Why Buy A Bubbler?
- Bubblers work with both dry herbs and concentrates.
- Bubblers have a moderate size that balances portability and powerful puffs.
- Water filtration keeps clouds fresh and clean; the size makes the water chamber easier to maintain than a full-sized water pipe.
Popular Bubbler Features:
- Borosilicate glass (for long-lasting durability)
- Side carb (to improve airflow)
- Diffused downstem (to maximum water filtration)
Bubblers are available in a variety of sizes and designs. That means you are certain to find one that makes your heart flutter.

How to Clean A Bubbler:
When build-up appears on a glass bubbler, pour the dirty water out and flush the inside of the piece with warm, clean water. Then, pour a cleaning solution into the piece (rubbing alcohol works well, especially with a splash of salt). Cover the openings of the bubbler, give it a shake, and scrub clean if you have a pipe brush.
Congratulations! You’re now an expert on the bubbler scene.
