The water pipe itself, a single-piece construct consisting of the bowl-stem, the water container, and a drawtube at least 3 inches, but some can be up to 12 inches in length. The size of the bowl is similar to that of a one-hitter, typically the width of a thumbnail or smaller. In construction and function, a bong is similar to a hookah, except smaller and especially more portable. A bong may be constructed from any air- and water-tight vessel by adding a bowl and stem apparatus which guides air downward to below water level whence it bubbles upward (“bubbler”) during use. On bongs without such a hole, the bowl and/or the stem are removed to allow air from the hole that holds the stem.

It’s important to know what size your bong is when buying parts like glass bowls or accessories like ash-catchers. An essential feature to check for is what type of joint is on the downstem of your pipe. Most beakers have 45º fittings, many straight tubes, and inline perc pieces with a 90º joint angle. Beaker-base water pipes are popular because of the stability their wide base offers. This 18″ beaker has a super thick neck that can stand up to accidental bumps and spills. This long-neck water pipe would make a great addition to any collection.
The ice pincher is the last travel point for the cannabis smoke to travel through before reaching the mouthpiece. The ice pincher allows for ice to be added water pipes and held right above the water chamber. This serves as an extra cooling agent to allow your smoke to hit the ice and cool down before entering your lungs.

But, ultimately, what sets a water bubbler pipe apart from other types of water pipes is the fact that it’s small, easily transportable and simple to use. The first thing you should know is the type of joint and downstem that’s part of your water pipe bong. Male water pipes require the bowl to be placed onto the joint, whereas the bowl is placed into the joint for female water bongs. Depending on which bong gender you have, you will need to purchase accessories of the gender that is opposite of your water pipe. For example, our 15″ Single Honeycomb to Spinning Guard water pipe will only be compatible with male accessories.
Before you look at water pipes for sale, it’s important that you understand the difference between male and female water bongs. They are very distinct from one another, and learning this will save you the headache of accidentally ordering the wrong bong or accessory. There isn’t a standard amount of water to fill your bong. In most cases, the bong should be filled about half an inch above the bottom part of the downstem so that it’s submerged in water.
This way, the water acts as a filter and cooler to the smoke you inhale. Make sure they’re not filled with water for them to be able to bubble.

It’s also a good idea to insulate the cold-water inlet pipes for the first 3 feet.
The tried and true beaker style has a wide base to keep the wide base and less likely to tip over. One of the most notable changes to the water bongs classic design is the addition of percolators. These designs come in many styles, most commonly the honeycomb, showerhead or tree perc designs and can be featured in multiple sections of one piece.
