16″ BLACK SHEEP RATCHET BEAKER

The 16″ Black Sheep Ratchet Beaker is a tall glass bong built for smokers who want thick clouds without the harsh bite. At 16 inches (406mm) with a ratchet percolator and wide beaker base, it’s made to stack smoke, diffuse it hard, and still feel rock-solid on the table. If you like big, smooth rips and a piece that actually looks good out on the coffee table, this one checks every box with its 14mm setup and color-matched bowl.

Why You’ll Love It

• Smoother, less scratchy pulls — The ratchet perc adds a second stage of diffusion so your hit is cooled and broken up before it ever reaches your lungs.
• Stays put during clumsy moments — The bulbous beaker base gives you a low center of gravity and more contact with your surface, so it’s way less likely to tip if someone bumps the table.
• Extra-chilled hits on demand — Built-in ice pinch lets you drop in cubes for those cool, dense pulls when you want to take things up a notch.
• Ready to smoke out of the box — Comes with a 14mm color-matching flower bowl so you don’t have to dig for spare parts or mismatch your setup.
• Great balance of showpiece and daily driver — Tall enough to impress, simple enough to clean and use every day without babying it.
• Efficient function — The combo of beaker volume + ratchet perc means you can milk big rips without feeling like you’re fighting for airflow.

Best For

This piece is made for smokers who want a full-size daily driver that doesn’t feel basic. If you’re the friend with “the big bong” that everyone wants to hit, this fits that role perfectly. It’s especially solid for people who already have smaller pipes or smoke shop accessories and are finally ready to step up to a serious beaker with real diffusion.

If you like stacking hits, running longer seshes, or sharing with a group, the 16″ height and beaker volume give you the space you need without getting cartoonishly huge.

How to Use It

Day to day, this bong is straightforward. Add water to the beaker base until it comfortably covers the end of your downstem and gives you a nice responsive bubble through the ratchet perc. You want enough water for good diffusion, but not so much that it splashes up into the neck when you clear it.

If you’re into cooler, smoother pulls, use the ice pinch: tilt the bong slightly and slide in a couple of ice cubes so they rest above the perc area. That way, the smoke is diffused in the water, then dragged past the ice for a final chill before you clear the chamber. Setting the beaker on a nonstick dab mat is a nice touch to catch any stray water or ash and keep your table clean.

The 14mm joint means you can swap bowls, add an ash catcher, or convert to a dab setup with a compatible banger if you ever want to run concentrates. Just stick to 14mm gear so everything seals up properly.

Specifications

Fit & Compatibility

The 16″ Black Sheep Ratchet Beaker uses a 14mm joint, so it plays best with standard 14mm bowls, ash catchers, and bangers. If you already have other 14mm glass or bong accessories, they should slot right into this piece with no weird wiggle or airflow issues.

This is a full-size piece, so it’s more of a stay-at-home setup than a travel bong. The beaker base also means it likes a flat, stable surface, not soft couches or beds.

Care & Cleaning

To keep the function crisp and the glass looking clean, don’t let resin build up forever. Let the piece cool after use, then rinse out the base and neck with warm water. For deeper cleans, soak or shake with isopropyl alcohol, rinse thoroughly, and let it dry before using again.

Cleaning regularly also keeps the ratchet perc working like it should, so you actually get that smooth, bubbly diffusion instead of dragging through old reclaim. Storing it away from edges and high-traffic spots reduces the chances of someone bumping into it and knocking it over.

FAQ

• Will this fit my existing bowls and attachments?
  If your gear is 14mm, you’re set. Any standard 14mm flower bowl, ash catcher, or banger should work, similar to what you’d use on other mid-size bongs or silicone bongs & rigs with the same joint size.
• Is the ratchet perc hard to clean?
  Not really. As long as you don’t let it get completely caked, warm water rinses and the occasional isopropyl alcohol soak will keep the ratchet perc clear and functioning smoothly.
• Can I use this for dabs too?
  Yes, if you swap the included flower bowl for a 14mm banger or nail, you can absolutely run concentrates through this. Pair it with your favorite banger and maybe a cap from our carb caps collection to dial in the airflow for dabs.
• Does it come with everything I need to start?
  You get the bong itself plus a color-matching 14mm flower bowl. Just add your favorite flower and you’re ready to go. If you want extra bowls, an ash catcher, or different styles, you can always grab spares from our broader storage & packaging and accessory offerings.
• Is this too big for a casual smoker?
  If you’re used to tiny hand pipes, the 16″ height might feel like a step up, but the beaker design and ratchet perc actually make it easier on your lungs by cooling and diffusing the smoke more. A lot of people end up using a piece like this as their main at-home smoker and keep smaller pipes for on-the-go.
• How fragile is the beaker base?
  It’s still glass, so you want to treat it with some respect, but the bulbous beaker base actually adds stability compared to straight tubes. Keeping it on a steady surface and away from edges does most of the work in preventing accidents, especially if you’re working around other glass like glass jars & packaging.
• What’s the advantage of the ice pinch?
  The ice pinch lets you trap ice cubes in the neck so smoke has to pass by them before it reaches you. That extra chill can make bigger hits feel smoother and easier to handle, especially during longer seshes when you’re taking back-to-back pulls and maybe passing it between friends or alongside silicone pipes.
