When you hear the words “recycler bong” what comes to mind? If you thought about the process or idea of recycling and bongs – you are on the right path. A glass recycler bong is a unique way to inhale smoke, as the recycler bong moves the smoke through various chambers, essentially recycling it through the process, before it is then inhaled.

A glass recycler water pipe is a common way of concentrating the smoke through pipes, as it loops from chamber to chamber and then back to the original chamber before filtering and being released into a toker's lungs. Recycler pipes are a common bong choice for tokers because of the filtration that happens to the smoke. For example, a bong with a double barrel cycler will allow a toker to pull in more smoke resulting in a smoother hit. What also makes a recycler bong different and an ideal choice for tokers is that of the recycler rig – because of the additional chambers that the smoke is recycled through, a rig is used.

What makes the best recycler?

When it comes to traditional bongs, a recycler bong is one that allows the toker to have more contact with the water, which means less air and less likely to get stale fast. Even investing in a cheap glass recycler allows any toker to experience the recycler bubbles closer to their mouth, which means you can savour the taste of your mix.
