Percolator Bongs
What is percolator bong
A percolator bong, also known as a perc bong, is a type of water pipe that uses one or more percolators to filter and cool the smoke. The percolators contain small holes or slits that break up the smoke into smaller bubbles, increasing the surface area for water filtration.
How does percolator bong work
When the sub-chambers in the bong filled with water,the pressure differential between the top and bottom outlets causes the smoke to move through the water.The percs diffuse your smoke into tinier bubbles.These bubbles greatly increase the surface area over which smoke travels through the water,giving it more time to cool and filter out impurities.
Advantages of percolator bong
• The percolator provides an additional filtration layer for your smoking device, resulting in smoother hits and better taste.
• Compared to a regular water pipe, a percolator forces smoke through water, forming tiny bubbles which offer enhanced cooling and superior filtration, providing better protection for your lungs.
• Protects terpenes from high temperatures, ensuring optimal flavor.
• The percolator assists in better removal of toxic chemicals from the smoke. When using a percolator, smoke is forced to pass through water acting as a barrier. As the smoke bubbles through the water, many solid particles are captured and retained within the liquid.
Different types of Percolator
The percolator, as the most essential and functional part of a bong, provides superior smoke quality. Understanding different types of percolators helps you make a better choice for your unique bong.
This is a tube that sits in the primary water chamber, working to let air enter the chamber for better airflow. These are easy to upgrade and clean with three holes to disperse your smoke.
Tree percolators are fairly simple. Within the bong's tube, there's a collection of rods that resemble tree limbs. With a few slits per “limb," there will be plenty of diffusion.
These percs use multiple small holes or slits to create a matrix-like structure that breaks up smoke into smaller bubbles and increases water surface area for improved filtration and cooling. They provide great smoothness and drag.
Slitted inline percs are simple, common percolators found in all but the most basic bongs. Bongs with additional, more complicated percolation systems often start with a diffused downstem. This type of percolator sits horizontally within the bong, and often sit in place of a downstem. Inline percs come in a variety of different styles. Some are compact so they fit within the existing, thin tube of your bong, some percolator bongs with an inline design are deliberately wider to accommodate the blogger inline percolator.
Showerhead Percolator
These percs have a mushroom-shaped head with multiple slits around the base. Smoke passes through the slits and diffuses through the water, providing smoother hits with medium smoothness and high drag.
Swiss percolator
The Swiss percolator is named for its resemblance to Swiss cheese and features large holes that allow smoke and water to filter out harsh flavors. The Swiss percolator is typically used in combination with other percolators to achieve a satisfying smoking experience.
Downstem percolator
The downstem percolator is the simplest type of percolator, consisting of a glass tube extending downwards into the main chamber of the bong to filter the smoke before it enters the lungs. They come in various shapes, sizes, and designs, all tailored to enhance your smoking experience.
No matter the type of percolator, a bong equipped with a percolator provides the highest quality and delivers a premium smoking experience.

Different Types of Percolator Bongs:
Percolators are a major innovation in bong functionality, widely used in the design of bongs and pipes to provide smoother smoke hits. Here are the different types of percolator bongs and percolator pipes we offer:
• Beaker Bong with Percolator: The beaker bong with a percolator is one of the most popular bong designs. It combines the strong water filtration and cooling properties of the beaker bong with the added benefit of a percolator, which further breaks down the smoke for cooler, smoother, and larger hits with reduced irritation.
• Straight Tube Bong with Percolator: Straight tube bongs have a simple and direct design, allowing smoke to pass quickly through the tube for a fast, efficient hit. Adding a percolator to a straight tube bong enhances smoke filtration, providing a clean, straightforward smoking experience with minimal residual smoke in the tube.
Dab Rig with Percolator: For dab rigs, adding a percolator makes the dabbing experience smoother and more refined, enhancing flavor quality. In dual or multi-chamber setups, the percolator helps circulate and purify the smoke even further, creating the coolest and cleanest hits possible.
• Nectar Collector with Percolator: A nectar collector with a percolator is a portable dabbing device specially designed for vaporizing concentrates. It features an internal percolator that boosts filtration and cooling, delivering smoother hits. As vapor passes through water, small bubbles form, cooling and filtering it before inhalation. Common percolators for nectar collectors include honeycomb or inline percs, maximizing cooling in compact spaces.
• Bubbler Pipe with Percolator: A bubbler pipe with a percolator is a compact smoking device that combines the portability of a pipe with the smooth filtration of a bong. The percolator breaks down smoke into smaller bubbles when passing through water, maximizing interaction with water to create a smoother, cooler hit than a standard pipe. For users who value portability and ease of use, a bubbler pipe with a percolator is an excellent choice.
• Silicone Bong with Percolator: A silicone bong with a percolator is an extremely durable and flexible water pipe. Adding a percolator to a silicone bong allows for more effective smoke filtration, providing a smoother smoking experience. These bongs often come with detachable percolators or glass inserts, making them easy to clean and customize. For those prioritizing durability, portability, and an affordable way to enjoy smoother, cooler hits while minimizing maintenance and breakage risks, a silicone bong with a percolator is a practical choice.
Cleaning and maintaining percolator bong
Cleaning and maintaining a percolator bong is essential for optimal performance and longevity.Compared to other smoking devices, percolator bongs may require more time and effort for cleaning and maintenance. Here are some tips to follow after each use of a percolator bong:
• Regular Cleaning with Coarse Salt and Isopropyl Alcohol:
Periodically clean your percolator bong with coarse salt and isopropyl alcohol. Use pipe cleaners or small brushes for intricate parts.
• Change Water After Each Use:
Replace the water in your percolator bong after each use to prevent residue buildup and maintain freshness.
