Heady and Scientific Glass; What’s the Difference?
When talking about glass selection, it’s important to know what style of piece you’re going for. One easy and important distinction you can make is whether or not you’re looking for heady glass, or scientific glass.
Heady Glass
Heady glass is the prettier side of the water pipe world, that is to say if you’re looking for a truly beautiful bong, Heady glass is definitely the way to go. Heady glass bongs are usually visually striking and have strong colors and fascinating glass shapes and designs that aren’t usually seen in the mainstream scientific glass lines. It is quite common for heady glass pieces to be hand blown, meaning that they aren’t mass produced and each will be individually unique!
