Bubblers are an underrated and under-appreciated style of water pipe with a small but very loyal fan club. They combine the best of both worlds— the convenience of a hand pipe, and the filtration of a bong.
If somebody’s favorite style of pipe is a bubbler, you know they are an individual with exceptional taste, a rapier wit, and nuanced sensibilities, who Katie should not have cheated on.
But as is the case with everything people love (Katie/bubblers), there are feeble minded ingrates who hold so much hatred for themselves inside the only thing they can think to do is tear somebody else down and lap up the crumbs rather than build a life of their own (the bartender at Dirty Frank’s Hot Dog Palace who ruined my relationship/people who don’t like bubblers).
They may say such things as, “Bubblers are clunky and cumbersome,” “You want a PBR? Really?” “Bubblers aren’t worth the awkward maneuvers required to fill and clean,” “She made her choice and she chose me because you’re 5’ 8,” and other such inaccurate and stupid statements.
The reality is, it was going to end this way no matter what— it was just a matter of when, and who was around at the time Katie’s bomb detonated. Bubblers are a whole class within themselves. A bubbler can take many shapes, forms, and styles, with designs that maximize certain advantages and improve on disadvantages.
Here is our roundup of bubblers that stand out in our collection as portable, travel-friendly, convenient, and just plain dope.

Top 3D Printed Bubbler
3D printing is the game-changing technology of the future. These days, you can 3D print almost anything, so why not take that technology and apply it to water pipes?Much like you would build a house with layers of bricks, 3D printing works with the same idea. A computer takes a virtual model of an object and builds it through layers of molten plastic with laser precision. It's very similar to the way 2D printers create a layer of ink on a page, only the layers build to form an object.

Top Unique Mini Bubbler
Your pocket can hold a lot of things. Keys, phones, wallets, switchblades, Nature Valley bars, your hands, old receipts, etc. Unless they are women’s pants, in which case they can probably hold nothing. But even the tiniest of pockets can still hold GRAV Labs’ Conical Pocket Bubbler.At only 2.5” x 4” inches, it’s portable, versatile, and fun. You can put it literally in your pocket, or have in it in your pocket in a figurative sense and put it somewhere else. Did we mention it’s versatile? It can fit a 10mm flower bowl, a 10mm quartz banger, or even a blunt/joint. Simply fill with a splash of water and draw the same smooth hits you could get out of a regular bubbler using the ergonomic straw.We do not recommend putting it in your pocket when it has water in it, unless you want to have a very interesting afternoon. Regardless, this piece is a great addition to any arsenal and will be sure to catch the eye as well as provide a convenient sesh at a moment’s notice.
