Those newbies smoking weed may easily get confused between bongs and bubblers. However, design and functionality-wise, bubblers are different from bongs.
They have different structures and different types, designs, and price ranges. They are like pipes, but bigger and better with a water chamber.
Read ahead to know about the structure of water bubbler pipes and their types.
Structure of a Bubbler
Regardless of the price range and design of a bubbler, the basic structure remains the same. The basic system of the bubbler is comprised of:
1.Weed Bowl

This is the bowl in which the weed is placed. This is at the bottom of the bubbler pipe and can vary in shape and size. You will have to place the weed in it and then use a torch lighter to light it.

2.Water Chamber

The water chamber is a classic piece in every bubbler. This is constructed above the weed bowl. In this, you will fill up the water and ice cubes if need be. It is directly attached to the mouthpiece, from where you will inhale the smoke.

The water chamber helps clean the smoke and reduces the harshness of the weed smoke. As the smoke passes through the water chamber, it gets filters, and the debris is removed from it.

3.Stem

The stem is the piece between the bowl and the water chamber. The branch connects these two pieces and the smoke from the weed reaches the water chamber through the stem. The length of the stem can differ from one bubbler to another.
.Types of Bubblers
There are different designs and styles that you find both offline and online for any weed-smoking needs. Most of the bubblers are either handcrafted or machine crafted.
You can find bubblers in different colors, shapes, and styles. Some bubblers are large, while others are small. You can even find bubblers blown in the forms of animals and other things.
There are six most popular types of water bubbler pipes that you can choose from:
1.Hammer

Hammer bubblers look very much like a hammer and, therefore, the name. The bottom of the bubbler is flat, which makes it easy to place them on a surface.

2.Sidecar- Bubbler Pipes

Sidecar bubblers are created to prevent the water from splashing back while smoking. In Sherlock and hammer bubblers, the stem is vertical, which causes water splashing. In the sidecar, the branch is horizontally attached to the side. This prevents the water from splashing back.

3.Sherlock

Sherlock bubblers have got the name from the famous Sherlock Holmes’s pipe. It is like a hammer bubbler with a vertical stem and flat bottom. But, the stem is shaped in an ‘S’ which gives Sherlock’s pipe-like design.

4.Double Bubblers

Are you a clean smoke enthusiast? Then, double bubblers are perfect for you. These bubblers have two water chambers instead of one. Water chambers help filter the smoke and clean it from debris and ash. The smoke will get filtered twice with a dual percolator or water chamber. It gives a cleaner and pure form of smoke with no adulteration.

5.Concentrate

These bubblers are pretty rare and are not for those who smoke dry weed. They are meant to smoke concentrates. Many people like to smoke concentrates like dabs or hash. These bubblers are designed so that instead of dry weed, you can fill liquid concentrate in it.

6.Pendant

If you want to carry your bubbler around, then a pendant bubbler is for you. These bubblers are small, handy in shape, and can be strung on a chain as a necklace. It is a handy bubbler with a small hole in it to put on a chain as a pendant.
Your choice of bubbler should depend on the complexity, size, price, material, and style. You will find different options that fit your budget, objective, and taste.
