I've heard a few people sing their praises, and a few say that they're not worth it. Some cost $80, some are $400, but I don't really know what makes one better than the other, or either of them better than a $20 glass pipe.
Sometimes if I'm smoking every day I'll develop a cough, so I'm guessing that it's not that great for my lungs. Would a vaporizer be better?
I felt similarly but then got one of these and haven't looked back. No cough or issues despite pretty regular use compared with constant stuffyness when combusting herb
It's using a water pipe with electrically heated glass beads as the heat source rather than a flame. Just have to be careful not to touch yourself with the hot metal
