Concentrate, Edison!
Electric dab rigs, often called e-rigs or smart rigs, were created to solve a very specific problem: traditional dabbing can deliver excellent flavor and potency, but it also demands skill, timing, and hardware that many users would rather avoid. A torch, a hot nail or banger, and manual heat management can produce outstanding results, but the process is less portable, less repeatable, and less forgiving than many concentrate users want.
Glass pipe artists occupy a unique place in smoking culture because their work sits at the intersection of craftsmanship, subculture, and collectible design. Unlike the long-established tradition of tobacco pipe making, which was shaped by conventional materials and formal retail markets, the modern glass pipe scene emerged from counterculture. That difference helps explain why cannabis pipes evolved into something far more visually experimental than the traditional wood tobacco pipe.
At some point, every traveling stoner starts asking themselves questions about their travel kit:
Do I really need all this smoking equipment?
What am I forgetting that will matter once I arrive?
What obstacles am I likely to encounter along the way?
What if something breaks?
Hydration is one of those topics related to weed use that nobody seems to want to talk about, other than to occasionally have a laugh at parties about how dry their mouth is, often referred to as “cotton mouth”. But there’s more to that dry mouth, or cotton mouth, than meets the eye. Hydration affects everything from the way the cannabis hits you, how clearly you think, and your overall enjoyment of the experience.
So, in this guide, the team at the 710 Pipes headshop off Evans in Denver delves into the matter of hydration and looks at what it really means when you get cotton mouth from smoking weed.
Glass is the most popular material used to create standard bongs, heady glass, handheld glass pipes, and other cannabis smoking paraphernalia. That’s because it’s durable, can be crafted into just about any shape imaginable, and its transparency enables the users to see the inner workings of more elaborate pipes and bongs. What that transparency also reveals, however, is that resin from the herb has an unfortunate habit of sticking to the inside of glass pipes. In this post, the team at 710 Pipes headshop in Denver explain how to remove resin from your glass without breaking it.
Coughing while smoking a joint, or particularly a bong, has long been an accepted part of stoner culture. To the point that certain ideas have grown up around it. One of the most common is that coughing can actually increase your high. But is that true or is it just another urban myth? In this post, the team from the 710 Pipes online head shop will take a close look at this issue and determine if it’s true or just another piece of cannabis lore that needs to be put to rest.
There are a couple of kinds of smoking rooms. One is that dingy cubicle outside some malls and airport terminals where cigarette smokers retreat to indulge their addiction out of sight of polite society. The other is a private space in the home where cannabis aficionados go to relax and sink into an epic buzz. In this post, the team at 710 Pipes are here to take a close look at the latter and provide some tips on how to make it the perfect room for indulging.
In the past decade, vaporizers have become one of the most popular alternatives to traditional smoking. While the earliest models required significant upkeep and technical know-how, today’s devices are more accessible than ever. At our local vape shop, one of the fastest-growing product categories is disposable vaporizers. These lightweight, portable, and ready-to-use devices give both newcomers and seasoned enthusiasts a simple way to enjoy vapor without any of the hassle of maintenance. In this guide, we’ll walk you through what disposable vaporizers are, how they compare to other options, which brands stand out, and answers to some of the most common questions our customers ask.
Here at the 710 Pipes headshop in Denver we get asked all the time by customers about how long a new bong can be expected to last. While it would be great if we could just give a single definitive answer to the question – “Your bong will last 14 years, 3 months and 18 days” – it’s just not possible to do so. That’s because there are myriad considerations weighing on bong longevity. So in this post, we’re going to address them: the main factors that will affect how long your bong will last. Enjoy.
At 710 Pipes, we carry a wide range of high-quality glassware, including pieces that deliver the perfect balance of portability and performance – like bubbler bongs.

At 710 Pipes, we believe that every smoking accessory plays a part in enhancing your overall experience—and ashtrays are no exception. More than just a tool for catching ash or extinguishing cigars, a thoughtfully chosen ashtray adds character, complements your setup, and helps maintain a tidy, safe environment. Whether you’re building out a lounge space, setting up your favorite desktop corner, or packing light for travel, selecting the right ashtray starts with knowing your material options.
