I’m thinking about getting my first hand pipe and have been looking around. When I roll a joint, I always roll with charcoal filters, and I’d like to keep using filters when smoking a pipe. Now, this is the absolute standard for tobacco pipes, but for weed bowl pipes, it’s apparently not?

I don’t get it, it filters out harmful stuff, it’s cheap, easy, already normal for joints, but somehow, no nice glass bowl pipe I find has a mouthpiece that allows for charcoal filters.

Am I dumb and there’s a trick to using filters with those pipes I’m not getting?

    If you don't want to breathe in harmful combustion products, your best bet is not producing any. I suggest you consider buying a vaporizer. And I don't mean the concentrate pens, but dry herb vaporizers.
    Since you're not burning your flower you can actually taste the various terpenes and it's much easier on the lungs.

    I use an activated carbon filter for my bong, absolutely love it. They have them at most head shops I’ve been to, or you can get a grav online or something like that.

    I am unsure about these types of filters. I'm a big fan of bongs/bubbler and don't normally smoke joints. However I do know of moose labs. They have filters for joints, bongs, ect.

    If this is what you're talking about then I think the reason for this is glass had pipes have such a huge array of sizes that it's hard to make a filter for them.
