11 Best Percolator Bongs - every budget covered!
Whether you are a newbie or an experienced smoker, you have probably used or own a bong. However, are you familiar with a percolator? Chances are you have heard the term, but you still might be wondering exactly what is a percolator? Taking a hit from a bong should be a smooth experience. A percolator effectively guarantees smoothness by cooling the smoke down even further. However, there are different types of percolators and each one varies in effect.
A percolator acts as a diffuser. The water from the bong cools the smoke. The percolator is an intermediary process that diffuses the smoke right before it hits the water. The design of the percolator, such as how many holes, placement, size, and shape will determine how much smoke comes into contact with the water to cool. Some percolators work better than others as a bong diffuser. In addition to slowing and diffusing the hit, a well-designed perk moisturizes and filters the smoke even further.
If you are shopping for a bong, then you are going to want to focus on purchasing a high-end percolator bong to truly enjoy your smoking experience. Here is a list of the eleven best percolator bongs currently on the market.
When you are looking for a top-shelf bong then you definitely want to consider Tree Perc Bongs. The Tree Perc Glass Bong has been designed with ten arms to its perc to further filter the smoke prior to inhaling. It comes equipped with a splash guard to prevent water from coming up the tower of the bong and reaching your mouth. The splash guard also doubles as a three pinch ice catcher. Place ice cubes into the ice catcher to further cool each hit so it becomes an icy delight. With this lovely bong, you can say goodbye to harsh hits and relish each drag off the mouthpiece.
In addition, to the well-designed glass percolator, ice holder, and splashguard, the Tree Perc Glass Bong has also been fashioned from durable, clear glass. The large 5-inch beaker base helps prevent accidental tip-overs. Within the beaker base is the removable diffused downstem. With the interchangeable downstem, you can easily light up concentrates or dry herbs.
