BL Stainless Steel Pipe Bowl for Zippsy S
The Zippsy is a traditional Moroccan pipe, historically handmade from olive wood, with a separate, replaceable bowl that holds your herb. Black Leaf makes this bowl from stainless steel, a material known for its durability and resistance to corrosion and high temperatures. Where a ceramic or stone bowl can break if dropped, stainless steel stays intact under normal use, making it a practical choice for daily use or travel.
Use and maintenance
Place the bowl into the designated opening of your Zippsy pipe; size S matches the standard 7 mm hole. Stainless steel is easy to clean: let the bowl soak for a while in isopropyl alcohol to loosen residue, rinse with warm water afterwards and let it dry thoroughly before use. Because the material has no pores like ceramic, dirt sticks less easily and cleaning goes faster. Regular cleaning keeps airflow optimal and prevents a burnt aftertaste.
For anyone who often carries their Zippsy along in a bag or pocket, stainless steel is the most practical choice: the material withstands knocks, high temperatures and frequent use without cracking or chipping over time the way ceramic sometimes does. It also suits people who regularly switch between different herbs, since stainless steel rinses clean quickly between sessions.
