Basically, Glass bubblers are portable water pipes in one piece. They produce a much smoother smoke, and there are many different models.
Smoking marijuana can be an incredibly diverse experience, especially considering a large number of smoking accessories available, and the wide variety of methods to smoke them. Bundling a joint or filling the bowl of a bong with dried flowers are very common practices; However, there are somewhat more exotic alternatives when consuming our favorite herb.
What are The Glass Bubblers?
Glass Bubblers are one of these different and interesting methods for smoking cannabis. A glass bubbler, also called bubbler or bubbling pipe, is a type of water pipe and is, therefore, part of the category of the bong, a tool already well known and widespread. But glass bubblers have many differences and offer certain unique advantages, which do not occur when smoking in a bong.
Similar to the typical bongs, the bubblers have a nozzle, a bowl or pipe, a stem and a chamber with water, through which the smoke will have to pass. When crossing the water, the smoke cools, and thus the puffs are softer and more pleasant. Some glass bubblers also include a percolator, an additional water chamber that contributes to greater cooling. Certain models also have a carburetor, which allows cleaner and faster smoke output.
In a way, a bubbler could be considered a hybrid between a pipe and a bong. They tend to be smaller, but they have a function very similar to the bongs and a similar way to pipes.
So, knowing exactly what they are, why choose a bubbler as a method of marijuana use? What do bubblers have that do not have bongs or pipes? Let's dive into the advantages and disadvantages of using a bubbler as the main method for smoking cannabis.
Why Use a Bubbler?
One of the reasons for using a bubbler is because it covers what would be the intermediate zone between the pipes and the bongs. These utensils are transportable and can be carried practically anywhere in a discreet way, without causing a stir. But you have to handle them with care, especially the delicate glass models.
The pipes are very easy to transport and are somewhat more resistant, but they do not offer the soft and filtered puffs of silky smoke, which has been processed in the smoke chamber and the percolator. In this sense, glass bubblers can be considered as portable bongs.
Another reason to choose a bubbler is its decorative aspect, a factor that also applies to bongs. Bubblers are an effective way to burn some grass and put on, but also some models are a gift for the eyes. A beautifully decorated bong, bubbler or pipe is one of the best contributions to a good smoking session, which will serve as the centerpiece of the session, magnificent and attractive.
Types Of Bubblers
There are several types of bubblers, which have slight differences between them. For example, hammer bubblers have a camera with a flat base, which allows them to be placed stably on a surface, like many bongs.
Hanging glass bubblers (pendant bubblers) are one of the most creative designs. They can be tied with a piece of rope to wear hanging around the neck, serving both as a necklace and as a smoking implement. This type of bubbler is ideal to take to music festivals or to go camping.
The double bubblers offer super soft puffs. They have two chambers, each of which has its own percolator. The smoke sucked from these devices is fresh and smooth as silk. The Sherlock mini bubbler is very similar to Sherlock pipe and has the same characteristic shape.
