Percolator Bongs

What Makes Percolator Bongs Different? 

Percolator bongs use built-in glass components to break smoke into smaller bubbles as it passes through water. This increases contact between the smoke and water, which can help cool the smoke before inhalation.

Different percolator designs offer different airflow and maintenance needs. Honeycomb bongs use perforated discs to create many small bubbles, while matrix percolators use rows of slits for water diffusion. Showerhead and tree percs offer other designs worth comparing.

The right choice depends on your preferred draw resistance, cleaning needs, budget, and bong size.

Types of Percolator Bongs: Showerhead, Honeycomb, Tree & Matrix 

Each percolator design uses a different method to move smoke through water. Understanding these differences can help you choose the right glass bong. 

• Showerhead Percs: These spread smoke evenly for smooth filtration with little drag.
• Tree Percs: Multiple arms create extra bubbling and a softer hit.
• Honeycomb Percs: A disc full of holes that delivers tons of tiny bubbles for a powerful yet smooth rip.
• Inline Percs: A horizontal slit tube that gives solid first-stage cooling, often paired with other percs.
• Matrix Percs: Vertical and horizontal slits combine for intense bubbling and maximum smoothness.

Want to step it up? Check out our double percolator bongs for even more diffusion, or pair your new piece with an ash catcher to keep it cleaner longer.

How to Choose a Percolator Bong

1. Decide how much filtration you want. A single percolator is enough for most smokers; stacking multiple percs cools further but adds more surface area to clean.
2. Pick a perc style. Showerhead, tree, honeycomb, inline, or matrix, each trades off drag, bubbling, and cooling differently, see the breakdown above.
3. Weight drag against smoothness. Honeycomb and matrix percs cool aggressively but can pull harder; showerhead and inline percs are gentler on the draw.
4. Factor in cleaning. More complex percs trap more residue, so budget for regular cleanings, a dedicated bong cleaner makes the multi-chamber designs easier to maintain.
5. Check joint size and accessories. Most percolator bongs use standard 14mm or 18.8mm joints, so confirm compatibility with any ash catcher or bowl you already own.
