Bubbler Pipes

Bubble, Sip, Repeat: Bubblers for Every Session

A bubbler pipe is a compact, handheld water pipe that cools smoke through a small water chamber, giving you smoother hits than a dry pipe without the bulk of a bong. You want smooth hits without the bulk, and bubblers pack water filtration into a design you can carry. Our collection includes glass, hammer, Sherlock, sidecar, upright and mini bubblers, with options for 10mm, 14mm and 18mm bowls.

How Does a Bubbler Work?

A bubbler combines the portability of a hand pipe with the water filtration of a bong. It has a bowl, a water chamber and a mouthpiece. Smoke passes through the water before you inhale, which cools it for a smoother draw.

If you're unsure which setup suits you better, compare a bubbler vs. bong to understand the key differences. 

What Types of Bubblers Are There?

From classic glass designs to compact, travel-friendly options, Smoke Cartel carries bubbler styles to suit different preferences for shape, grip, filtration and portability.

• Glass bubblers: Classic glass designs with a built-in water chamber for everyday use and flavor.
• Hammer bubblers: Horizontal bodies with the bowl positioned on top for a balanced, comfortable grip.
• Sherlock bubblers: Curved, pipe-style designs with an elongated neck and classic styling.
• Sidecar bubblers: Feature an offset mouthpiece for a different draw angle and comfortable handling.
• Upright bubblers: Vertical designs that offer a stable base, with some featuring percolators for added filtration.
• Mini bubblers: Compact designs that are easy to store and carry.
• Silicone bubblers: Flexible, impact-resistant options suited to travel and everyday handling.

What size bubbler should you buy? 

If you want something easy to carry, go for a mini bubbler. Medium and larger bubblers give you more room for water, but they take up more space and need a little more cleaning. Think about where you’ll use it and how much room you have to store it.

How to Use a Bubbler?

Fill with enough water to cover the percolator, getting the right water level and airflow helps you use your bubbler comfortably and keep it functioning properly. 

1. Fill with water until the perc or downstem slits are covered.
2. Pack your herb loosely in the bowl.
3. Cover the carb, light, and inhale slowly.
4. Release the carb to clear the chamber.
5. Change the water after each use, and deep-clean weekly.
