Bong bowls are used for glass pipes and quartz bangers are used for a oil rig. All types of pipes can experience bacteria growth although old dirty pipes are more at risk. Biofilm forms when biomass such as bacteria, fungi, algae and mold adhere to surfaces in wet environments. These may sometimes release into the tap water stream whereof most will be neutralised by thechlorine. Despite this, some bacteria will be found in all tap water even if it’s chlorinated. Fortunately this is very unlikely to pose any health risks based on 100 years of tap water research and studies.

The more bubbles that are created by the downstem, the more surface area the vapor has to cool before it enters the tube for inhalation. If your downstem is non-removable, your water pipe will probably include a type of percolator. There are many percolators on the market, such as showerhead percolators or honeycomb percolators, and you may need to experiment to find the one you like the best.
