Depending on the type of bong you have, there will typically be a built-in percolator. Smoke will travel from the downstem and into your percolator. Not all bongs have a percolator but almost all bongs will have a downstem. Even our least expensive glass bongs are made with high-quality material, so they’re built to last.
You can customize your piece to your liking and add as many percolators as your bong allows. An ash catcher will function as an extra filtration system to catch any ash or small weed particles that may have made its way through your water pipe upon inhaling. It can also serve as an additional water filtration to ensure you have the best hits. It all depends on how intricate you want to get and how smooth and clean of an inhale you are looking for. Keep in mind, though, too many percolators added will actually increase your chances of stale smoke. All of our glass water pipes, bongs, dab rigs, and other pieces are carefully handcrafted to give you amazing hits and last you for a long time.
Popular joint sizes include 10mm, 14mm, and 18mm, and all are in both male and female varieties. You want to insert the downstem into the bong joint and the bowl into the downstem joint. If you have to place your herb bowl or another accessory into your bong joint or Dab Rigs downstem, you have a female bong joint. If you have to slide your bowl or accessory onto the bong joint or downstem, you have a male bong. If you own a female bong, it’s important to buy male accessories that will insert into your bong’s female joint or downstem.
The ice pincher allows for ice to be added 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. Without one, smoke will be harsh and may even cause irritation in your lungs.

Unlike some cheap bongs for sale online, we only offer premium quality bongs made from the highest grade borosilicate glass. Weed is placed in a bowl and upon ignition travels through a downstem and into the bong’s base. When smoke particles attach to water molecules many harmful particles are removed, in addition to the smoke becoming naturally cooler.
Using glass bongs provide the most tasteful, smoothest, and healthiest way to smoke herb. Glass bongs deliver more water filtration than bubblers or dab rigs and certainly more than pipes or blunts. Silicone bongs leave a plastic aftertaste and use minimal percolators and water filtration. Borosilicate glass (which is what Freeze Pipe’s bongs are made from) was designed and is used for testing elements in laboratories. Yes, it’s still glass, but it’s impressively durable and will last for years.
