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.

Percolator bongs use an extra glass chamber to diffuse and cool smoke through water, giving you a smoother, cleaner, and less harsh hit every time. For many medical cannabis users, percolator bongs are among the best options because their advanced filtration makes inhalation gentler on the throat and lungs, which can be especially important for patients who need smoother, less irritating hits.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Percolator Bongs?

Percolator Bongs or Percs are predominantly glass smoking devices that incorporate special design features to improve diffusion of smoke and improve the overall quality of the smoke you inhale. Essentially, these bongs use high quality design and manufacture to enhance the filtration and cooling of your smoke.

How do Percolator Bongs work?

Scientifically speaking, percolation refers to the process of filtering fluids through a porous surface and comes from the Latin term for filtration or “to trickle through”. This process of filtration takes place within the percolator of the bong.

Percolators inside bongs are systems designed with small holes inside. These holes allow smoke to pass through gradually. In a regular bong, smoke will interact with the water in the chamber and pass directly into your lungs. However, a percolator bong provides secondary filtration and cooling as the smoke has to pass through the holes of the percolator and diffuse across the percolator surface.

Are Percolator Bongs better than normal bongs?

This really depends on personal preference but, on the whole, percolators provide better filtration and a smoother smoking experience.

Percolators are more sophisticated in ensign than standard bongs as they incorporate more elements for cooling and filtering smoke. For this reason, you could conclude that they are better than your average smoking device. One drawback of more working parts within the system is that percolator bongs can be trickier to clean and maintain than regular bongs.

Then there’s the cosmetic effect - percs often look more impressive than regular bongs due to the various tubes, pipes and filtration systems within their design, so they’ll really stand out and have a decorative function within your home.

Do Percolator Bongs get you higher?

It’s a common misconception that you will become more high from smoking through a percolator. Generally, you’ll feel the same level of high with a percolator as you would from smoking a regular bong. In fact, percolators may have a lesser effect than that of a regular bong as a marginal amount of THC may get lost through secondary filtration.

The main difference between a regular bong and a percolator bong isn’t necessarily the effect, but the experience. A percolator provides an unrivalled smoking experience and the smoke you inhale is smooth and cool when compared to the sometimes harsh hits associated with an ordinary bong.

What is the best Percolator Bong?

Again, this is a question that depends on personal preference and each individual smoker will have a preference when it comes to different percolator bongs. You may have to experiment with a variety of percs to find your favourite one, but generally speaking, the best percolator bongs are manufactured with the finest quality materials.

We recommend choosing a bong with borosilicate glass, a stable base, optimal downstem length, an ergonomic design and a comfortable mouthpiece. One of our favourite bongs is the Blaze Glass Tower Ice Bong as its design features all of the above.

How do you clean a Percolator Bong?

Looking after your bong is crucial to enjoying consistently smooth hits and an unclean bong can result in a nasty taste and unpleasant smoking experience. We recommend that you maintain your percolator bong regularly to avoid any nasty surprises.

Cleaning a percolator bong is very similar to cleaning a regular bong. The only difference is that you have to take extra care when cleaning the percolator, or multiple percolators if you opt for a more sophisticated design.

One of the best solutions for cleaning your percolator bong is isopropyl alcohol. It can be used to soak your bong and will remove any unwanted leftover residue. One you’re satisfied that the alcohol has done its job, give your bong a rinse with fresh water and let it drain and dry before using it again. Avoid using hot water as this can damage your bong in the long term. Check out our bong cleaning products here.

Is my perc bong shipped discreetly?

Your privacy is important to us. We guarantee to keep your information safe and secure. All shipments are anonymous.

Can I return my order?

If you are not satisfied with the percolator bong, return it within 4 business days after receiving the order. Only unused products can be returned.

What are the main benefits of using a percolator bong?

You get superior filtration, cooler smoke, reduced harshness, and a cleaner flavor compared to standard bongs.

Which percolator designs offer the smoothest smoke?

Designs like tree, honeycomb, and showerhead percs create more bubbles, increasing surface area and enhancing cooling and smoothness.

Does a percolator bong preserve flavor better?

Yes. It filters out harsh particles while maintaining the natural flavor-especially if cleaned regularly.
