In the fritted glass, a disk or pane is used to filter out the solid particles. Therefore, when the flame is being used to ignite the tobacco, the water begins to filter all of the toxins (the gunk at the bottom of the glass). When the water begins to bubble, the disk will begin to filter the smoke. This glass technique is unique in itself; the idea of putting shatters of glass into glass to make the perk is miraculous. It's genius nonetheless. The first Fritted glass was made in around 2004, and when the creator first came up with the idea he made it with metal, but he still made it fritted. But the Health Department favors glass over metal. So the creator continued to make the fritted glass and infuse it into water pipes and lots more. Most prefer the fritted disk to be in an oil rig; due to the little amount of actually being used. The disk does seem to clog extremely easily, but when used right - with the appropriate ash catcher, the water pipe will work its magic. Cleaning the disk is extremely easy, as long as you keep up with your cleaning dates. If you wait too long, the water pipe will soon clog. It is one of the best perks out there. When you’re looking at the reviews, the fritted disk seems to win by far. The only bad thing about them is that that they do clog fast. But if you spend a little extra to get that ash catcher than it would probably be one of the smoothest smokes you will ever feel. When glass blowers are making their water pipes, they are trying to get so many points of diffusion that its practically vaporizing. Because in the Health department once again, even glass to electronics, glass still wins by a long shot. This is why there are so many different types of water pipes out there. It is an endless war between glass blowers and electronic engineers, which is why you see water pipe attachments for vaporizers too - so you can vaporize your vapor. This form of art is a beautiful way of expressing their creativity, and we can’t wait to see what they come up with next.
