How It Works
See the Genius Pipe in action
No water, no mess, no ordinary pipe -- here's exactly how it works.
Why it's different
No Water, No Mess
The interior is lined with hundreds of dimples that create small vortexes as smoke passes through, cooling and filtering it without water. Nothing to fill, empty, or carry upright -- it's fully portable and ready whenever you are.
All-Aluminum, Built to Last
The body is machined from two aluminum blocks held together by eight magnets. The dimpled insert and slider are aluminum too -- no glass and no plastic anywhere in the smoke path.
Stays Cool to Hold
The aluminum body has enough mass to dissipate heat quickly, so it stays comfortable in hand. Chill the mouthpiece sleeve in the fridge beforehand for an even cooler draw.
Two Sizes
OG measures 2 by 6 inches with over 1,500 interior dimples. Mini measures 1.5 by 5 inches with over 1,800 dimples, since a smaller chamber needs more of them.
Easy to Clean
Slide the two halves apart to open both dimpled surfaces at once. Genius Cleaner (spray-on, naturally orange-scented, non-combustible) is the recommended cleanser -- alcohol followed by soapy water works too.
Backed for Life
The 30-day LOVE IT! guarantee covers a return if you don’t love it. The Genius Life warranty covers manufacturing defects for the life of the pipe -- meant to change hands and carry its own history.

The Physics Behind It
The same dimple effect that makes a golf ball fly further creates the vortex cooling inside every Genius Pipe -- letting you breathe in fully cooled smoke, cough-free.
Anatomy of a Genius Pipe
Slider, dimpled chamber, and mouthpiece -- three aluminum pieces held together by magnets, no glass or plastic anywhere in the smoke path.
Why Buy Authentic
Non-toxic anodized aluminum (the same material used in surgical instruments), real magnets that actually hold, and a pipe built to last -- imitations cut corners on all three.

How to use your Genius
Short videos and simple steps: using the slider, changing the screen and keeping your pipe clean.
Using your Genius
- Pack the bowl over the TruTaste Genius Screen.
- Slide the slider up until you can see your herb through the Genius logo cutout, and light it right through there. The logo cutout limits the airflow a little for a more even draw.
- Don't suck, just inhale slowly. Air flows freely through the pipe, so no extra effort is needed.
- When you are done, slide the cover back to put out the bowl. Four strong magnets hold the slider in place, so you can pocket it and go.
Replacing the screen
- The two-tier bowl holds a standard 0.75" screen.
- TruTaste Genius Screens are surgical-grade stainless steel: no metallic taste and no loose wires.
- For daily use, change your screen every 2 to 4 weeks. A TruTaste screen can last up to 3 months.
- They fit both Genius pipes and traditional pipes, and come in 3 and 12 packs.
Cleaning your Genius
- Separate the top from the bottom (they are held together by magnets).
- Wipe the inside down with 70% alcohol, then rinse with warm water or wipe with a dry cloth.
- Snap it back together. Clean the bowl every few weeks with a soft damp tissue, and the inside every few months or as needed.
- Please do not use harsh professional pipe cleaners: they can ruin the finish of your pipe.
What's inside
- Like the dimples on a golf ball, the patented dimples inside a Genius create thousands of tiny swirls of air that cool the smoke and catch tar and resin before it reaches you.
- No water, no extra filters: you taste your herb the way it was meant to taste.
- Three parts held together by high-strength magnets: the slider, the top and the bottom.
