Bubblers NZ
Greenhut · New Zealand
A bubbler sits between a hand pipe and a full waterpipe. It is small enough to hold, but the smoke still draws through a water chamber before it reaches you, so it cools on the way in the way a dry pipe cannot. Most are one piece of glass or silicone with a fixed bowl, which means fewer parts to lose and less to clean than a bong with a removable downstem.
The range here covers glass and silicone builds, including a cone-holder style knuckle pipe and a bubbler mouthpiece that fits the Xvape Vital. Fast, discreet NZ-wide delivery from Greenhut.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a bubbler and a bong? Size and construction. A bong is usually taller, stands on its own and takes a removable downstem and cone. A bubbler is hand-held, often one solid piece, and holds much less water.
How much water goes in a bubbler? Enough to cover the bottom of the stem and no more. Because the chamber is small, a centimetre too much and it pulls water through to the mouthpiece.
Glass or silicone? Glass keeps the taste clean and lets you see when it needs emptying. Silicone survives being dropped, which matters more on a piece designed to be held and carried.
How do I clean one? Isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt, plugged at both ends and shaken, then rinsed with warm water. The fixed bowl means you cannot pull it apart, so shaking does the work a brush would do on a larger piece.
