Description
The Inside Out Dichro Hand Pipe Spoon is a 4 inch borosilicate glass spoon pipe made with an inside-out technique that traps dichroic layers between the glass walls. It has a frosted finish and is offered in black, blue, orange, teal, green or red.
Inside-out blowing inverts glass to trap dichroic layers between walls. Dichroic coating refracts light via metal oxide micro-layers. Thick-wall construction resists thermal shock better than thin-blown alternatives. Inside-out technique creates 3mm+ wall thickness. Borosilicate glass resists thermal shock for daily use. Frosted finish provides mechanical grip and scratch concealment. Mini 2.5" size targets portable/discreet use cases. Large 6" provides session capacity for home use. Weight differential affects travel convenience significantly. Frosted glass increases surface friction for secure grip. Inside-out construction shields dichroic layer from mechanical wear. Thick walls prevent coating degradation from cleaning agents. Mini size optimized for travel and discretion. Large size emphasizes display aesthetics and capacity. Protected coating supports long-term collection value. Inside-out construction typically priced 15–20% above standard blown. Protected coating extends usable lifespan significantly. Thick wall construction reduces breakage risk vs thin-walled alternatives. Isopropyl alcohol dissolves organic residue effectively. Coarse salt provides mechanical cleaning without tool contact. Protected dichroic coating remains sealed during cleaning process. Verify borosilicate glass type (check for thermal shock resistance). Inspect dichroic layer integrity (look for cracks in glass, not coating). Select size for activity (2.5" for travel, 6" for home). Prepare cleaning supplies (91% alcohol, coarse salt, pipe cleaners). Check local possession regulations (21+ requirement). Clear bowl of any debris from previous sessions. Tap out ash immediately while warm (prevents cake buildup). Fill pipe with 91% isopropyl alcohol to submerge bowl. Add coarse salt as abrasive agent. Seal openings and shake for 60 seconds. Rinse with warm water until clear. Air dry completely before storage. Immediate ash removal prevents hard carbon buildup. Alcohol rinse preserves interior coating integrity. Complete drying prevents water spotting on frosted surfaces.
