A glass pipe wont ever break from regular or even excessive use. You wont ever get it hot enough unless you hold a flame to it for a unrealistically long period of time. If you are trying to clean it by boiling it in water, (best it Epsom salt is added) it still wont break due to the heat, however it will become very brittle and excessive care is needed to remove it. Once you allow it to cool again it will be just as strong as it was before.

Why does the hot glass of a kerosene lamp cracks when wet with water?
The glass of a kerosene lamp while glowing is hot. When water falls on it, there is a sudden change in temperature, which causes the glass to break.
Why is hot water poured to a drinking glass more likely to break the glass?
The hot water will increase the temperature of the glass and cause the inside of the gas to expand faster than the outside.This will exert a force on the glass and the glass may crack.
Can water that's too hot break glass in a dishwasher?
Glass does not typically "break" at any temperature. If you want to be technical, the melting point of glass is 2600-2900 °F, which is much (much) hotter than a dishwasher is capable of. When things are hot, they grow very slightly larger due to their molecular composition. When something is hot and is suddenly made much cooler, it will quickly shrink back to normal. When fragile things like glass are cooled down too fast, the shape change is enough to crack or break them, especially if the glass already has hairline cracks.
Why does glass break when exposed to cold temperature on the outside and warm temperature on the inside?
if you would put a glass wine cup into the freezer (ice box) and take it out and run it under steaming hot water, it will break, its just like ice take dircetly from the freezer and put it under hot water you will here it crackle and break!

How do you break a glass without touching it?
There are many ways to break glass without touching it. Here are a few methods: To do it with sound you need a sound that is a resonant frequencies of the glass you want to break. A sound that is the right frequency with enough volume will put energy into the glass and break it. Glass is one of the easiest materials to break using sound although any object can be broken using sound. A high enough air presure difference on glass surface will cause it to break. This is why they say to open windows when there is a tornado. Electricity at a high enough power can also break glass but it must overcome the non-conductive nature of glass before it will break. Even once you overcome the non-conductive nature of glass the heat generated by the electricity is what truly breaks it. Rapid temperature change (hot or cold) is the most common ways that glass is broken without any
Why does an empty glass cracks when you pour very hot water into it but does not crack if there is a metal spoon in it?
It will crack because like clay in a hot oven, if all the spots are not covered correctly, it will have a chance of cracking, but when the hot water gets into the crack, it will start to make it bigger. If the expansion is uneven, the glass will break and I don't understand why it won't break with a metal spoon.
It is not ideal to put boiling water on a drinking glass since it may break. Is it true Why or why not?
When you pour hot water in a glass, the inner side of glass expands due to heat energy while outer side is relatively cooler. Due to this effect the pressure is developed and cracking of glass occur
