One-hitter (smoking)
A one-hitter[1] (also oney, bat, tay or oney bat) is typically a slender pipe with a screened narrow bowl designed for a single inhalation, or "hit," of smoke or vapor from about 25 mg. of heated cannabis, tobacco or other dry, sifted herbal preparation.[2] It is distinguished from western-style large-bowl pipes designed for strong tobaccos that are burned hot and tasted but not inhaled. By properly distancing a lighter flame, users can operate at vaporization temperatures and minimize combustion waste and toxicity.[3][4]
Traditional national varieties of one-hitter pipes include kiseru (Japan), midwakh (Middle East), sebsi (Morocco) and some narrow chillums (Nepal, India, Jamaica).
A one-hitter can be considered drug paraphernalia in certain regions.[5][6]
Dugout
Brands of cigarette-sized one hitters for inconspicuous public use are marketed with a rectangular (or sometimes cylindrical) wooden case with two compartments, the larger to store a stash of herb and a narrower, cylindrical hole to store the "bat" or pipe.
Modern adaptations from craft-centric companies use fine and rare woods, bone, acrylic, aluminum, steel, titanium, other metals or plastics, adding features such as grinders, poker storage or lighter chambers. Carried in a shirt pocket, they are a tangible "replacement" for the pack of cigarettes when one is eliminating a smoking habit.[8]
