follow these steps for a great session.
