For the inexperienced, a visit to a smoke shop can be quite overwhelming. What can really make or break your experience though is most definitely the ambiance as well as the employees. you may also be affected by the lingo used as well as the variety of items being sold. If you have absolutely no previous experience, obtaining some basic knowledge before going into a smoke shop for the first time can provide some comfort to those who are new to the glass industry and smoke shop scene. What you should look up before entering a smoke shop as a customer is pricing, what questions to ask, what to look for when shopping and what not to do when in a smoke shop will allow you to have an enjoyable trip. You should have some knowledge of what the fair market price is for items and what to be looking for while shopping. If however, you still feel uncomfortable with visiting a smoke shop then an online headshop is definitely the next best thing. Shopping from an online headshop will allow you to compare the prices for certain artists work and branded and unbranded pieces as well as the prices for accessories. Buying from an online headshop may allow you to purchase pieces and accessories at lower prices. Online you have the ability to search for the piece that fits your budget without having to learn all the lingo that may go with actually explaining to the clerk what it is you are looking for. Furthermore, an online headshop gives you the ability to thoroughly research what type of piece you are looking for based on what the pipe is going to be used for, either dry herbs or concentrates. Due to the law regarding the use of marijuana, everything sold in the smoke shop is for tobacco use or legal herbs and concentrates. When in a headshop you should refer to anything with water in it as a water pipe (do not use the term “bong” and avoid “bubbler” because this term has a lot of gray area) and anything that does not use water is either a “dry” piece or a hand pipe typically. These terms are also used online, however, slipping up does not occur online. Both online and in a headshop you can expect to pay anywhere from $5 to a couple hundred on hand pipes, water pipes can start around $40 and go up all the way into the thousands of dollars. The prices for pipes vary depending on the materials and the techniques used as well as the artist who created the piece. When shopping online, however, it is important for legal reasons to purchase all smoking paraphernalia from an online headshop that can legally sell it. To ensure the legality of your accessories it is a good idea to look for stores located in Denver, the epicenter of the Legal Cannabis industry. As for smoking accessories, all items needed undergo the same laws as marijuana and are sold with the label for the smoking of tobacco. This differs when it comes to the states where marijuana is legalized.
