SoloPipe is a Smoker’s Delight
July 23rd, 2007
I gotta be honest…I didn’t take a single puff out of this thing, but its ‘wow’ factor is more then enough to show it off to friends
Official site here. No price mentioned on the site and you’ll have to email (info@solopipe.com) to get ordering info. Sorry, no shopping cart.
Update: My buddy pointed a few key things - only something a smoker would know.
1) What do you do when it gets clogged? There are two screws but this thing don’t look built for disassembling.
2) The screen that holds the (wacky) tobacco doesn’t seem replicable, let alone accessible.
3) Lastly, when’s the last time you smoked out of a metal pipe voluntarily? Comment below if you have some thoughts.
Video below.

[…] Sometimes you write the news, and sometimes the news writes you. Two great smoking related posts came up today, and let’s just roll ‘em in together. The first is the SoloPipe - a sleek collapsible pipe with an internal container for holding your fine smokables. What defines this as a creative designer solution is the built-in butane lighter (YouTube). No longer will les fumeurs du monde be forced to carry both lighter and one-hitter; these paragons of modern design have forever solved the age old mystery of “Dude, my lighter was like right here a minute ago.” UnCrate reports the price as $80, and a common complaint seems to be the time involved with cleaning.

I have one, I was 40th in line.
Problems
$80 WTF, Smokes Hot, Lighter is not wind proof. Hard to be descrete when it takes 7 tries, even inside; Gets sticky quickly.
I would not recomend it unless you want to pay $80 for the coolness factor. Go get a proto pipe.

i just got one and this thing rocks! i hear you on the cleaning factor but it comes with a cleaning kit that works really well, also came with extra screens and a little pouch (which i’ve never actually used).
I think it’s cool, the fact that it’s metal is OKAY considering how many glass ones i’ve broke and surprisingly it doesn’t leave a “taste” associated with the usual metal pipe.
Also, it isn’t wind proof but since you have an extra free hand you can easily block any wind. Especially handy at the beach or this winter when i go snowboarding. The free hand also helps while driving.
Since nobody knows what it is, don’t be surprised to go into concerts, games and events and nobody associating it with something you “shouldn’t” have. To them it’s just a crazy lighter.
The bowl is fairly big so you can pretty much pack a day’s worth of tobbaki in there without needing a second container.
A bit pricy, but isn’t everything when it first comes out?
I got mine from http://www.buyasolopipe.com for 69.99 with free shipping!

The solopipe is great, for a cheaply-made gadgety pipe. I got mine at a local headshop for $50. What bugs me about it is the construction… The metal bowl is great. the screen’s thick and doesn’t release much gas. The stem, however, is made of the same potmetal that my broken laptop hinges are, and releases so much gas that I can’t really enjoy the pipe properly. I took it out to clean it, only to discover that it’s held in by a mere o-ring. the o-ring had been subjected to such heat and pressure that it rotted and snapped. I had to reverse the tube, and now my mouthpiece is both loose and leaky. I want my $50 back please. I’m gonna go buy a Proto.

i bought one of these at a headshop for $50, i actually got two when i went. Makes a great gift, and so far im very impressed with it. It doesn’t got hot in your hand, regular cleaning with the kit will prevent you from having to disect it one day to do it. And plus, it has a full exchange policy at solopipe.com. So thats all i need, if mine starts messing up or bothering me in the smallest way, ill send it back and get a brand new one, u cant beat that with a baseball bat.

Be careful with that return policy mike g, if you have smoked anything illegal out of it, it voids the warranty.
16. karma tracing skies | January 8th, 2008 at 9:43 pm
hey well all i have to say is this thing looks like what every fellow smoker would die for:) im waiting to use it when i hit the mountains to go snow boarding.
i just got mine on ebay also and if any one needs one at a $17 save on this thing then go to ebay and type in solopipe and you will find the guy i have gone through,plus he has a 100% feed back:)
this thing is going to be bad ass

The girl in that video is hot but I don’t think I’d like that pipe… glass all the way.
18. Don | January 24th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
Just so you know, you only send back the metal casing, not the entire pipe thus…who knows what’s been smoked?

The pipe in question is a very good pipe. I Purchased one for my wife,(see loves stuff like this), it worked great.However, something broke and now it will not light.
Not sure what happen but it only lasted a month or less
and the shop were I purchased would not take it back,
even just for store credit. Yes it was used, that is what it is for, to be used. Just wish I could get it fixed or replaced. THe few weeks’ it worked it was a good pipe!
