The mouthpiece is the part of a smoking device that you draw on – whether it's a bong, pipe, or vaporizer. As inconspicuous as it may seem, it noticeably influences how pleasant the draw is and how clean the result tastes.
What is the purpose of the mouthpiece?
The mouthpiece is where the smoke or vapor reaches you. Its shape determines how pleasant the draw is, and its material determines how neutral the taste remains. A well-designed mouthpiece rests comfortably on the lips and allows the smoke to flow evenly.
Why is the material important?
As with the vapor path, the material of the mouthpiece can affect the taste. Glass and stainless steel are taste-neutral and do not release any substances. Plastic can – especially when heated – distort the taste. That's why high-quality devices use glass or metal.
Mouthpiece Shapes
From the wide rim of a bong to narrow pipe ends and shaped vaporizer mouthpieces, there are many variations. Some are curved to create distance from the hot part, others are flat for a direct draw. With a glass bong, the mouthpiece is often directly part of the tube.