The smell of quality cannabis is a wonderful thing, unique in this world, and at least part of the pleasure associated with getting high. But as life-affirming and magical as the smell of cannabis can be there are times when you don’t want to wake up the world with the scent of your herb. And there are other times when cannabis-related odors can take on an unwelcome, acrid quality. In this post, the team at the 710 Pipes headshop in Denver examine which device produces more potent smells: the bong or the pipe.
Most regular smokers have their own opinion about whether a bong or a pipe produces more potent odors. But those are opinions. What we’re going to try to do here is examine each device closely and see if we can come up with an objective determination about which device smells more. Let’s start by taking a close look at each device.

Let’s face it. The munchies are one of the many joys of cannabis culture. For some reason when you have an epic buzz food just tastes better. But it can’t be just any food. For example, if you’re thoroughly wasted on Green Crush you’re not going to be searching through the pantry for a can of Veg-All to heat up. Nope. You’re going to want something that will do your buzz justice. In this post, the team at the 710 Pipes headshop in Denver take a close look at those foods that will satisfy a world-class case of the munchies.
Glass pendants have become a must-have accessory for enthusiasts who appreciate artistry, individuality, and handcrafted style. At 710 Pipes, we believe that wearing a unique glass pendant is a way to showcase your passion and personality. But what exactly makes these pendants so special? Let’s dive into what pendants are, the types available at our online store, and how to choose the right one for you.

We’re here to help you make the most informed decision possible.
If you’ve been smoking weed for a while and have partaken using several different methods such as joints, hand pipes, and bongs, you may have grown to suspect that bongs seem to get you a little higher than other methods of cannabis consumption. But is that a real effect, or is it all just in your imagination? The good news is it’s not your imagination. Bongs do get most people higher than joints or other methods of smoking. But that raises the question of “Why?” In this post, the cannabis experts at the 710 Pipes headshop in Denver address the issue and provide a simple explanation for a puzzling phenomenon.
Vape shops are the go-to destinations for vapers of all experience levels, offering a wide range of products from e-cigarettes to premium vape juices.

When it comes to smoking cannabis, myths and misconceptions are everywhere. Some have been around for decades, passed down from one smoker to the next, while others have gained traction in the digital age. But how many of these claims actually hold up under scrutiny? In this article, we’ll examine ten of the most common beliefs about cannabis smoking—separating fact from fiction with science-backed insights. Whether you’re a seasoned smoker or just curious about cannabis, get ready to find out what’s true, what’s false, and what’s just stoner folklore.
When is a joint not a joint? When it’s a bifter or cone or sticky or whatever other name people are using to refer to this staple of the stoner experience. It seems that just about everywhere in the world people have come up with clever, and in some instances, head-scratching names for their joints. But even right here in the US, the proliferation of different names has become somewhat dizzying. In this post, the team at the 710 Pipes headshop in Denver take a literary tour through the ever-expanding world of joint names.
Online smoke shops have become a major part of the smoking culture in recent years, providing smokers with a convenient and efficient way to purchase their smoking accessories from the comfort of their own home. As smoking and cannabis culture continue to grow, the number of online smoke shops, like 710 Pipes, also increases, offering everything from water pipes to vaporizers, grinders , and a variety of other essential products.
In this article, we will discuss the benefits of buying from an online smoke shop, the myths surrounding them, and how 710 Pipes stands out as both an online and physical retail presence in the smoking community.
As dab culture continues to evolve, carb caps have become essential for anyone looking to enhance their dabbing experience. At 710 Pipes, we believe that the right tools make all the difference, and carb caps are no exception. But what exactly is a carb cap, and how can you select one that best fits your setup? Let’s dive into what carb caps are, the types available in our online store, and how to use them for optimal performance.
