How does Chameleon Glass work Chameleon glass is made by vaporizing a metal alloy often silver or gold into the piece itself.
Chameleon Glass is one of the most popular materials for smoking pipes, bubblers, and bongs. It can be hand blown in any imaginable shape or size. While the color-changing properties of chameleon glass may seem like magic, there is actually some science behind it.
To make chameleon glass, a metal alloy is vaporized onto the glass surface and then covered with another layer of glass. The metal alloy contains lightly colored ions, which are nearly invisible on perfectly clean glass. This being said, clean chameleon glass will look more translucent than regular glass. As the color-changing pipe, bubbler or bong gets used, resin build-up on the inside of the pipe will make the colors more visible.
A piece with chameleon glass may appear to change colors as you move it around. The colors in the glass are not actually changing but appear to change based on the light passing through or reflecting off the glass.
In terms of function, there is no difference between chameleon glass and regular glass. However, usually chameleon glass pieces are high quality whereas regular glass has varying levels of quality. The main difference is aesthetics. Chameleon glass looks pretty cool and it is fun watching a piece develop color over weeks or months.
Arguably the coolest thing about chameleon glass is that every piece has a unique pattern. Since the color-containing metal alloy is not painted on, but vaporized into the glass, this guarantees that each piece will look at least a little different from any other. Also, you will be the first person to really see the colors as you use your chameleon glass pipe, bubbler or bong.
