Best Percolator Bongs 2023

Percolator bongs (aka perc bongs for short) are a game-changers in the world of smoking devices. Unlike standard bongs, which provide light levels of filtration, percolator bongs put a greater emphasis on water filtration to provide a smoother, cooler, and healthier smoking experience by removing harshness, toxins, ash, and tar. Percolators are tiny holes that create surface area for smoke and water to interact. The more surface area (bubbles) the more filtration occurs. Percs come in a variety of types, such as tree percs, honeycomb percs, and inline percs, each offering their unique benefits and aesthetics.

And 99% of bongs stop there. But what separates Freeze Pipe as the smoothest smoking bongs is our ability to cool smoke by over 300 degrees. By using our market-leading glycerin tech + advanced percolators Freeze Pipe is changing the game one toke at a time.

Our Motivation To Build The Best Percolator Bongs

Problem was, these overpriced bongs at local headshops still left us with burnt throats and severe coughing attacks. The goal was alwats to to design the best percolators, but to create a truly remarkable herb smoking experience we needed a game changer. And that game changer was glycerin coils. Freeze Pipe's mission is to deliver exceptional glass percolator bongs at everyday great prices. So give us a try and see why we've doubled in growth every year since we opened in 2018.

What Exactly Do Percolators Do In A Bong?

Percolators in bongs create tiny bubbles that filter and cool the smoke, providing an improved smoke-water interaction without diminishing THC levels. This improved interaction results in a smoother, cooler, and more flavorful smoking experience. Water filtration is the process of forcing smoke and water moleceules to interatct. You ever hit a bong and hear the roar of bubbles? That's percolation, aka water filtration. And the more bubbles the better. Reason being is more tiny bubbles you have the more surface are there is for smoke molecules to become bonded to water molecues. Water is selective on what is filters so don't worry about it reducing THC levels. Studies have shown the amount of THC and terpnes lost via water filtration is nefligble at best. What is important is the real amount or tar, ash and plant matter that's removed by using water filltration and percolators. This purfying action combined with natural smoke cooling makes using a percolator bong a must for any savvy cannabis smoker.

Create Bubbles

That classic bong roar when taking a rip comes from your percolators. Percolators create bubblers which is key for filtration. The more bubbles the better as this creates more suface area for smoke and water molecules to interact. Water is a polar molecule so it attaches and removes other polar molecules found in smoke, leaving THC behind to be inhaled and less of the nasty stuff. .

Identifying The Best Type Of Percolator

Freeze Pipe's team has spent countless hours testing and desgining percolators so you don't have to. Rest asssured if a type of perc is on our glass it's because it performed mightly agaisnt steep competition. Percolators come in different shapes and sizes and are most commonly found in the base of your bong. Water pipes can use more than one percolator and with so many different styles of percs available it can be diffuclt to understand which percolator bong is best for you.

Different Types Of Percolators

There are dozens of types of percolators. With many water pipes double stacking or even triple stacking percs in one piece. The northstar of percoaltors is to create maximum filtration without impeeding air flow. Unforutnelry this can be a tight rope to walk which is why most pieces use one or two percs. All in all, the benefits of using glass bongs with percolators is far greater than not. It can be expensive buying different bongs with various percs just to find the style you like best. Alternativlety, you can read the guide below which covers many popular types.

How To Fill A Bong With A Perc In It:

Filling a percolator bong is just like a traditional piece. Just be careful not to break a perc when moving the piece around. For the best results check out the guide below.

1. Step 1 is to always pour the water down the top of the base, this is easier than filling through the downstem. If your water pipe has a removable glycerin chamber do not pour water down the chamber. Pour directly into the base instead.
2. Then, fill with enough water so the tops of the slits in the percs are slightly submerged. Roughly 1/2" over the top of the perc. Same strtagrey applies to percs in the base or middle percs.
3. Lastly, do a test run before lighting up. Simply remove the bowl and inhale as you normally would. If no bubbles are created, add water. If the air-flow feels too constricted lessen the amount of water. The goal is to create bubbles with little-to-no drag.  

How To Clean A Percolator Bong

Cleaning a percolator bong is no different than cleaning a lesser pipe. We recommend using store bought cleaning solution you can use Isopropyl Alcohol and coarse sea salt. For a complete bong cleaning guide we got you covered. Quick instructions below:

1. Remove any smaller parts like bowls, downstems, joints, middle percs etc.
2. Fill with solution, store bought or Isoproply alcohol and sea salt. If the part can fit in a ziplock bag place it in the bag with the soltuion. For larger pieces like a base, fill the base about 25% with solution.
3. Cover any openings (we make plugs for that) and shake around. Make sure to focus on the visbility dirtier areas of the water pipe.
4. For any pieces in ziplock bags let it marinate for 30 minutes, shake around then rinse thoroughly with warm water.
5. For the larger parts if the shake and rinse process doesn't work, repeat the process but let the solution marinate for 20 mins. A common process is to shake-let sit for 20 mins-shake and then rinse thoroughly.

Does Bong Water Filter Out THC?

No, using a percolator water pipes will not negatively effect your high. While technically yes, some levels of THC are removed as filtration happens, the actual amount of neglibel at best. What's more important is the levels of tar, ash and plant matter that ARE removed when using a percolator bong. Removing a lot of the junk from cannabis smoke makes for smoother and healthier hit. The misconception is that bong hits get you higher than smoking a joint. What's really happening is because the rips from a bong are so much smoother than smoking a joint you're able to take considerbaly bigger hits from a water bong.

Any Draw Backs To Owning A Perc Bong?

The only con to owning perc bongs is two-fold; Cleaning could require a little more time, specifically how much time depends on the type and number of percolators used. Secondly, and this is more theotrical, the more percs you add the larger chance something could break. Percs breaking isn't common however, usually if a glass percoaltor bong breaks it's because it was dropped and a lot more than just the percolator becomes broken.

Percolator bongs provide a smoother and healthier smoking experience with less harshness, toxins, ash, and tar, making for an enjoyable and comfortable smoking session. Bongs with percolators will outperform bongs that don't use them ten out of ten times. If stuck between buying a piece with an ice catcher or buying a percolator, choose the percolator. It's going to reduce the temperature about the same but provide massive advantages from a health and smoothness perspective. Having a glass bong with percolators is the best way to smoke weed. Having a glass bong with percolators and a glycerin coil is sheer domination and a silky smooth experience fit for the gods.

Colder Bong Rips

Water is a natural cooling agent. When hot cannabis smoke mixes with cooler water the temperature is noticably reducded. Cooler smoke goes down much easier and should help you cough less. Make sure to change your bong water after every use. As chemicals become purified via percolation they get left behind in the water. Contuining to smoke using dirty bong water defeats the purpose of using water as a purfying agent.

Healthier Smoking Experience

The more suface area the better, meaning creating tons of bubbles is the name of the percolator game. When smoke molecules attach to water molecules many of the potentially harmful particles (such as tar and ash) are removed. The removed tar is what turns your bong water into that nasty brown color.

Smoother Bong Rips

Between smoke being colder and containing less ash, tar and larger compounds like plant matter, the overall experience is considerably smoother. Unlike smoking concentrates, you can't overdo water filtration when smoking combustable dry herb. The only problem with putting too many percs or using percs that don't mesh well is air-flow can become restricted. It's delicate tight rope but when done correctly nothing beats the smoothness and feel of using a water bong with percolators.
