Welcome to American Helix – A Legacy of Innovation and Craftsmanship
At American Helix, our mission is to elevate the smoking experience through expert craftsmanship and innovative design. My journey as a pipe maker began with an invaluable apprenticeship under the legendary Bob Snodgrass, whose mentorship taught me the time-honored traditions of glassblowing and inspired me to push the boundaries of glass artistry. Bob’s pioneering spirit continues to influence my work, as I strive to uphold his legacy through every piece we create.
In 2007, drawing on my background in fluid dynamics, I introduced the Helix design—an innovative piece that harnesses Bernoulli’s principle to create a unique, swirling "Helix" effect for a cooler, smoother smoke. The Helix quickly became a favorite across Texas, topping sales in countless shops. As demand grew, I partnered with a manufacturer in Austin, helping make the Helix the #1 hand pipe in America by 2010.
The Helix Pipe is designed for optimal performance, featuring finely engineered jet punctures near the mouthpiece. Here’s what makes it exceptional:
- Cooler Smoke: The spinning effect actively cools the smoke before it reaches you, offering a smoother, gentler hit compared to standard pipes.
- Cleaner Hits: As the smoke spirals, it deposits tars and byproducts on the inner glass surface, resulting in a cleaner, purer smoke for enhanced enjoyment.
- Gentle Spiral Inhalation: The Helix design minimizes harshness by channeling the smoke in a smooth, swirling motion, easing the draw and delivering a pleasant sensation with every inhale.
In 2012, I founded American Helix to focus on quality and innovation, honoring both my craft and the legacy of my mentor. Today, American Helix remains dedicated to producing high-quality, user-friendly products that redefine the smoking experience. With each piece, we continue our commitment to excellence, creating superior smoking accessories that set a new standard for enthusiasts nationwide.
