Bubbler

Bubblers serve as a middle option between bongs and hand pipes. Bubblers use water to filter the smoke, much like bongs, but do so at a smaller, more compact size. Hand pipes, meanwhile, don’t have a water-filtration method and are usually slightly smaller than bubblers making them even more portable than a bubbler, which can be transported easily as well.

You can utilize the mouth piece to pour water into your bubbler. Continue to fill the bottom cavity of your bubbler until the water level rises above the bottom of the downstem, such that when you inhale, the smoke is brought through the water at the bottom, cooling and filtering the smoke.

Cleaning your bubbler is best done with isopropyl alcohol and warm water. Bubblers can take a bit more care and consideration while cleaning due to not being able to deconstruct bubblers, like you can with a bong. This just means you may have to take extra time to work the alcohol into all the crevices to ensure a totally clean piece.

Yes! Bubblers provide a layer of water filtration that dry pipes don’t have. This water filtration cools the smoke, making it more gentle for your throat, while also filtering out some irritants making a more enjoyable experience.

Bubblers are great for dry herbs! To some degree, they can also handle some concentrates. For the best combo, try a base of dry herb and a topping of concentrates such that you can ensure that the concentrates receive the proper temperature burn to create the desired experience.
