Dig into the details of what makes percolator bongs unique and how they offer a smooth smoking experience.
What are Percolator Bongs?
Percolator bongs are smoking devices that feature an additional water filtration system. With the addition of percolators and other intricate parts, this type of bong can provide a better experience than regular bongs. Through their unique design and enhanced filtration process, they offer users a cooler, smoother smoke.
How do Percolator Bongs Work?
Percolator bongs work by cooling the smoke through the diffusion process. The smoke is forced through small slits in a glass disc called a “percolator”. The small holes in the percolator create tiny bubbles that further cool the smoke before it reaches your lungs. This filtration process makes for a much smoother tasting draw compared to regular water bongs, even when using quality herb or concentrates.
What Makes Percolator Bongs Unique?
The main difference between regular and percolator bongs lies in their structure and function. Regular bongs usually don’t feature any extra parts or filtration whereas percolators come with intricate tubes or discs filled with air pockets where air must escape before moving further down the tube. This allows for more efficient cooling and creates smaller particles which give you an even smoother hit again due to increased cooling capacity from each breath taken from the pipe stem. Additionally, many models now include ice catchers at the end of their pipes which can also help to cool down hotter smoke as it travels up towards your face when inhaling—making them an extremely popular option among smokers looking for smoothness in every hit!
Types of Percolator Bongs
There are several different types of percolator bongs available on the market today. Some feature intricate designs with a wide range of features while others may be simpler in design and function.
Straight Tube Percolator Bong
The most basic type of percolator bong is the straight tube. This design consists of a single chamber filled with water, and no extra filtration mechanisms are employed to cool or filter the smoke before it is inhaled.
Tree Perc Bong
The tree perc bong uses multiple vertical pipes connected to a single base, resembling a “tree” or “branch” structure. This increases the surface area within the chamber where smoke can be cooled, allowing for smoother hits due to efficient filtration and cooling before inhalation.
Tree-perc designs may also come in multiple tiers, where each tier adds another layer of filtration by having another set of vertical pipes that further increase air resistance as well as increase diffusion for cooler hits.
In-Stem Percs
In-stem percs generally contain one or more chambers located inside their stem along with lots of tiny slits that act as filters for even better cooling effects than regular tree percs have to offer. These little chambers generate what’s known as bubblers – small air bubbles that act like mini water pipes inside your normal sized water pipe –which further cool your smoke before inhalation ensuring smoother rips each time you use it!
Fractal Diffusers
Lastly, fractal diffusers create unique ventilation systems within your smoking device caused by deep spiraling tunnels created by cylindrical metal disks strung together with plastic chains. The combination of depth, friction and air resistance allow these chambers to provide insanely smooth vapor production that any smoker can appreciate!
Conclusion
Percolator bongs are actually quite unique because they use several different filtration systems to give you the smoothest possible smoking experience. By forcing smoke through multiple sections over extended distances these devices provide noticeably cooler draws while giving off a cleaner taste than traditional methods such as glass on glass pipes or bubblers- some even come with ice catchers so you can fill them with cold water too! All in all, percs make sure that whatever size bowl you’re packing will be smooth sailing from start finish- ensuring user satisfaction no matter what type of sesh you have planned!