At 710 Pipes, we know that some smokers prefer the classic ritual of rolling joints over using heady glass devices. For those who love the art of rolling, having the right accessories can elevate the entire experience. Whether you’re a seasoned roller or just starting, the right tools make the process easier, cleaner, and more enjoyable. From ashtrays and rolling trays to doob tubes, the right accessories help keep your sessions organized and enhance the overall smoking experience. Let’s explore some of the must-have joint smoking accessories.
The cannabis industry is not your ordinary type of industry. While there is still a focus on containing costs, optimizing profits, and maintaining quality control, the people who make up the industry tend to be a bit more laid back than those in, say, the tech sector. For that reason, scientific and heady glass makers often overlook some common niceties associated with traditional business – like making sure a product comes with a comprehensive owner’s manual. As such, should your bong’s downstem ever get stuck, there’s no owner’s manual to refer to to solve the problem. Fortunately, those of us at the 710 Pipes headshop have your back.

In the vast majority of instances, a cannabis buzz is a wonderful thing. But there are times when even the most experienced cannabis connoisseur will overindulge and end up emotionally uncomfortable, maybe even paranoid. Although such experiences will ultimately pass, they are no fun when you go through them. In this guide, the 710 Pipes online head shop team provides seven useful tips to help you step back from the edge of an uncomfortable high.
While bongs have encountered stiff competition from vapes recently, hundreds of thousands are still sold every year. Many bong owners ultimately decide to upgrade their bong after owning it for some time, but to do that, they need to know the gender and size of the bowl joint.
Here’s a tip: if you might want to upgrade your bong bowl in the future, purchase a bong with the most common joint size, as this will provide you with the most upgrade options.
In this post, the team at the 710 Pipes pipe shop in Denver explains how to measure the joint size of your bong and how to determine its gender.
If you’ve ever indulged in edibles, you probably feel that the buzz you get from those pot brownies is noticeably different than the one you get from smoking weed. But maybe you’re a little apprehensive about sharing this to your buddies, thinking they’ll look at you like you’ve lost it. So what’s the deal? Is it your imagination, or is an edible high different than the high you get from your heady glass?
We’re here to tell you that the difference isn’t all in your head. There is a distinct difference between the buzz you get from edibles and the one you get from a bong hits or joint. Below, we’ll explore the primary distinctions.
In Part one of our look at Illadelph Glass, we went over their history, their reasons for and relationship with Philadelphia (which extends right to the company name “Illadelph”), some of the reasons their pipes are so expensive and a few ways to tell if you have a real or a fake Illadelph pipe. In Part 2 the team at the 710 Pipes headshop in Denver look at the cultural impact these high-end glass bongs have had and why some people are willing to spend their savings to pick one up.
Illadelph Glass has been around since 2002. In the years since their founding they have made a name for themselves through their many innovations and their unrelenting commitment to producing what they call “high end… functional borosilicate glass art”. Their innovations include the introduction of coil condensers, disc perc technology, multi-hole bowl designs, pyramid percs, up stem ash catchers and more which have made their bongs some of the most highly sought after on the US market. In this post the team at the 710 Pipes headshop in Denver take a close look at maybe the most important bong manufacturer in the US.
Good weed is not cheap so anything you can do that can help you get more from your herb is welcome. That includes grinding your weed properly to get an efficient burn and finding ways to get more buzz for your buck. In this post the team at the 710 Pipes headshop in Denver will address the latter by answering the question: Does vaping or smoking get you higher?
Some look upon the recent wave of legislation making recreational marijuana use legal in dozens of states as finally bringing simplicity and clarity to pot laws in the country. On the other hand, there are those who think that things have never been more confusing. Their concern is based on conflicting laws potentially exposing well-meaning people to criminal charges due to legal inconsistencies between different states, and between states and the federal government. For example: one question we get a lot at our pipe shop in Denver is “Are you allowed to take weed into a National Park?”
It might seem like the hard work is done once you have harvested your cannabis crop, but the truth is you still have some work to do before your weed is bong-ready. By that we mean you still have to dry and cure your cannabis buds in order to ensure they produce an optimal experience. In this guide, the team at the 710 Pipes headshop in Denver take a close look at the process of curing your cannabis buds.
