Chill is the world’s first indestructible, stainless-steel, vacuum-insulated smoking apparatus, designed to keep your hits icy cold. If you’re tired of the constant worry of breaking your favorite piece, this innovative apparatus saves the day — and your stash! Let’s dive into what makes the Chill Steel Pipe a standout choice if you’re looking for a bong that’s built to last.
About Chill
Chill Steel Pipes was born from an inspiring vision of innovation and resilience. Rich Gonzalez, a seasoned veteran in home goods manufacturing, had a groundbreaking idea during his tenure crafting vacuum-insulated bottles. In late 2019, he teamed up with industrial-design Sam Judelson and BudsFeed founder Justin Johnson to create durable, high-performance smoking devices. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the team pushed forward. In April 2021, Chill Steel Pipes launched rave reviews and quickly gained recognition for its design innovation.
Tragically, Rich was diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer and passed away in October 2022. Today, his legacy endures through the company’s continued growth and success. Prior to Rich’s passing, Justin Johnson assumed the role of CEO, and Rich’s majority stake in the company was placed into a trust for his 4-year-old daughter Hailey so that she would be the main beneficiary of the company’s long-term success.
Today, Chill stands as a tribute to Rich’s vision and dedication, with every purchase honoring his memory and supporting his daughter Hailey’s future.
A new standard in durability
The Chill Steel Pipe is an absolute game-changer in the world of smoking devices. Standing at 13 inches tall with an impressive 8.5-inch neckpiece, this bong is crafted from food-grade stainless steel and is designed to outlast any glass piece you’ve ever owned. The body is double-wall vacuum insulated, a feature borrowed from premium reusable water bottles, to ensure your hits stay icy cold and smooth.
The pipe has a heavy-duty, tactile feel that is incredibly satisfying to handle. Imagine the first time you held a Yeti tumbler; the Chill Steel Pipe delivers a similar sense of quality and robustness. The solid, substantial feel and a perfectly balanced weight enhance your smoking experience.
Smart design for superior performance
This pipe comes apart into four key components: the base, the neckpiece, the diffuser down the stem, and the bowl. The neckpiece is interchangeable and comes in various designs like Snake Skin and Tie Dye, allowing you to customize your pipe to suit your style. The neckpiece also detachable, which makes it incredibly easy to clean.
Both the base and neckpiece are made from stainless steel, so they’re virtually unbreakable. The diffuser down stem, crafted from aluminum, is impressively long, reaching from the bottom of the bowl to the base floor.
The Chill Steel Pipe also boasts a ceramic-coated interior, which not only makes cleaning a breeze but also ensures smooth hits every time. Each pipe features durable aluminum downstem and a 14mm borosilicate glass bowl. All gaskets are made of food-grade silicone, and the diffuser fits any 14mm bowl piece, which means you can easily swap out the included bowl if you please.
Cleaning made easy
One of the highlights of this pipe is its ease of maintenance. All pieces, including the downstem itself, come apart to make cleaning easy.
To keep your pipe in top condition, Chill recommends avoiding using clay-based cleaners, which may damage the ceramic interior. Similarly, steer clear of salt, which is too abrasive and can cause surface rust on exposed stainless steel if not promptly cleaned.
Instead, use isopropyl alcohol for effective cleaning. For best results, shake and soak your pipe in the alcohol. For residual odors or flavors, fill the base with warm water and add a tablespoon of baking soda. Let it sit for about 40 minutes, then rinse thoroughly to refresh your pipe.

With only one small, replaceable glass part, you can rest easily knowing that your pipe is built to last.
