A one hitter also known as bat is a special pipe intended for smoking tobacco or other herbs. One Hitter Pipes are incredible little implements. With a one hitter you can smoke anywhere conveniently, unaffected by wind speeds or exposure and about in a safe, discreet way. They make it unbelievably easy to smoke your dry herb while out. They are kind of a go-to piece for a quick smoke. You just have to fill your one hitter with dry herbs or tobacco of your choice and then take the hit.

One hitter is usually narrow straight pipe with a small bowl on one end aimed for one inhalation. They are designed to hold enough tobacco to be smoked in one hit, hence the name. One hitters are made of glass, wood, clay, metal, or a combination of materials. Their straight or conical design makes them easy to use, store, and clean. They are available in the form of small metal pipes as well. These metal pipes looks like a cigarette and hence people often misinterprets them as normal cigarettes.

One hitters also differ from western-style pipes. In this you don’t have to necessarily ignite your herbs to inhale its vapor. To light a one hitter, the best technique is to hold the flame close enough below the opening to create a temperature enough to vaporize the substance. The significant tip to follow while using one hitter is, not to break the smoking substances into very small pieces. By crushing the material into minute size, it turns into ashes immediately and the taste would not be very good. Therefore always prefer bigger bits. With larger bits, most of the ash will remain in the pipe. With one hitter, majority of the smoke goes into your lungs and not the air, so it drastically reduces the smell.

One hitter generally comes with its own dugout, which is a small box that has one compartment for storing the one hitter pipe and another one for storing a bit of herbs, for easy storage and transport. Their most modern generation comes with multiple added features such as grinders and lighter chambers. Cigarette sized one hitters of many different brands are available in market.

Even though you may already have a plethora of tools and means to smoke your herb, a one hitter is a great little instrument that you can add to your collection.
