Expert tips
Break in your chillum before use
For traditional clay or ceramic chillums, it’s a good idea to gently break them in before the first use. This helps seal the pores and gives you a smoother, more even smoke. Bonus: less fine dust on the first draw.
Choose your material with care
Soapstone retains heat exceptionally well and helps deliver pleasantly cool smoke, ideal for a more intense session. Ceramic is flavour-neutral and durable, while wood offers a natural character with a subtle taste of its own.
Smoke with the right technique
The chillum is usually held vertically. The draw is powerful and direct, ideally short and controlled. Pull too hard and it gets hot, which can dull the flavour.