The distinction between the terms “coffee shop” and “head shop” has never been muddier than it is today. The same can be said for the distinction between “coffee shop” and “cafe”. To bring some degree of clarity to the situation, the team here at the 710 Pipes online smoke shop has decided to take a close look at what separates the contemporary coffee house from the contemporary headshop. Enjoy.
Some Baby Boomers seem to think they were the first to discover the joys of marijuana. The truth, however, is that human history with cannabis goes back thousands of years. The first culture to document the use of the cannabis plant was ancient China where it was originally used to make practical items. By the time of the Han dynasty, (202 BC – 220 AD), cannabis was being widely used for medicinal purposes and personal non-medical purposes as well. In this post, the team at our Northglenn head shop takes a deep dive into the ancient Chinese relationship with marijuana.
It’s silly to assume that any song where someone mentions weed in the lyrics is a good song to listen to when you’re high. Nothing could be further from the truth. What makes a song capable of enhancing your high is its ability to sync with your altered state. That’s it. So with that as our guiding principle and without further ado the team at the 710 Pipes head shop in Denver presents seven songs to enhance your high. Enjoy.
Whether we’re talking about travel partying or eating your favorite food, too much of a good thing is never a good thing. The same can be said for smoking weed. Regular cannabis consumers know all too well that at a certain point, their tolerance for THC goes up which means they need ever greater quantities of herb to achieve the same buzz. Fortunately, there’s something you can do about it. In this brief guide, the team at our Denver headshop location looks into the weed tolerance break, what it is, and how to make the most of it.
Maybe you’ve heard of the apple pipe but just assumed it was named after its inventor/designer (there are thousands of people in the US with the last name “Apple” so it’s not out of the question). Or maybe someone told you about it and you just assumed they were joking with you. Or maybe you’ve never heard of it. In any case, the team at the 710 Pipes headshop at Denver University would like to set the record straight:
One of the many joys of cannabis is how easy it is to pack a bowl, spark it up, and enjoy a heroic buzz. Whether you’re using a standard bong, heady glass, rolling papers, or even a dry herb vaporizer there isn’t much effort involved. Dabbing, however, is a different story. Dabbing requires special equipment, a special type of cannabis byproduct, and very specific procedures.
You can’t spend much time at a headshop or reading information about cannabis without encountering the word “terpenes”. Sometimes the person using the word will take the time to explain it, but in a lot of cases, they just assume the listener or reader is in the know. The thing is, lots of stoners are not. And that’s fine. After all, you’re not required to pass some sort of litmus test to enjoy weed. For those who are curious, however, the team here at 710 Pipes in Denver has brought together the following brief guide that should help shine a light on the subject of terpenes.
Everybody reaches the last paper sometime. Even those who prefer joints and smoke every day – those people you’d think always have a generous stash of papers in one of the kitchen cabinets – run out of rolling papers now and then. Usually at the least convenient time: like when two feet of snow have fallen in the last 24 hours and they’d need a snowmobile to get to a headshop or convenience store. In situations like that the issue becomes one of finding or creating alternative ways to enjoy your cannabis. In this post, the team at the 710 Pipes in Denver examines eight rolling paper alternatives.
If you ever plan on upgrading your existing bong it will be important to know both its joint size and gender. Otherwise, you may wind up with a new bowl that doesn’t fit. Now you may not be aware that bongs have genders but they do. Or more specifically, the joint used to connect the bowl to the stem is either “male” or “female”. So, if you buy a new bowl or stem from our online head shop and you don’t take the gender into consideration you’ll wind up having to return it for another. Read on to learn how to identify the gender of your bong and how to measure the joint size.
Kief is gold or light brownish in color, has a light, powdery quality to it, and is derived from trichomes on the outside of cannabis buds that produce THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids. These trichomes can be separated from the bud during the grinding process, and because they still contain traces of the aforementioned cannabinoids can be used to enhance your cannabis experience in myriad ways. In this post, the team at 710 Pipes smoke shop will take a closer look at some great ideas for getting more from your kief.
