It makes smoking easier on the throat and lungs, and thus, more enjoyable. The difference between them largely lies in their size, and to a lesser degree, the effectiveness of filtering and cooling.
A bubbler pipe is small and portable, which is convenient, but limits its ability in the cooling department. Bongs are larger and often more complex, with extra features to filter the smoke.
The Stash Shack is an online vape shop offering these and other smoking accessories for the ultimate smoking experience.
A bubbler pipe is a handheld pipe that uses a small water chamber to filter the smoke and make it smoother. Designed to be portable and discreet, its simple construction makes it perfect for on-the-go use. They’re also user-friendly and easy to maintain. If you're using a DynaVap vaporizer, a bubbler for DynaVap is a great way to cool and filter the vapor. Most bubblers are small and feature 10mm or 14mm joints, making them ideal for pairing with compact devices like the DynaVap."
A bong is a water pipe that uses a large water chamber (or, in the case of a recycler bong, more than one) to cool and filter the smoke before inhaling it. They often include extra things like diffusers or percolators to create more filtration. Their size allows for a greater volume of water and bigger hits. However, this design makes them less portable and more expensive than something like a bubbler. They’re often preferred for home use.
While a bong and a bubbler are both smoking accessories that feature a water chamber, there are a few key differences to understand. A bubbler is smaller than a bong and meant to work like a handheld pipe. While convenient and portable, it features a much smaller chamber than a bong, so the filtration is limited by comparison.
A bong is larger, with a bigger water chamber and mouthpiece. The smoke is filtered through the water more thoroughly for a smoother hit. And because of its taller design, it allows you to take bigger, longer hits versus those you get from bubbler bowls.
A bubbler pipe is meant to be handheld and portable. The design is simple, with a small water chamber versus what you’d find in a bong. Bongs are larger, often with extra filtration devices. A recycler bong includes an additional water chamber that filters the smoke even more than a regular bong.
Because it has a larger water chamber, a bong hit will be smoother than what you get from a bubbler pipe. Plus, bongs typically have a taller mouthpiece, allowing for longer inhales.
The design of a bubbler pipe is very simple and compact. Because it’s meant to be portable, there aren’t a lot of bells and whistles, so filtration through the water chamber is basic. A bong is larger, allowing for much greater water volume and room for additional filtration.
A bubbler is a great choice if you want to experience a smoother smoke when you’re on the go. It’s handheld, portable, and discreet.
Because it’s larger, bulkier, and sometimes has complicated parts, a bong is not generally ideal to use outside of a home.
Bubblers have a simple design, are smaller, and are meant to be portable, so they’re generally more durable than a bong (especially if that bong is being carried around). Bongs may have extra pieces that are subject to breaking.
Bubblers are extremely uncomplicated in design and user-friendly. Simply add water to the small chamber, add your flower to the bowl, ignite it, cover the carb hole, and inhale.
The principle is the same for using a bong. Add just enough water to the chamber (or, in the case of a recycler bong, the multiple chambers) to cover the downstem. Place your flower in the bowl and ignite it. Take a long, steady inhale.
Regularly cleaning either your bubbler or bong is essential to ensure optimal performance.
Because of their uncomplicated design, bubbler pipes are very easy to clean and maintain. There aren’t as many pieces as you’ll find in a bong. Simply flush it out with warm water after each use (to prevent resin buildup). Occasionally, place it in a ziploc bag with some isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt. Shake the bag to help loosen any gunk. Let your bubbler soak in that mixture for a few hours, then dump it out and use pipe cleaners to get inside. Finally, rinse the bubbler with warm water and let it dry before your next use.
A bong can be cleaned in much the same way, but there may be more parts to disassemble.
The Stash Shack carries a line of effective cleaning supplies to make the process easier.
Note: If your bubbler or bong contains any silicone parts, avoid using alcohol as it may damage them.
Both bongs and bubblers can be customized by swapping out elements like the bowl for something more to your taste. You can also add Ash Catchers for extra filtration and to maintain your piece cleaner. They can further customize your piece through things like waterproof decals or by painting them (be sure to use heat-resistant, non-toxic materials).
Because of their size and simplicity, bubblers are very affordable. Bongs are larger and can be somewhat more complex, thus more expensive. The Stash Shack is the vape shop that carries every kind of water pipe for all of your smoking needs.
Whether it’s a quick hit on the go or a relaxed session at home, adding water to your smoke will make it more enjoyable. A bubbler or a bong is the traditional smoking accessory to achieve this, by filtering the hot smoke through a water chamber for cooler, smoother hits.
The bubbler is a portable version of this kind of set-up; because it’s smaller, the hits may be a bit milder than those of a bong, but are far less harsh than using a dry pipe. The simple design makes it easy to clean, and they hold up well as you bring them along.
Bongs, with their larger design and taller mouthpiece, allow for extra filtration and a longer, more intense hit. A recycler bong holds an additional water chamber to create even more smoothness in the smoke.
Of course, the size and greater complexity of the bong make it a bit more expensive than a bubbler, and better for smoking in a stationary place such as your living room.
