How to Use a Glass Blunt (Twist & Push Styles Explained)

Glass blunts offer the full experience of smoking a blunt—minus the rolling, tobacco wrap, or waste. They’re reusable, pocket-sized, and deliver clean flavor with minimal effort. Whether you're a beginner looking for a simple way to smoke flower or a seasoned toker wanting to skip the wrap, glass blunts are a slick option.

In this guide, we’ll cover the types of glass blunts, how to use them, tips for getting the smoothest hits, and how to keep them clean.

🔎 What Is a Glass Blunt?

A glass blunt is a reusable smoking device made from durable borosilicate glass. It works like a chillum but holds more flower and allows for on-demand ashing without relighting. The mouthpiece pushes your ash out as you go — either by twisting or pushing the internal mechanism.

🌀 Types of Glass Blunts

🔁 Twist-Style Glass Blunt (aka Twisty Blunt)

This version features a spiral-shaped insert inside the glass tube. You twist the corkscrew to ash out your burnt material and expose fresh flower.

Pros:

Looks cool and spirals smoke as it travels
Distributes flower evenly as you load
Easy to rotate out ash mid-session

Best for: Stylish sessions, slow burns, and visual appeal

👉 Push-Style Glass Blunt (Slide Blunt)

This is a straight tube with a sliding inner stem. You push the stem forward to ash as you go.

Pros:

Simpler design, fewer parts to clean
Great for quick seshes or travel
Usually cheaper than twist styles

Best for: Fast, simple hits without flair

🧪 What Are They Made From?

Most glass blunts are made of borosilicate glass, which is heat-resistant and shock-tolerant. Some models include:

Silicone grips or caps for heat protection and travel
Metal inserts (usually anodized aluminum or stainless steel) for durability
Rubber O-rings or stoppers to hold everything in place

🚀 How to Use a Glass Blunt

Twist Style:
