Water Pipe Glossary: Terms to Remember for Beginner Smokers
Water Pipe Glossary: Terms to Remember for Beginner Smokers
The water pipe industry involves lots of technical terms you may be unfamiliar with, especially if you are a beginner. You may even be wondering about the difference between high-tech glass bongs and water bongs with a hose. The good news is we created a glossary to help you discover various water pipes, beaker dab rigs, and accessories and what they are for. Here are some terms you have to remember as a beginner smoker:
Ash catcher
An ash catcher is designed to offer extra filtration and keep your water pipe clean by reducing the amount of tar that enters the main chamber of your water pipe. It prevents debris from ending up in the water. It comes in different sizes, shapes, and styles with various percolators.
You can easily add an ash catcher or remove it from your tube. It can even be converted into a portable water pipe with a J-hook. If you’re wondering if it is a worthwhile purchase, you wouldn’t want to hit a dirty pipe, so an ash catcher is a must-have for every smoker.
Beaker bongs
A beaker bong is a water pipe with a wide, beaker-shaped base. It is ideal for beginners like you because it offers smooth smoke and increased stability. Bongs in this style are also more durable and less likely to be knocked over. They hold more water and more smoke so that you can enjoy larger, stronger hits. You can use percolators to your beaker bong to add extra filtration to your smoking experience.
Dabber
A dabber is an instrument used to scoop and press your preferred waxes, oils, and concentrates against the heated surface of your dab rig. It comes in various shapes and sizes and is created from different materials, like glass, stainless steel, and titanium.
Diffuser or percolator
A percolator or diffuser is a filtration device. It works by forcing the vapor or hot smoke through the cool water inside your pipe and cools it down, allowing you to enjoy a smoother hit. Some have only one hole at the bottom of a removable downstem or fixed stem, while others contain hundreds of holes that create high levels of diffusion to let you have an extremely smooth smoke.
Herb grinder
While you can simply pull the herb apart by hand, its potency can be reduced when pollen and other plant matter stick to your finger. Therefore, whether you are loading up a spoon, packing in your bong, or rolling up, it’s best to use an herb grinder since it lets you get the most out of your product. This tool allows you to grind herbs into a finer texture and enjoy more satisfying hits.
