Empire Glassworks: Hand-Blown Bongs, Pipes and PuffCo Glass

Empire Glassworks makes hand-blown glass art that you can actually use every day. You'll find themed beaker bongs, mini rigs, spoon pipes, chillums, dab tools, bowl pieces, terp jars, and glass PuffCo accessories here. Each piece is lampworked by hand in Placentia, California, so no two look exactly alike. Pick by how you smoke first, then by the theme you love.

What's in the Empire Glassworks Collection?

The Empire Glassworks collection covers eight product types across dry herb and concentrate setups:

• Beaker bongs and baby beakers for water-filtered dry herb sessions
• Spoon pipes and hand pipes for quick, water-free hits
• Chillums for a slim, one-hand option
• Bowl pieces for adding art to a bong you already own
• Mini rigs for small, flavorful dabs
• PuffCo attachments and mouthpieces for the Peak, Peak Pro, Proxy, and Pivot
• Carb caps and spinner caps for airflow control on a banger
• Dabbers and terp jars for loading and storing concentrates

The first four types suit dry herbs. The last four suits concentrate and PuffCo devices.

What Makes Empire Glassworks Glass Different?

Empire Glassworks glass is lampworked by hand, shaped and sculpted piece by piece over a torch flame. The team brings more than 40 years of combined glassblowing experience to that process. You can see it in the small sculpted owls, octopuses, bees, and mushrooms built right onto each piece.

Many designs use dichroic glass, which is borosilicate glass with thin layers of metal inside that give it a shifting, metallic shine. Some pieces are also UV-reactive or glow in the dark. Most themes carry a message, too. Lines like Save the Bees, Renew the Redwood, and Avenge the Arctic each focus on an at-risk habitat or species.

Empire Glassworks Bongs and Mini Rigs

Empire Glassworks bongs are mostly beaker and baby beaker styles with sculpted scenes around the neck and base. The Save the Bees Beaker, for example, wraps a honeycomb neck in a swarm of glass bees. If you want a water pipe that doubles as a display piece, start here. For simpler daily drivers, compare them with the full bongs collection.

On the concentrate side, the SakiBomb Shroom Kitty Mini Rig stands 6.0 inches tall. It comes with a matching bowl piece and a hand-sculpted kitty figure.

Empire Glassworks Pipes: Spoons, Hand Pipes and Chillums

Empire Glassworks pipes are dry pipes, so they work without water and travel more easily than a bong. Most of the range is glass spoon pipes with deep bowls and thick, hand-blown walls. The Kraken Spoon Pipe comes in small and large sizes, with a glass octopus on the bowl.

Food and animal shapes run through this side of the catalog. The Avocadope Chillum is made from thick borosilicate glass, with the bowl set into the front of the avocado. Fans of fun shapes can compare it with a wider range of themed and novelty pipes.

Prefer a curved stem? Sherlock pipes put the bowl on a bent neck. A chillum hits differently from a spoon, and this guide to the best chillum pipes breaks down how to pick one.

PuffCo Accessories by Empire Glassworks

The brand makes hand-blown glass accessories for four PuffCo devices: the Peak, Peak Pro, Proxy, and Pivot. Each one swaps in for a standard part, so you keep your device and change the look. All of these pieces use borosilicate glass. The table shows what each accessory fits and one key detail.

Match the accessory to your device first, then pick a theme. The devices themselves live in the PuffCo collection and are sold separately.

Empire Glassworks Dab Tools, Bowls and Terp Jars

The smaller pieces in this lineup finish off a full setup. Spinner caps are lampworked carb caps with a spinning lid that helps you control airflow. Several come with a matching terp pearl. Airflow matters most on quartz bangers and nails, so the two make a natural pair.

The Donuts Dabber is 4.75 inches long, with a metal tip and a lampworked borosilicate handle. Sculpted dab tools and dabbers like this make loading part of the ritual. For dry herb, themed replacement bowls and slides bring the art style to a bong you already own. Terp jars, like the 3-inch Sunshine Garden Terp Jar, use an airtight seal to keep concentrates fresh.
