A one-hitter (also oney, bat, tay or oney bat) is typically a slender pipe with a screened narrow bowl designed for a single inhalation, or "hit," of smoke or vapor from about 25 mg. of heated cannabis, tobacco or other dry, sifted herbal preparation. It is distinguished from western-style large-bowl pipes designed for strong tobaccos that are burned hot and tasted but not inhaled. By properly distancing a lighter flame, users can operate at vaporization temperatures and minimize combustion waste and toxicity. A one-hitter can be considered drug paraphernalia in certain regions.
