The Science Of Smooth: Why Recyclers Kick Ass

rasta bong doctor

Recyclers. Paramount for dab rigs and tons of fun for smoking dry herb. All killer no filler in this blog - we're talking science of water filtration, recyclers, a little about dab rigs vs bongs and the Freeze Pipe difference.

How Recyclers Work


Recyclers consist of a:

  • Main Chamber where the percolator is

  • Uptake Tube(s)

  • Top Chamber

  • Drain Tube


Recyclers put smoke through an endless gauntlet of purification that goes like this:


Percolator -> Uptake Tube -> Top Chamber -> Drain Tube ->  Percolator...And the process starts all over again

Why Most Dab Rigs Are Recyclers

TLDR: Better flavor and efficient filtration


Dab rigs are small because (unlike dry herb) stale air inside the rig lessens the concentrate's flavor. While filtration in dab rigs is a needed god send, too much can decrease flavor and potency. Again, the exact opposite is true when smoking traditional dry herb.


Enter recyclers. Because recyclers provide outstanding filtration you can use them on small rigs and get optimal amounts of filtration.


Recyclers also excel at airflow. Meaning when users inhale a dab there's little time for stale air to interact with dab smoke, thus maximizing flavor.

Science Behind Water Filtration

TLDR:  Removes irritants for less coughing and naturally cools


Diffusion:

As smoke enters the percolator it's fragmented into smaller bubbles through diffusion. More bubbles = more filtration as there is greater surface area for smoke and water to interact.


Hydrogen Bonding & Surface Tension

Water molecules have a strong attraction to one another due to hydrogen bonding. This strong bond is what traps the impurities found in smoke such as tar and ash. Inhaling these irritants is a huge culprit behind coughing.


Cleaner Smoke. Cooler Smoke. Less Coughing

Water filtration not only purifies, but provides natural cooling when hot smoke mixes with cooler water. The result is a cleaner puff with less irritants and heat.


And 99% of recyclers, bongs and bubblers stop there....

The Freeze Pipe Difference; Multi-Leveled Cooling & Filtration System

TLDR: Glycerin tech + advanced percolators puts Freeze Pipe a puff above


Water filtration is awesome. But no percolator or accessory can match the smoothness or cooling power of a glycerin chamber. And when the two combine? Well you have a perfect storm of smoothness that'll leave your old bong collecting dust.


The secret to achieving the smoothest smoke possible lies in our revolutionary combination of frozen glycerin technology and advanced water filtration. Our pieces are not just vessels for smoke; they are meticulously engineered to smoothen each inhale to perfection.
