Chillum/One-hitter - A Must-Have for All Herb Smokers

History Of Chillum

One-hitter is not a product of this age. Chillums have been in use for thousands of years. We can find evidence of its use most prominently in Hindu culture. The Hindu monks used them every day for smoking.

Chillums were not seen as a fashion statement back then but were considered a spiritual element in one’s life throughout Asian countries. With time it gained popularity, one after another different forms and styles started evolving in chillums and one-hitters.

How to Use a Chillum?

If you are new to using a chillum, you might think it is challenging to pack it. But that is nothing to worry about. Below is a detailed guide to learn how to use a chillum for full flavor and taste.

Step 1

The first step is to grind your herb flowers; you also use unground herb nugs if your chillum is big enough. 

Step 2

When the herbs are ground to a fine powder, take your chillum and start twisting it into the grounded herbs from the bowl end. Twist slowly downwards and ensure the herbs are being packed into the one-hitter. 

Step 3

Once you feel it is packed full, lift the chillum and take a look. If there is any space left, add more dry herb powder. And make a tight setting.

Step 4

Flame up the lighter and light the herb. When the herb is lit, you can start to hit.

Step 5

If you hit and think, you need more. Just repeat the second step and smoke it again. The best part about using a one-hitter; you can hit as much as you want without going through any long process.

Step 6

The last step is to clean your chillum. For a regular chillum, you can dab lightly on a hard surface, and all the ash will fall out. But some ash particles might just stick to the sides of the chillum. To give it a thorough clean-up, you can use a paper clip or a White Rhino Cleaning Brush
