Sidecar

Sidecar pieces are a compact option that deliver smoother smoke with the help of water filtration while keeping splashback to a minimum.

Smart Design for Cleaner Hits

The mouthpiece sits on the side of the chamber instead of directly on top, and that shift changes the whole experience. With the airflow redirected, water stays where it belongs and never reaches your lips. You get the cooling and diffusion of water filtration without the annoyance of splashback.

Stability in a Compact Frame

Even with a side-mounted mouthpiece, these pieces are carefully shaped to stay balanced. A broad base or reinforced chamber spreads the weight evenly, so you can set your sidecar down between pulls without worrying about tipping. That combination of balance and portability makes them easy to use in any setting.

Visual Appeal That Pops

The unique angle of a sidecar creates a profile that instantly stands out from other small glass pieces. Glass artists often highlight this shape with bold color trails, accents, or patterns that catch the light from different directions. It’s a functional pipe that doubles as an eye-catching piece of art.

Cleaning for Longevity

Cleaning a sidecar is straightforward if you keep up with regular care. A soak in isopropyl alcohol with coarse salt breaks down buildup, and pipe cleaners make it easy to reach the side stem. Consistent maintenance keeps both the glass and the unique design clear and ready for every session.

Sidecar FAQs

A sidecar has a mouthpiece on the side of the main chamber rather than the top. This layout prevents splashback and changes the way the piece looks and feels in your hand.

No. When designed properly, the airflow remains smooth and efficient. You get the same cooling and filtration as a bubbler, only with the added comfort of a side-mounted mouthpiece.

Yes. The angled stem makes it much harder for water to travel toward the mouthpiece. That design is one of the main reasons people choose a sidecar.

Not when crafted with quality glass and balance in mind. A well-made sidecar uses thick borosilicate glass and a steady base so the angled stem doesn’t create stress points.

Choose a model with a solid base, clean joint work, and thick glass. The best sidecars balance durability and comfort while showing off colorwork that enhances the unique silhouette.
