What is a Percolator Bong?

Have you ever heard the term 'percolator' and wondered what it actually does? A percolator bong is a type of water pipe that uses advanced filtration to give you cooler, smoother hits. The percolator itself is a small but complex chamber or device inside the bong that functions as a smoke diffuser. It works by forcing the smoke to pass through tiny holes or slits, breaking it down into smaller bubbles. This increases the surface area of the smoke that comes in contact with water making it cooler and filtering out impurities, making each hit less harsh and more flavoursome

"Think of a percolator as a mini water filtration system—like a coffee filter for smoke, making each rip tastier, smoother, and cooler," says Jimmy G, bong expert at A Bong Shop.

Types of Percolators

Which Percolator Type is Right for You?

There are several different types of percolators, each offering a unique experience. Here are the most common types and why they might be the right choice for you:

• Honeycomb Percolator: Smooth and Sturdy - Honeycomb percolators are perfect for those who love extra diffusion. With multiple small holes, the honeycomb design breaks up smoke into tiny bubbles, making each hit smoother.

• Tree Percolator: Classic and Dependable - Looking for tradition and effectiveness? Tree percolators are a solid choice. They have several arms that diffuse smoke, providing reliable performance.

• Showerhead Percolator: For the Clean Hit Lovers - Showerhead percolators deliver maximum smoke diffusion, ideal for those who appreciate cooler, smoother hits. With a unique design that looks like a showerhead, these percolators effectively filter smoke without any fuss.

• Inline Percolator: Perfect for Efficiency - Inline percolators are horizontal and provide consistent filtration while minimizing drag. They are great for those who prefer efficient hits without too much resistance.

• Turbine Percolator: Visual Appeal Meets Functionality - Turbine percolators create a whirlpool effect as you inhale, which not only looks awesome but also cools the smoke effectively. If you enjoy visual elements, this might be the one for you.

“Tree percolators are my go-to because they offer consistent performance every time,” says Jimmy G, bong enthusiast and expert at A Bong Shop. Depending on your preferences, you can choose the type that gives you the best balance between style, ease of cleaning, and smoothness.

How Does a Percolator Improve Your Experience?

Ever wonder why some bong hits go down smoother than others? The magic lies in the percolator. Percolators improve your smoking experience by cooling down the smoke and filtering out impurities. When the smoke passes through the water and percolator, it breaks into smaller particles, increasing the surface area that comes in contact with water. This additional filtration leads to a cooler, smoother hit that’s less harsh on your throat and lungs.

“A percolator is like adding an extra layer of refinement to your bong hit,” says [Expert Name] from A Bong Shop. “It makes each hit smoother, giving you an elevated experience every time.”

Choosing the Right Percolator Bong

How to Find the Perfect Percolator Bong for Your Needs

Confused about which percolator is right for you? Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you choose the perfect percolator bong:

1. Consider Ease of Cleaning: Some percolators, like tree percs, can be harder to clean than others like inline or honeycomb. If maintenance is a concern, opt for something easier to clean.

2. Determine the Level of Filtration You Want: If you love a super smooth hit, go for multi-layered percolators like honeycomb or turbine. For simpler filtration, a single showerhead or tree perc might do the trick.

3. Size and Style Matter: Inline and turbine percolators offer visual appeal while also being functional. Mini percolator bongs are great for portability, while larger ones provide more room for the smoke to filter and cool.

4. Match to Your Budget: Percolator bongs come in a wide range of prices. Decide how much you want to spend and find a model that provides the best features for your budget.

Expert Tips on Using and Maintaining Percolator Bongs

Here are some tips straight from our experts to make sure you get the best out of your percolator bong:

• Filling the Water Just Right: Fill your bong with enough water to cover the percolator completely, but avoid overfilling. This ensures effective filtration without making it hard to inhale.

• Regular Cleaning is Key: Residue can build up in percolators, making them less effective. We here at A Bong Shop recommend cleaning your percolator bong 4-5 days but change the water daily or after a heavy sesh! To keep the percolators working perfectly.”

• Use the Right Tools: Use Bong cleaner and pipe cleaners to get into those hard to reach areas, especially if you have a more complex percolator.