When you have friends over for some friendly cannabis consumption your stash can take a big, expensive hit. Given the price of herb these days you want to make sure you get the most out of it no matter if you’re smoking alone or it’s party time. But how best to do that without seeming like you’re withholding? One answer is cornering. When we suggest cornering to customers at our Denver headshop and then explain what it is, it turns out that a lot of people are subconsciously doing it already.
If you have spent any time perusing the selection of bongs, heady glass, and other pipes in our online head shop you may come away with questions regarding the different styles of pipes. In other words, you might wind up asking yourself what is the significance of all those bong shapes. And maybe more to the point, does the shape of a bong really matter? The answer to the second question is, “Yes. The shape does matter.” The answer to the first question is more complicated, which means you’ll need to read on to learn what all those bong shapes mean.
We’ve all had to deal with it. You pass around a joint or some heady glass and a short while later your eyes look like you’ve got the world’s worst case of hay fever. Bloodshot eyes have long been the bane of the stoner’s existence, forever outing them or threatening to do so to the boss, the parents, business associates, the police, and everyone else.
A dab rig is a device designed for use with cannabis concentrates. Most dab rigs are glass, often crafted or inspired by the work of a skilled glass artist, and designs range from simple straw-like objects consisting of little more than a tube that’s heated at one end, to large multi-chamber devices that bear a striking resemblance to bongs.
If you’ve ever watched “Ted 2” you’re familiar with the scene where Ted, Johnny, and their lawyer Sam are discussing particularly potent pot strains including one named “How long has that van been there?” and another called “Can you help me get home?” It’s a hilarious sendup of the sometimes unpleasant reactions people have when they’ve taken too many hits off the heady glass or smoked weed that’s just too potent for their particular makeup. In this post we decided to look at steps you can take should you find yourself a little too high.
Kratom is a tropical evergreen tree native to Southeast Asia, particularly in countries like Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Myanmar. The leaves of this tree have been traditionally harvested and dried for various uses. In recent years, kratom has become popular in the United States, often sold as a powdered leaf, capsule, or extract. Many consumers seek it for its unique properties, making it a prominent product in the inventory of smoke shops like 710 Pipes.
Kratom is derived from the Asian evergreen tree and has recently generated significant buzz over its purported ability to provide, among other things, CBD-like levels of pain relief and pain management. We get a lot of inquiries at our headshop in Denver about Kratom and so we thought it was time to try and set the record straight on this all-natural but somewhat controversial compound.
People have been smoking weed for thousands of years. The unbroken line of continuous cannabis consumption goes back to the ancient Chinese and Japanese, up through the Syrians of the 12th century and right to Napoleon’s troops who needed to find an alternative to alcohol when he invaded Muslim Egypt 200 years ago. During the 1960s and 1970s cannabis, along with the headshop, became integral parts of post-WWII youth culture and its popularity has continued to spread up to the present day where its use has become – dare we say it – mainstream.
If there were no pipe screens and you loaded your heady glass bowl with weed and sparked it up you’d inhale a bunch of gnarly detritus from the buds. The screen is what prevents that from happening. Most pipe screens are made of brass or stainless steel, although in some high-end bongs, the screen may be fashioned from something exotic like titanium or quartz. Without pipe screens, smoking herb would be a decidedly different experience than it is now. So we’ve put together this short guide in order to give some props to the humble screen.
When Bilbo sits down with Gandalf at the start of The Fellowship of the Ring one of the first things they do is create some pipe smoke magic together. In this post, the team at the 710 Pipes vape shop in Denver will go over some nifty vape tricks that will enable you to become the Gandalf of your inner circle.
Every year on April 20th cannabis aficionados around the world get together to celebrate their favorite herb’s unofficial holiday. The thing is, even people who’ve been celebrating 420 for years have no idea how the whole thing got started, and more than a few have simply accepted one of the many tall tales surrounding 420’s origins. In this post, the team at everyone’s favorite Denver headshop will set the record straight about the true origins of 420. Let’s begin by debunking the most popular of those myths.
