The most common material for smoking if glass because of its high quality material. Butceramic has been gaining popularity because of its high melting temperature, low conductivity, and high hardness. If you haven’t tried smoking using ceramics, then this article by Robert will convince you to try it:
Though we now think of glass as the highest quality material in smoking tech, there used to be a time when clay was the bong-smith’s greatest asset. Certain groups in Africa would make “Earth Pipes” that were built into the ground with a buried bottle of water for filtration. These groups also made the first chillums and taster bats out of clay as well. Unlike other ancient bong materials like bamboo and gold, clay (which is the earliest form of modern ceramic) is still a viable option for pipes, vaporizers and accessories. Ceramic has a high melting temperature, high hardness and low conductivity, making it perfect for smoking. It’s also inert, which means that it won’t corrode Modern technology has improved ceramic with a glazing process that creates smooth, colored surfaces with no pores, which is perfect for heady artists. Ceramics allow these artists to make quirky shapes and vibrant colors that would be harder to achieve with glass. See full post here...
