About Eyce
Eyce is the brain child of two brothers looking for a revolutionary way to create innovative dry herb pipes utilizing platinum-grade silicone and good old fashioned water. Since 2013, Eyce has been creating flexible, durable, and very easy to clean silicone pipes; no matter how long you go between spot checks. The Eyce Mold made it possible to create an ice water pipe that delivers cooled down dry herb draws. Once the Eyce Mold took off, the founders pivoted to elite silicone pipes, concentrate rigs, and water pipes.
What Is Eyce's Platinum-Cured Silicone?
Eyce Molds uses platinum-cured silicone for their pipes because it is the most durable, cleanest, and safest silicone on the market. While it's been around for over 100 years, Eyce says they've "perfected" the process. It's also considered the best option where purity is a concern like food, beverages, and in this case, water pipes. Platinum silicone is also less oily and greasy compared to peroxide cure silicone.
Here's a brief explanation about creating platinum silicone:
- Before the curing process, silicone rubber is a highly adhesive gel or liquid. In order to turn into a solid and shape it into a water pipe, silicone needs to go through either a platinum cure or peroxide cure.
Eyce Silicone Pipes vs Glass Water Pipes
To enhance your smoking experience, there's a few pros and cons between silicon and glass water pipes that you should consider.
Eyce Silicone Pros:
- Silicone is a better option for beginners and smokers who want to take their glass pipes on trips or to parties.
- Silicone water pipes are easier to clean because you can take it apart to clean hard to reach areas.
- Silicone is more affordable than glass because it takes less effort to create silicone.
Eyce Silicone Cons:
- You're sacrificing the flavorful experience glass offers with silicone.
- You can't see the smoke travel through the glass pipe, so if you want to live the entire smoke experience during a session, silicone isn't the best option for you.
There are a lot of reasons to consider buying an Eyce silicone pipe over a glass piece. Not only is silicone incredibly durable, great for on-the-go use, but it's also food-grade safe and a great heat conductor. Plus, it's more affordable.
