The Best Bubblers in 2023
In the smoking world, bubblers offer the best of both worlds - the portability of a hand pipe and the excellent water filtration of a bong. In this guide, we'll explore the top bubblers for 2023 and how their innovative designs enhance your smoking experience by providing convenience and quality hits.
What is a Bubbler?
A bubbler is a unique fusion in the world of smoking accessories. It's a hand pipe at its core but boasts a water chamber, so each hit is water-filtered for a smoother experience.
While borosilicate glass reigns supreme as the preferred material, offering both durability and an eye-catching aesthetic, bubblers also come in materials like silicone. This versatility ensures that every stoner finds a piece that resonates with their style and functionality needs.
Types of Bubblers
Hammer Bubblers
A favorite among many, the hammer bubbler boasts a signature hammer shape. Its water chamber serves as a sturdy base so you can sit it upright.
Beyond its iconic design, many hammer bubblers come equipped with internal percolators, enhancing the smoking experience with smooth hits and added functionality. This fusion of style and features makes it a top bubbler water pipe.
Sherlock Bubblers
These bubblers have a distinctive "S" shape inspired by Sherlock Holmes' pipe. They are widely available in headshops, and their unique design offers excellent portability.
However, their intricate curves can make cleaning a bit challenging, so knowing how to clean them is essential.
Double Bubblers
Double bubblers will elevate your smoking experience with two water chambers and percolators, doubling the filtration for smoother hits. While their unique design is eye-catching and offers unparalleled functionality, they can be unstable and prone to tipping.
Though harder to find and a bit challenging to clean, these bubblers are a high-end novelty item for enthusiasts seeking that extra touch of refinement in their smoking sessions.
Recycler Bubblers
Recycler bubblers have a specialized recycler chamber that cycles smoke continuously for ultra-cool, highly-filtered rips. They are ideal for dry herbs and concentrates, and their intricate designs are a visual treat.
However, this complexity can make them less stable and challenging to maintain. Recycler bubblers are for you if you want a smooth hit and a unique design.
Silicone Bubblers
Silicone bubblers have carved a niche in the smoking realm, especially for those on the move. Unlike their glass counterparts, these bubblers boast a resilience that makes them virtually unbreakable. Glass pieces remain popular for their clear, eye-catching aesthetics. However, silicone offers a practical alternative for stoners seeking durability without compromising quality.
