Helix Pipe - The Iconic Collaboration
Dive into the iconic artistry of Texas with our limited-edition Helix Pipe, a true collaboration between the original Helix creator, BOXFAN (a.k.a. Will Menzies, who stays cool in the Texas heat with his trusty box fan), and the highly respected artist SALT. Together, these two Texas-based glassblowing legends bring over 45 years of combined experience to deliver an unforgettable, functional, and artistic smoking piece.
If you’re not yet familiar with Helix’s reputation, let us explain: the Helix design creates a one-of-a-kind "smoke spin" effect by incorporating fine jet punctures on the outer body near the mouthpiece. These precisely angled holes pull in air from multiple directions, producing a swirling Helix effect. This innovative feature adds layers to your smoke experience:
- Cooler Smoke: The spinning action actively cools down the smoke, allowing for a more comfortable, flavorful draw.
- Cleaner Hits: As the smoke swirls, it leaves tar and impurities on the inner glass surface, giving you a cleaner hit each time.
- Gentle Spiral Inhalation: The Helix’s unique design softens each pull, delivering a gentle spiral that’s easy on the throat and eliminates the harshness of traditional rips.
Beyond the functional mastery, SALT's artistic touch elevates this Helix piece into a collectible work of art. Known for adding incredible personality to each piece, SALT incorporates elements like eyeballs, teeth, faces, suction cups, and textures that reflect his signature style. His use of household tools like belt stamps, all threads, and butter knives creates unmatched character and depth, making each Helix piece truly one of a kind. SALT's renowned "RipCurl" design further enhances functionality, with a 180-degree carved tunnel and thoughtfully placed pop holes to deliver optimal airflow and smoke control.
