Chill Steel Pipes

When we say we’re bringing you something cool, we’re not exaggerating — the Chill is a stainless-steel, vacuum insulated smoking device, designed to take life’s bumps and bruises while also keeping your water cold for hours. 

The Chill is the brainchild of Rich Gonzalez, a Deadhead and cannabis enthusiast with a background in the housewares industry where he developed and marketed cooking utensils and insulated water bottles — the latter of which became the inspiration for a “killer bong.” Gonzalez spent more than a year perfecting his invention and securing patents for its double-walled construction and first-of-its-kind interior ceramic lining.

“With many of the other chilled devices on the market, you must stick them in the freezer, but we circumvented that with the vacuum insulation, so you can put ice and water in it, and it will stay cold for 12 to 14 hours. And because the cold it trapped inside, the outside doesn’t sweat, making hands and surfaces wet,” Gonzalez says. “The special ceramic lining is essentially like glass (after being cured in the manufacturing process), so hits are flavorful, and because the pipe is modular, you simply screw off the neckpiece to clean.”

The OG Chill is a sleek stainless-steel version with a nine-inch neck. You can also choose from a variety of solid color bases and interchangeable neckpieces in patterns including snakeskin, marble, cherry wood, and psychedelic floral. There’s even pink and rainbow Glitterbomb limited editions that Gonzales says are particularly “Instagram worthy” and appealing to young ladies among the smoking crowd. 

Gonzalez has hundreds of designs in the pipeline, and will soon add accessories including glass perks, attachments to turn the Chill into a dab rig, an ash catcher and even a mold that makes the perfect size ice cubes to fit into the device. He purposefully created the threading to be “open source”
to work with major water pipe components on the market.

It’s almost amazing that the same institutions that brought us the 2008 financial crisis have a problem with selling glass pipes. Almost. The truth is that an industry's past sins are only held against it when the money isn’t right. Big banks were willing to risk cratering the U.S. housing market because the profits were too good to ignore. But the cannabis industry rolls a different kind of paper, so instead of a slap on the wrist, it gets a surcharge.
Smokeshop and counterculture enthusiasts enjoy discovery as part of the experience. Customers enjoy browsing. When they walk into a shop, they don't simply grab a product and leave. They look for something new. This is the main reason flyers and posters still work. Smokeshops and dispensaries are highly visual environments. You want to see bold artwork, psychedelic graphics, and street-style posters that naturally capture attention.
The use of cannabis in professional sports has always been a controversial subject. While some are firm believers that all substances should be banned from professional sports altogether, most people aren’t thinking about cannabis when they’re discussing performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs). In fact, there have been countless cannabis users in the world of professional sports throughout the years; some of whom are more open about their love for the plant than others.

It’s been several months since President Donald Trump signed an executive order to reschedule cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III within the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).

For years, we’ve been told that this industry is the Wild West: a place where the only law amounts to whatever the guy with the gun says. But over the last 12 months, state governments have passed a spate of new regulations that promise to swap the relative lawlessness of poor enforcement of vague rules with real law and order.
