Bubblers

A bubbler is a hand-size pipe with a small water chamber. It gives you the smooth, filtered draw of a water pipe in a piece you can hold in one hand. This collection covers every glass bubbler we carry, in hammer and upright shapes. It is for anyone who finds a dry pipe too harsh and a full water pipe too large. Every piece is 100% Authentic from top brand names, and orders over $49.99 ship free in the USA.

Bubblers at Superstrain

A glass bubbler works like a small water pipe. Smoke travels from the bowl down a stem, through a little water and up to the mouthpiece. Most have a fixed bowl and a carb hole on the side, so there are no loose parts to lose. Our range runs from compact 4 inch pieces to taller upright designs with built-in percolators.

Styles and Glass We Carry

The bubblers in this collection come from GV Glass Distro, our everyday glass supplier, in a wide mix of colors and techniques. You will find fumed glass that shifts color with use, frit and striped work, and clear scientific designs. Because many are hand blown, colors and details vary a little from piece to piece.

Bong vs Bubbler

A water pipe holds more water and has a longer path, so it cools smoke the most. It also takes up more space and needs a table. A bubbler holds less water, so the draw is a little warmer, but it is portable, quick to fill and easy to pass. If you mostly use a pipe at home and want the smoothest draw, choose a water pipe. If you want filtration you can carry, choose a bubbler.

How to Choose a Bubbler

Look at the shape first. A hammer bubbler sits flat and is stable on a table. Upright bubblers hold more water and stand on their own base. Check the bowl size, the glass thickness and how easy the chamber is to rinse, since small openings take more effort to clean.

Bubbler FAQ

What is a bubbler?

A bubbler is a small pipe with a water chamber. It filters and cools smoke like a water pipe but is sized like a hand pipe.

How much water goes in a bubbler?

Add just enough to cover the bottom of the stem by about half an inch. Too much water will splash into the mouthpiece.

Is a bubbler better than a bong?

Neither is better for everyone. A bong is smoother, and a bubbler is smaller and easier to carry.

How do I clean a glass bubbler?

Empty the water after each use. Soak the piece in isopropyl alcohol with coarse salt, shake gently and rinse with warm water.
