What are the main materials for oil burner pipes, and how do I choose?

The guide highlights three core build types: borosilicate for the best cost-to-durability balance, quartz for higher heat tolerance and premium positioning, and silicone-hybrid builds for better drop protection. Choose based on customer torch habits and your target retail price tier.

What are the most popular oil burner pipe shapes for wholesale?

The article groups styles by dominant shape categories (for example classic bulb/bubble styles and other portability-focused designs). Stocking multiple shapes helps match different customer preferences and reduces “wrong style” returns.

Which joint sizes should I stock?

The guide notes two main joint-size standards for matching attachments and store demand. For wholesale planning, keep your best-sellers in the common joint size your market uses most, and add a smaller mix of the secondary size for coverage.

What is the best material for bulk oil burner pipes?

Borosilicate is recommended as the core bulk option because it balances durability and landed cost. Quartz offers higher heat performance but costs more, while silicone-hybrids are useful for drop-prone end users.

Do you offer private-label packaging and what is the typical timeline?

Yes. The guide describes private-label packaging as supported and mentions a production timeline in the 20–25 day range after sample approval, depending on the OEM requirements.

What torch temperature guidance should retailers teach staff?

The guide recommends giving retail staff a clear temperature range and a simple heating/rest routine to reduce misuse-related returns. A printed temperature chart can help standardize staff training.

How do you handle transit breakage for wholesale orders?

The guide explains a photo-based confirmation process for cracked arrivals and indicates credit/replacement handling for wholesale buyers to reduce shipping-risk concerns.

Glass Oil Burner Pipe – 5 Pro Tips to Boost Wax Sales

Q: How many oil burner pipes fit on one pallet?

The guide provides pallet-fit planning guidance and notes that counts can vary by material and packaging method. Ask your supplier for a packing list based on inner-box sizes and protective inserts.

What Types of Glass Oil Burner Pipe Are Best for Wax Wholesale Buyers?

Need a bullet-proof way to judge oil-burner pipes for wax? Feeling lost between bulb, straw, or mini-rig styles? I've got you—11 years on the torch and 10k SKUs in hand.

Oil-burner pipes come in three core materials, four dominant shapes, and two main joint sizes. Matching the right combo to your torch temperature, concentrate viscosity, and retail price point keeps returns low and margins high—here's the playbook I use for every LA-warehouse shipment.

Last month a Colorado buyer called me, panicked—his first pallet arrived elsewhere cracked because he picked thin soda-lime glass from a random supplier. We swapped him into 3 mm borosilicate, and his breakage dropped under 1%. Let's skip that tuition fee for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Conclusion

Core Materials & Construction

Borosilicate, quartz, and silicone-hybrid builds dictate heat shock resistance, flavor, and landed cost—choose based on your customer's torch habits and shelf price.

A single hairline crack will tank repeat orders faster than any ad campaign can recover. I pressure-cycle every lot from our 10-acre plant—torch to 700°C, ice bath, repeat—to weed out weak walls before they ever hit my LA racks.

Borosilicate Glass Pipes

Borosilicate glass oil burner pipes handle daily torching without "spider-web" fractures because the silica-boron mix lowers thermal expansion. At 3–4 mm wall thickness, my defect rate sits under 0.8%. Wholesale buyers love the $1.10–$1.60 landed cost range, making these the backbone of smoke-shop starter kits. Stock clear for budget lines; add milky-pink accents for a $1 uplift.

Quartz Oil Burner Pipes

Quartz clocks a 1,100°C softening point—about 400°C higher than boro—so heavy dabbers chasing "white-wall" vapor won't chazz the chamber. Expect a 25–40% price premium and slimmer margins, but nearly zero warranty claims. I bundle a free torch-temperature chart PDF with each carton to cut misuse returns.

Silicone-Coated / Hybrid Options

Hybrid burners wrap borosilicate with food-grade silicone. Result: drop protection up to five feet on shop floors (my QC drop-test benchmark). They're mother-approved for clumsy consumers but watch for flavor transfer above 280°C—include a usage card. MOQ sits at 500 pcs because of the dual-material cure process; lead time holds at our steady 20–25 days.

Quality Control Checklist

OEM tip

Want your logo laser-etched? We sand-blast before silicone wrap so branding never peels.

Popular Shape Categories

Shape controls vapor path length, reclaim control, and pocketability; pick a style that matches where—and how—your buyers dab.

A New York distributor once filled an endcap with only bulb burners; customers asked for straw styles the next week. Variety matters.

Classic Bubble (Bulb) Burners

The globe head traps vapor so it cools before it hits the stem. Best-sellers sit at 25 mm diameter—easy to heat evenly. I keep 50k units in LA, ready to ship in 48 hours, MOQ one pallet.

❓ Additional FAQ

Q1: What's the best material for bulk oil burner pipes?

Borosilicate wins on cost-to-durability ratio. Quartz tops flavor and heat shock but costs more. Silicone-hybrids suit drop-prone users. I advise a 60/30/10 mix for most U.S. shops.

Q2: How many oil burner pipes fit on one pallet?

Standard 40 × 48-inch pallet stacks 2,400–2,800 borosilicate units in inner boxes, 1,800 quartz due to foam inserts. I can pre-label cartons with barcodes to speed your inbound.

Q3: Do you offer private-label packaging?

Yes. Send a vector logo, pick Pantone colors, approve sample in 4 days. Full run ships in 20–25 days, clears customs with my 100% compensation guarantee.

Q4: What torch temperature should I teach retail staff?

Instruct 350–450°C bulb surface temp. That's a 25-second medium flame on a 6,000 BTU butane torch, followed by a 60-second rest before loading wax. Print my free chart.

Q5: How do you handle transit breakage?

If a piece arrives cracked, snap a quick photo and email me. I credit your next PO or send replacements in your next pallet—no questions asked.
