Percolators are a popular feature of bongs, dab rigs and bubblers. Many pipe models come with built-in strikers and are also available as accessories, which you can add to your glass pipe. The main function of a percolator is to filter and cool the smoke as it travels through the bong and water chamber.
The result of the filtration and cooling process is a more pleasant and healthier smoking experience than the regular dry pipe. So, what does the coffee maker do? The function of percolator bongs is to remove harmful toxins and create a smooth smoking experience.
What are the different types of percolator bongs you can find on the market? In this post we will look at the ten options available to you. Let’s get straight to the point!
1 Low spreading stem
Diffuse downstems are small glass tubes with slots that sit at the bottom of the water. When the smoke passes through it, it creates a bubble. Diffused downstems are considered the most basic of all percolator bongs. However, it is very effective at creating bubbles and cooling the smoke. It comes as an accessory and you can easily add it to your bong.
2. Bong with honeycomb percolator
A honeycomb percolator bong is a flat, round disc with several small holes. They can be stacked in twos to create more chambers. These impactors are positioned parallel to the bottom of the bong and create bubbles in the water chambers. The honeycomb percolator offers exceptional filtration and cooling, especially when available in multiple tiers.
3. Bong with inline percolator
Inline percolators are horizontal tubes with numerous slots. They give off gorgeous, perfectly diffused hits at any time of the day. The number of slots in your coffee maker will determine the diffusion it creates as bubbles, air and smoke move through the slots.
4. Shower head coffee maker
This type of percolator uses a tube that connects to the main chamber. The percolator bong with shower head draws the smoke through a larger tube. It then pushes the smoke out and down through a rounded bottom that has slots or holes.
The openings are available in different sizes and help maximize diffusion. The more smoke diffusion you get from the different sized bubbles coming from the cracks, the bigger hit you get.
5.Tree percolator
Named after its design, a tree percolator bong resembles a tree. Comes with multiple tube arms with lots of small slots. Their arms branch out to make the device look like a tree. Tree percolator bongs connect at the top of a bong fixture.
Additionally, air flows through and into the center tube before descending onto each arm. This process creates many small bubbles for better filtration and cooling. It’s worth mentioning that tree perch is quite delicate, and if you’re not careful, you can break it easily.
6. Matrix percolator
Matrix drums provide many hits. A pair has a cylindrical shape and occupies the center of the base of a bong. It features horizontal and vertical slots that ensure high-level diffusion. This way the smoke circulates in different directions, making separation easier.
