Everything you need to know about silicone pipes
Silicone pipes have gone from novelty to necessity. You get a durable, easy-to-clean, travel-friendly pipe that doesn't shatter when dropped. If you're new to silicone or want to understand the full landscape, this guide covers every type, how they work, and what to look for.
Types of silicone pipes
Spoon pipes are the most common form factor: a bowl on one end, mouthpiece on the other, carb hole on the side. Simple, portable, effective. The Eyce Spoon pairs a platinum-cured silicone body with a glass bowl and adds a lid and poker.
One hitters are narrow pipes built for single, discreet hits. The Eyce Shorty is our #1 one hitter: a straight silicone body with a glass bowl that fits the smallest pockets.
Dugouts pair a one hitter with herb storage in one unit. The Eyce Solo holds your herb next to a borosilicate glass taster, with a steel poker and tool holder.
Glass-look pipes give you the style of hand-blown glass without the breakage. Eyce Oraflex uses a patented, glossy double-layered silicone shell with hand-painted details.
What platinum-cured silicone means for your pipe
The safety and quality of any silicone pipe depends on the silicone grade. Platinum-cured food-grade silicone is the highest standard: inert, non-toxic, and stable at smoking temperatures. Eyce uses it across every pipe in the lineup. Cheap, unnamed silicone pipes use lower-grade material that can off-gas when heated. Always check the grade before buying.

FAQ
Q: How do you clean a silicone pipe?
A: Three methods work well: the dishwasher (top rack, glass bowl removed), freeze and flex to crack off resin, or a plant-based, alcohol-free cleaner for a deep clean. Skip rubbing alcohol, which can discolor and wear down silicone. See our cleaning guide.
Q: Are silicone pipes better than glass pipes?
A: It depends on how you use them. Silicone wins on durability, portability, and cleaning. Glass wins on visual appeal. Platinum-cured silicone with a glass bowl closes the flavor gap.
Q: Can silicone pipes be used for concentrates?
A: Standard pipes are designed for dry herb. For concentrates you want a dab rig or nectar collector. Eyce makes both.
