Scientific glass is the modern standard when it comes to smoking, but what exactly is it? You may already be smoking out of scientific glass and not even realize it!
What is Scientific Glass?
A vast number of bongs, glass dab rigs, bubblers and pipes are made using scientific glass. Technically, scientific glass is any glass water pipe made from borosilicate glass, which is a special type of glass that contains large amounts of boron trioxide and silica. Scientifically speaking, borosilicate glass has a very low coefficient of thermal expansion – this means scientific glass will not crack as easily as regular glass when exposed to extreme temperatures. This allows artists to create much more intricate designs than with soft glass.
