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.