If you’ve spent any time smoking or vaping weed you know only too well the scourge of cotton mouth. It even happens to some people after consuming cannabis edibles. While cotton mouth is a harmless phenomenon it is nonetheless unpleasant and if there were a way to avoid it we’re willing to bet most of our Denver headshop customers would sign up.
Read on to learn what cotton mouth is, how best to deal with it, and what steps (if any) you can take to prevent it from happening.
Over the past ten years, the number and variety of dry herb vaporizers has exploded. Here at our Denver vape shop, we’ve witnessed the surge in interest first-hand and its sometimes hard to believe. Of course, with any new technology come issues and questions. And dry herb vapes are no exception. A lot of the questions we field from customers have to do with fixing a vape that has broken down or is simply not performing as expected. Below, we’ll get into the details of how to fix common problems associated with a dry herb vaporizer.
It doesn’t matter what kind of salary you make: good herb is not cheap. With an ounce of Blue Dream hovering around $200 in Denver these days and an ounce of OG Kush costing more than $300 you want to make sure you get the most out of every bud. And that’s exactly what the team at 710 Pipes vape shop is here to do: provide you with five tips that will enable you to make your vape weed last a bit longer. So let’s get to it.
It’s the age-old question no one seems to have a definitive answer to: is bigger better? It’s a question heard in bedrooms and boardrooms the world over and one that can apply to anything from anatomy to cars to homes and even bongs. Because bongs come in so many different sizes these days it’s something you have to consider when purchasing a new one. But before you can decide if a bigger bong is right for you, you need to understand the potential benefits of having one. So in this post, the team at Denver’s premier headshop will list and discuss those benefits.
Bongs can be expensive. There’s no doubt about that. Much of the cost is a result of the extraordinary lengths bong designers and manufacturers go to to come up with original, compelling designs. But even if manufacturers have the best intentions, expensive is still expensive and there will always be people in search of a cheap alternative. And why not? How hard can it be to produce your own homemade bong? After all, bongs are pretty simple devices with no moving parts, so it’s not like it’s rocket science. In this post, the team at our headshop in Denver will look at four homemade bong ideas you might want to try.
The recreational use of weed may be legal where you live. Or, at the very least cannabis may have been decriminalized. But that doesn’t mean you will find smooth sailing if you want to take the bong you just bought at our pipe shop with you when you travel.
Whether it’s used as a method of entertainment or to help manage common health conditions, smoking weed has made an indelible impression on the culture. But one aspect of cannabis consumption has always been a bit problematic: of course, we’re talking about the whole “smoking” thing. The best way to avoid the pitfalls of smoking herb is to switch to dry herb vaping. So with that in mind the team at the 710 Pipes vape shop present six things you should be aware of if you’re contemplating switching from smoking to vaping.
People all over the world are catching on to the joys of dry herb vaping. And why not? Vaping provides several easy-to-quantify advantages over smoking weed that make it a common sense alternative for those who are health conscious, or who just want to have a more satisfying experience.
There is a mountain of scientific evidence confirming that dry vaping of herbs does not pose an existential health hazard either to the vaper or to others. But, while those of us at the 710 Pipes vape shop in Denver might understand that, and most of our customers understand that, there is still a significant portion of the population who are either woefully misinformed about vaping, are opposed to any type of cannabis use, or are wary of any activity that even remotely resembles smoking.
The nature of the bong accessory is to improve the smoking experience. It’s that simple. Some do a commendable job, others seem sorta superfluous and usually wind up collecting dust on a shelf somewhere. The ash catcher is one of those that has caught on with bong aficionados everywhere, but is that just a case of keeping up with the Jones’ or are there real merits to having one? In this post, the staff at our Denver headshop address the issue.
