Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bubbler pipe?
A bubbler is a type of water pipe that is a smaller, portable version of a bong. Bubblers are hand pipes that feature a chamber with a percolator or diffuser. When dry herbs are packed and ignited, the smoke flows down the stem and through the water, where is is filtered and cooled. This offers a much smoother and cooler than than traditional dry hand pipes. Bubblers are not as big or offer as intense filtration as a bong but are much smaller and far more portable.
How do I choose the right bubbler for me?
Choosing the right bubbler is a matter of preference, but we are here to help you make the right decision. Most people consider the size of their bubbler first and foremost. While usually compact, bubblers do come in a range of sizes. Another consideration is whether you want a bubbler with a joint, which accommodates a dry herb bowl or a dab nail like a quartz banger, or has a built in bowl - just for dry herbs. Bubblers also come in a variety of styles, such as a hammer bubbler, sidecar, or standing bubbler. No matter what your preference, we have the right bubbler pipes for you here at Smoke Cartel.
How do I use a bubbler?
A bubbler is a simple water pipe that can be packed with dry herb or loose leaf herb. Fill the bubbler with some water and find the right water level. Then, simply pack the bowl with your herb or smoking material, and then ignite and inhale. Smoke will be drawn through the water, where it will percolate and diffuse - cooling the smoke and making it less harsh for consumption.
Bubbler vs bong - what’s the difference?
Bubblers are compact, handheld, and discreet, while bongs are larger with more filtration and smoother, bigger hits.
How much water should I put in a bong?
Fill just enough to cover the downstem slit. Too much causes splashback, too little reduces filtration.
