Heavy-duty reggae bong with a 4-arm percolator
The GlowGlass Heavy combines three features, each of which is a selling point on its own. The thick-walled glass gives the bong substantial weight and sturdiness for daily use. The 4-arm percolator breaks cannabis smoke down into much smaller bubbles than a single diffuser: more surface area in contact with water means better cooling and filtration for a significantly smoother draw. And the transparent glass windows on the side of the tube let you see exactly how the cannabis smoke rises through the water, which is also visually appealing during use.
The reggae color gradient from red through yellow to green is incorporated into the glass itself and won’t fade with cleaning. With a height of 36 cm, a mouthpiece diameter of 50 mm, and an 18.8 mm ground joint, this is a full-fledged bong for serious use. You can find more water pipes for smoking cannabis in the water pipes category.
Use and Maintenance
Fill the bong with water until the percolator arms are just below the water surface. Fill the bowl with weed, light it, and inhale through the 50 mm mouthpiece. The 4-arm percolator provides slightly more resistance than a simple bong, which you’ll notice as a slight extra draw resistance. Clean regularly: percolator arms quickly accumulate resin. Use isopropyl alcohol with coarse salt, shake thoroughly, and rinse well. Thanks to the transparent windows, you can immediately see if the inside is clean.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly do the transparent windows do?
The transparent glass windows in the tube let you see inside the bong while you take a hit. You can see how the cannabis smoke bubbles up through the water via the percolator and rises toward the mouthpiece. This has a practical advantage: you can see exactly when the smoke fills the tube and when it’s the right moment for the final draw. Plus, the operation of the 4-arm percolator is immediately visible, which is also visually impressive when in use.
What is the difference between a 4-arm percolator and a standard diffuser?
A standard diffuser has a single set of holes or slots. A 4-arm percolator has four flared glass arms, each with its own openings, which greatly increases the total contact surface between cannabis smoke and water. More bubbles, finer distribution, better cooling. The result is a smoother and cooler draw, but also slightly more resistance when inhaling and faster resin buildup on the arms.
Is the 18.8 mm ground joint compatible with my existing bowls?
18.8 mm is the larger of the two standard sizes commonly found in headshop assortments, alongside 14.5 mm. If you have 14.5 mm bowls or accessories, they will not fit on this ground joint without an adapter. An 18.8 mm bowl offers more airflow than a 14.5 mm bowl, which is practical for a bong with a percolator to maintain sufficient draw.