In your parent’s day (or your grandparent’s day as the case may be) cannabis was a controversial subject. People who enjoyed a good buzz had to buy their weed on the streets of Denver from some very shady types and roll joints that could be easily concealed and smoked once they got to a safe place, like their friend’s attic. Bongs were rare because they were difficult to hide from parents and po-lice alike and difficult to transport in a safe, discreet fashion.
For 50 years, glass bongs have ruled the roost, and why not? Glass bongs are attractive, effective, and – if they’re properly cared for – durable as all get out. In recent years, however, other materials have emerged to try and claim a place at the table including acrylic, metal, and bamboo.
But one alternative material has managed to garner more attention from patrons of our Denver headshop than all the others: silicone. But why exactly is that? And are silicone bongs poised to knock glass bongs from the mountaintop after their incredible run at #1?
People who are new to vaping sometimes get lost in contradictory information. For instance, some articles out there state there are only two kinds of vaping devices: “portable” and “tabletop”. Other articles also state there are only two kinds of vaporizers, except they state the two types are “dab pens” and “dry herb vaporizers“. So who is right? Well, they both are. Sort of.
The art of pipe making has advanced by leaps and bounds in recent years. It’s to the point now that a lot of people buy their glass pipes from our online head shop based on looks alone, and not whether it’s particularly durable or practical. And while buying a pipe based on aesthetics alone is fine it does raise a few questions, including whether or not that glass or silicone pipe will be able to handle the heat load it will be subjected to. In this post, the team at 710 Pipes will be looking to answer the question “Is heat a problem for silicone and glass pipes?
There’s nothing like a beautiful, well-made glass bong. The look, the feel, the monster hits. It’s enough to make you want to skip work and indulge yourself. But there’s an element to bong ownership that often goes unspoken, either because people are simply unaware of it, or because they believe its importance is overstated: cleanliness. Here at the 710 vape shop in Denver people often ask us if their bong needs to be cleaned. Our answer usually goes something like “Do you clean the plates you eat off of?”
In spite of significant headwinds created by the anti-smoking lobby vaping has taken off worldwide. That’s because people understand it’s safe and relaxing and affordable and doesn’t subject those around you to dangerous smoke. But as vaporizers have become more popular those of us at the 710 Pipes vape shop in Denver are getting ever more inquiries about the batteries on these devices. And those questions typically go like this: “Why did my battery die so fast?”
If you are a fan of vaping and herb vaporizers and you plan on engaging in some travel it will pay to know if the destination or destinations you have in mind permit, or at least tolerate, vaping. There are a couple of things in play in this instance. First, the legality of recreational marijuana use in the city you’re visiting. And second, whether or not the anti-smoking lobby has wrongly but successfully convinced lawmakers that dry vaping herb is the same as smoking cigarettes and applied anti-smoking laws to the practice.
Here in the 21st century, technological change happens at breakneck speed. As soon as we figure out this or that device the technology is either upgraded or replaced entirely by some new technology (think of how streaming services killed DVD rentals). Vaping technology is no different. It seems just about every year now there is some new piece of vaping kit that takes center stage, making the practice more convenient and effective. In this post, the team at the 710 Pipes vape shop in Denver will look at recent advances in vaping technology.
We’ve all been through a lot in the past couple of years from lockdowns, political unrest, and a steep economic downturn followed by record inflation. So, if some people are having trouble getting to sleep it’s understandable. And, of course, there are other reasons that contribute to sleeplessness including illness and career-related stress. There are lots of sedatives on the market that will induce unconsciousness and plenty of doctors are ready to prescribe them. But is there a better way? In this post, the team at the 710 Pipes online head shop examines whether dry herb vaping is the sleep aid you’ve been looking for.
It would be great if there were a single definitive answer to this question, but anyone who has been smoking weed for a while knows that is not the case. You can buy cheap skunk weed from some guy off the street and get a mild 10-minute high accompanied by a headache and buyer’s remorse. Or, at the other end of the spectrum, you can lay out $400 for an ounce of local favorite Lucinda Williams at a licensed dispensary and bask in an hours-long buzz. In this post, the team at Colorado’s best online smoke shop tackle the age-old question: How long does a weed high last?
