Percolated Bongs

A percolated bong, also known as a perc bong, is a type of water pipe used for smoking herbs or tobacco. It is characterized by the presence of one or more percolators, which are additional chambers or sectgions that filter and cool the smoke before it is inhaled.

The smoke passes through the water in the base chamber, and then is forced through the percolator(s) before it reaches the user. The percolator(s) creates many smaller bubbles that increases the surface area of the smoke, which cools the smoke and filters out some impurities. The smoke then travels up the stem and into the user's lungs.

There are several types of percolators, such as:

Tree Percolators

Tree percs have several arms branching out from the main chamber

Showerhead Percolators

Showerhead percs have a tube with several small holes at the bottom

Dome Percolators

Dome percs have a dome-shaped chamber with small holes

Honeycomb Percolators

Honeycomb percs have a disk with several small holes

Percolated bongs come in various shapes and sizes, and can be made from glass, acrylic, or other materials. They are considered to be a more efficient and smoother way of smoking, as the percolators help to filter and cool the smoke, reducing the harshness and increasing the filtration of harmful substances.

The only downside is they do require more cleaning, as the can clog up easily, we recommend the use of an ash catcher with percolated bongs.
