Bubblers

Many smokers use glass bubblers for smoking as a way to cool and smooth out the smoke as it passes through the chamber of the pipe. In essence, bubblers make for a more pleasant hit. Smoking bubblers also make the taste cleaner and the smoke cooler on the throat. The bubbler is often smaller and more portable than a bong (some call it a “mini bong”), and captures heavier particles to keep them out of the lungs.

Components of a Bubbler

A smoking bubbler has a very simple design with just a few components. It’s often considered a better, easier to use option than a bong. After grinding the weed, the bowl is where you place and pack it. The water chamber holds the water (either distilled or tap) that cools and filters the weed for a gentler smoke. The stem connects the bowl to the water chamber. Finally, the mouthpiece is used to inhale the cooled smoke. It’s recommended to replace the water in the water chamber after each smoke.

Why Choose a Bubbler for Smoking?

Some enthusiasts swear that using water bubblers for smoking vastly improves the experience. For starters, a bubbler is much smaller than a traditional bong and easier to carry. A bubbler cools the smoke, making it easier on your throat. It allows you to control the flow plus it filters out larger bits before they can get into your lungs.

Another benefit of using a smoking bubbler is how it brings out the flavor of your herb by removing heat and harshness. You can really savor it versus what you might experience through a pipe or joint. Finally, smoking bubblers allow for really clean “hits” because of the longer air path and water filtration.

Difference Between a Bubbler, Bong & Pipe

A bubbler and a bong both filter smoke through water for a cleaner smoke than what you typically get through a pipe. A bong is larger and often more complex than a smoking bubbler (which is sometimes referred to a “mini bong”). Bubblers are more portable, compact, and are usually less expensive than a bong.

Both bongs and water bubblers for smoking allow you to cool and control the smoke for a better hit that’s less harsh on the throat. Because it’s larger, a bong tends to cool the smoke more efficiently than the smaller bubbler. Unlike a pipe, both capture larger particles before they reach your lungs.

Types of Bubblers

There are basically six types of water bubblers for smoking. Glass bubblers for smoking are among the most popular. Mini bubblers are beloved for their discreet portability. Silicone bubblers are becoming more popular because they don’t break. A “hammer” bubbler is very distinct looking, with the bowl, chamber, and downstem making up the head, while the mouthpiece and stem look like the handle.

The sidecar smoking bubbler is designed a bit like the hammer bubbler, but the bowl and chamber are on the side. Mini bubblers are small, discreet, and portable, while the Sherlock style looks much like the famous pipe and adds a unique vibe.

Options To Choose: Mini, Portable, or Desktop

All bubblers are special pipes that utilize water to cool and filter your smoke. Users enjoy longer, cleaner, and more flavorful hits. There are three sizes to choose from.

Mini bubblers typically resemble a small handheld pipe and are meant to be used on the go. They’re very discreet.

A portable smoking bubbler is larger than the mini but is still small enough to take along when you want to cool and filter your smoke.

Desktop water bubblers for smoking are larger and can be more ornate in design. They’re chosen for use at home or any other place where you can sit and relax.

Different Bubbler Designs, Same Results

All water bubblers for smoking cool the smoke and allow for a smoother, cleaner hit as the smoke passes through a long chamber. They provide a more flavorful and controlled high. Bubblers are basically a happy medium between using a bong and a pipe. The different designs among smoking bubblers cater to different lifestyle needs and personal aesthetics.

Some enthusiasts like the hammer-style smoking bubbler because it offers extra room in the water tank. This allows for better percolators to improve your smoking experience even more. Hammer bubblers are also great for tabletop use at home or on the road.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • - How does a bubbler work?

    Once the dry herb is added to the bowl of the bubbler and lit, the smoke travels to the water chamber. Then it comes back up through the stem where it’s inhaled. The water cools and filters the smoke so that it’s smoother.
  • - How do you use a bubbler?

    Carefully fill the chamber with water. Grind your herb then place it into the bowl then ignite it. Cover the carb hole and inhale; you’ll hear the water bubbling. The longer you cover the hole as you inhale, the more potent the hit, so start slowly. The final step is releasing the carb hole and inhaling to clear the remaining smoke. Release carb hole and clear chamber.
  • - How to Clean a Bubbler Pipe

    Regularly clean your bubbler to avoid the build-up of bacteria and resin. Start by emptying it completely. Mix some isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt (a natural abrasive) in a bowl. Submerge your bubbler for about 30 minutes. You can also add this mixture to the inside of the chamber and gently agitate it. Use a cotton swab to reach into tricky areas. Rinse with water then air-dry.
  • - Are Bubblers Better than Pipes?

    Some people enjoy using bubblers for smoking versus using a pipe, mainly because it cools the smoke and makes it easier on the throat. Some feel they can better regulate the smoke and thus control the high. The water in the bubbler filters out certain particles, making it easier on the lungs.
  • - How much water should be used in a bubbler?

    Putting the right amount of water in the bubbler is important. Every bubbler has a slightly different fill point. If you can see inside it, fill it to just over the downstem (the skinny tube that extends to the bowl). If you can’t see it, add water a bit at a time, testing it to find the desired airflow. Too much water dilutes the smoke and causes splashback on the mouth; too little interferes with optimal bubbler function and creates a harsher inhale.
  • - How often should I change the water in my bubbler?

    It’s recommended to empty the water after every smoke, or at least once a day if you use it frequently throughout. Dirty water can create bacteria and odor. Using fresh water keeps the bubbler clean and the flavor of your smoke tasting its best.