If you want to start a lively discussion among your peers at the vape shop in Denver just ask them what is the optimal temperature at which to vape weed. Opinions will start flying in every direction with preferred temperatures ranging from 320 degrees (F) to nearly 450 degrees. But who is right in such a case? Well, to a certain extent they all are, because the different temperatures tend to produce different effects and not everyone is after the same effects when they vape weed.
Anyone who works in a vape shop hears questions about desktop and portable vaporizers all the time. In particular, people want to know if there’s a significant difference in functionality between the two or if the differences are mainly cosmetic. In this post, we’re going to compare how each type of unit performs similar functions, whether one is objectively better than the other and what are the pros and cons of each type of device.
If you’ve watched the ever growing cannabis industry over the years, you’ve probably heard of the company Puffco along with it’s large array of smoking products. In this article we will be talking not only about where it stands today, but where it began, as well as the devices they’ve produced throughout the years.
A lot of cannabis enthusiasts would say that the norm of most consumption methods would be a joint, a spoon pipe, or quite possibly a waterpipe. Even by todays standards smoking cannabis traditionally is still enjoyed by many people, however in 2013 a man named Roger Volodarsky changed the game and had ushered in the new era of smoking. Today you can find so many types of electric smoking devices, however Puffco is definitely the “Godfather” of E-rigs.
Our Denver smoke shop has a secret love: weed tea. Does it sound disgusting? Yes! Is it disgusting? That’s up to you to decide.
With the right mix of weed, tea, and add-ons like honey or cinnamon, you can create a delicious concoction that will get you as high as a kite.
We’re excited to share this recipe with you. Weed tea is a little-known way of consuming marijuana, but it can do wonders.

So put away your glass pipes and pull out a ceramic mug instead. Here we go!
So you’ve found some old pot. Can you still use it? Will it hurt you? Will it get you high?
Our headshop gets this question all the time. Of course you don’t want to waste any precious nugs if you don’t have to. Luckily, you’re in the clear.
Using old weed can still get you high. But the best thing to do with it is to repurpose it! This can breathe some fresh air into your old pot.

People come to our Denver headshop all the time wondering why they go through so much weed. The first thing we tell them is that they may not be inhaling correctly!
Our head shop knows all about inhaling weed firsthand. There are two main mistakes people make when trying to inhale weed:
At 710 Pipes, we know that dab nails are essential for vaporizing cannabis concentrates like wax and shatter. In this article, we explain the different types of dab nails—titanium, quartz, ceramic, and glass—and how each material affects your dabbing experience in terms of flavor, heat retention, and durability. We also cover the importance of seasoning certain nails to ensure a smoother, better-tasting dab. Whether you’re new to dabbing or a seasoned pro, this guide will help you make the right choice for your setup.
A dab nail is an essential component of a dab rig used in the consumption of cannabis concentrates, such as wax, shatter, and oil. When dabbing, the nail is the part that gets heated with a torch or electric element until it reaches a high temperature, at which point a small amount of concentrate is applied. The intense heat vaporizes the concentrate, allowing it to be inhaled.

If you’ve never tried an edible, you’ll be surprised at how different the experience is from smoking. It’s a different kind of high that is stronger and lasts longer. And it’s easy to accidentally get a lot higher than planned! But don’t worry, we’ll cover that.
Let’s talk about how the body reacts to smoking and edibles, how each method affects your high, the difference between Indica and Sativa strains, and some common cannabinoids.

Hitting a bong and taking a dab are two completely different animals. But you may be surprised to learn that the mechanisms are surprisingly similar.

Either way, it’s important to know as much as you can about tree life. So let’s get to it!

Life is full of unanswered questions: What triggered the big bang? If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it does it make any noise?

We can’t do much to address the first two questions, but we do know a thing or two about marijuana and we’re here to say that there are some pretty reliable things to look for that will help ensure you only pack good weed into your custom glass pipes.
