Studies show that people place greater value on things after they own them.
Today I'm going to show you 14 cool smoking accessories that I didn't truly appreciate until after I added them to my stash.
If you're looking for something to show the oh-so-special someone in your life how much you care, this guide is full of gift ideas for smokers. From a smart mill that grinds herb AND packs cones down to a stash container disguised as a golf ball, I consider these the best smoking accessories of 2020.
The best part?
Each of these gadgets was tested by myself and our featured experts and they work AMAZING.
OTTO Grinder - $128.00
Features:
-
Smart Milling Machine
-
Automatically Fills Cones
-
Packs 20-30 Cones Per Full Charge
-
Single Button Control
-
Spill-Proof Funnel
-
USB Charging
As much as I love grinding and rolling, they both take time and energy. OTTO™ by banana bros.™ does both for you in about a minute.
It not only mills and fills for you. It does so VERY efficiently. The dry herb is perfectly fluffy, the cones tightly packed. And the burn is slow and even.
If you know someone who has a hard time rolling, this is a fitting gift.
How does this amazing OTTO contraption make the perfect cone, you ask?
The chamber is spring-loaded, sensing the consistency of dry herb and adjusting pressure and rotation accordingly in real time.
"The Banana Bros. OTTO Grinder makes packing my prerolls a cinch. I like the compact style and it actually saves me time when I'm getting ready for a smoke session with friends. OTTO has AI that adjusts the grinding and packing process to give you a perfectly packed cone. I miss out on the mess that normally comes with rolling and am left with an even burn each time. I also get an even grind for herb when using my flower vaporizer which makes the OTTO good for smokers and vape users alike!"
Even if you vape, OTTO comes in handy. You can remove the bottom tube and load dry herb directly into your vaporizer chamber.
There's tons of information out there about how the OTTO Grinder works. I would definitely recommend learning more because this gadget could be a game-changer.
Higher Standards Supreme Clean Kit - $35.00
Features:
-
All-in-One Kit
-
Quality Ingredients
-
Deep Cleaning
-
Sleek and Functional Design
When I think of cleaning my glass, I "ugh" a little. That's why it was refreshing to find Higher Standards. Their lineup of premium cleaning products and tools treats pipe cleaning more like a ritual than a chore.
This is the perfect gift for smokers who truly love their glass pipes.
The Higher Standards Supreme Clean Kit left my glass looking brand new, and my usual cleaning day woes were replaced by, believe it or not, enjoyment, relief, and satisfaction.
Each supply has the air of a luxury product, with quality ingredients and innovative takes on classic tools and products. Here are a few examples of how this cleaning kit lives up to its name:
1) The ISO Pure isopropyl alcohol is 99% when the average iso is 70%.
2) The Pipe Stix cotton swabs have hard, dart-like tips and long handles for cleaning hard-to-reach spots. They're not your average q-tip.
3) The Tube Tops plug up your water pipe so you can shake it more thoroughly when it's full of rock salt and isopropyl.
What does all this mean?
Well, I tested out the Supreme Clean Kit on my rig after a few weeks of neglect. And, frankly, the deep-cleaning action was impressive.
The best thing about Higher Standards?
The products feel more like high-end cosmetic items than cheap automotive cleaners. They perform like it, too.

Reduces Gunk

100% Natural
A.J. Fabrizio, director of research at Terra Tech, got it right when he told Leafly, "if the water (you fill your water pipe with) has been chlorinated, that chlorine flavor will carry through."
If you're tired of smoking chemicals, Piece Water is a 100% all-natural alternative to tap water that offers cleaner tasting hits. It also prevents the build-up of gunk.
Here's what impressed me most about Piece Water…
The thickness of this solution makes for deeper pulls. So I enjoyed more flavor and denser hits.
This is a very cool smoking accessory for getting more out of your water pipe with less mess.
