![]() Both are great for diffusion but you can freeze glycerin coils for an unbelievably icy fresh hit.Įxample: Nucleus 16” Coil Perc Beaker with Removable Downstem This leaves space at the center for a downstem to pass through the filter, making it an ideal design for small water pipes like bubblers and dab rigs.Įxample: Barrel Perc to Triple Ratchet Perc Klein Incyclerīy far the most intricate of percolators, the coil perc can be one of two things an actual glass coil with two openings at the bottom or a glycerin coil. Ratchet percs are similar to honeycomb percs but have holes only around the perimeter of the disc instead of across the whole thing. ![]() They’re so compact and effective that nowadays plenty of bongs feature multiple levels of honeycomb percs.Įxample: Double Honeycomb Perc Water Pipe These percs have a series of small holes reminiscent more of a cheese grater than a honeycomb and sit parallel to the base, shooting the bubbles straight up and into whatever sits on top of it. Honeycomb percs, a type of disc perc, are completely flat and connect one chamber to another like one plate stacked on top of the other. This hybrid design works to push smoke through a bunch of tiny holes while also reducing drag. Showerhead percs are the ultimate combination: a turbine perc-like disc with barrel perc-like holes. While usually upright, the barrels are occasionally turned sideways in rigs and bongs that connect the perc directly to the downstem. They allow for greater diffusion and have more holes than a typical perc. They can often be found at the end of a downstem and come in different styles such as domed, connected to a j hook, or stacked on top of one another.Įxample: Empire Glassworks Galaxy Escort UV Reactive Bongīarrel percs have a straight cylindrical design with gridded notches that make them look like a barrel. The tiny holes can get clogged and might be hard for beginners to pull through but the amount of filtration is worth it.Įxample: Ronin Glass “Kawa” Long Neck Double Disc Mini BongĬirc percs are very similar to disc percs but usually have slits only around the outside. Known for its power, disc percs (especially fritted ones) create a ton of bubbles, each diffusing your smoke. Angled slits sit around the main chamber and create a whirlpool with the water that extends into the next chamber, cooling the smoke and diffusing it while showing off your glass.Įxample: Large Tornado Cyclone Water Pipe If you’re looking for something with an aesthetic impact to go along with its filtration capabilities, turbine percs are a great start. Pillar percs fit under this category as well.Įxample: 16” Tree Perc Straight Tube w/ Removable Downstem Naturally, the more arms, the more smoke is filtered. Tree percolators multiply that concept, grouping a number of thin vertical tubes or “arms” with filtering slits together. They can either be fixed or removable.Įxample: Nucleus “Basics” 8” Clear Glass Beaker Bong It’s not a complicated design but it does the basic job of cooling the smoke. To get a better idea of what you’re walking into, take a look at our guide to the different kinds of percolators.įirst up is the simplest type of percolator, a vertical downstem with slits at its base that sit under the water and allow the smoke to flow through it. They all break down the smoke (or vapor) and filter it through bubbling water in order to give the smoke a cooler, more smooth taste. Percolators aren’t complicated when it comes down to function. Everyone’s favorite glass filter piece that sounds like a bad ‘80s dance. There are plenty of perks to smoking a bong over a dry pipe, but you might be surprised to find that there are also many percs, too.
