The 20" Monark Half Color Recycler Beaker is a premium glass bong built for heavy hitters who want recycler-level smoothness in a familiar beaker shape. It’s made for people who actually use their glass every day, not just stare at it on a shelf. At 20 inches (508mm) tall with a single-uptake recycler and wide beaker base, it’s all about cool, controlled pulls and rock-solid stability.
The half-color design and sandblasted Monark logo give it that heady-showpiece vibe, but the function is what really sells it: consistent recycling action with a standard 14mm joint so it’s easy to plug into the rest of your setup.
Why it works
- Smoother, cooler hits — The single-uptake recycler pulls water and smoke up and back down, constantly moving and cooling your hit before it reaches you.
- Less harshness at bigger rips — That 20" (508mm) height plus recycling gives smoke more time and distance to mellow out, so you can clear bigger bowls without feeling cooked.
- Stable base that won’t stress you out — Beaker bottom means more surface area on the table, so it’s way harder to tip over when you bump the coffee table or pass it around.
- Collection-piece looks, daily-driver function — Half-color glass with a clean sandblasted logo keeps it looking custom without any over-the-top gimmicks that mess with function.
- Ready to rip out of the box — Comes with a 14mm flower bowl so you’re not hunting for spare glass just to try it out.
- Recycler feel without a weird learning curve — If you’re used to classic beakers, this keeps that familiar feel and adds recycling on top of it.
Best for
This piece shines for daily smokers who want their main bong to feel like a heady upgrade, not just another clear tube. If you’re the friend hosting movie nights and seshes, this is the kind of water pipe that becomes part of the ritual and pairs nicely with a clean dab pad or mat to protect your table.
It’s especially good for people who like big water capacity, smoother pulls, and the look of a tall beaker, but still want the extra cooling and motion you usually only see on recyclers.
How to use it
Using the Monark Half Color Recycler Beaker is as straightforward as any beaker-style bong, with the recycler doing the extra work behind the scenes. Fill the beaker base with enough water to cover the perc area and give the recycler chamber room to cycle without splashing into the mouthpiece.
As you pull, smoke and water get pulled up through the single uptake into the upper chamber, then drop back into the base. That constant movement helps cool things down and break up the smoke, so each hit feels smoother than what you’d get from a basic straight-tube or non-recycler beaker. If you like to keep your setup dialed in, stash your bowl or extras in one of our heavy-bottom concentrate jars so they’re not rolling off the table between rips.
The 14mm joint plays nice with a ton of accessories. You can swap in different bowls, a 14mm ash catcher, or even a 14mm banger if you want this to moonlight as a big dab rig. Just keep in mind it’s a tall piece, so a sturdy surface and maybe a small accessory stand or tray will make your station feel way more organized.

Fit & compatibility
The 14mm joint means this bong works with most standard 14mm male bowls, ash catchers, and bangers. If you’re already running 14mm glass on your other smoke shop pieces, it should slot right into your rotation with no weird adapters.
Because it’s a recycler beaker, it likes a bit more water than a tiny straight tube, but you still don’t need to overfill it. If you do, you’ll just end up with extra drag and the recycler chamber might start to spit. Dial it in once and you’re good.
Care & cleaning
Let the piece cool completely before cleaning. Rinse with warm water to loosen residue, then soak or rinse with isopropyl alcohol for deeper cleans, followed by a thorough rinse and full air-dry before using again.
Regular light cleanings will keep the recycler pathway clear, the logo crisp, and the half-color glass looking sharp. If you’re cleaning multiple pieces at once, it can help to set them on a silicone bong or rig station so any drips don’t wreck your counter.
FAQ
- Does this come with everything I need to start?
Yes. The 20" Monark Half Color Recycler Beaker includes a 14mm flower bowl, so as long as you’ve got herb and water, you’re ready to go. If you want to keep your flower fresher between seshes, pair it with proper storage and packaging instead of a plastic baggie. - Can I use this for dabs too?
You can. Just swap the included 14mm flower bowl for a 14mm banger or similar dab attachment. Keep in mind it’s a tall piece, so it’ll feel more like a big, cooled-out dab experience than a tiny micro-rig. For people who mainly dab, you might want a dedicated setup and use this as more of a crossover piece. - How do I keep the recycler function working well?
Don’t overfill the water, and clean it regularly so reclaim doesn’t build up in the uptake and recycler chamber. Rinse with warm water after use when you can, and do a deeper isopropyl alcohol soak when you notice drag increasing or the recycler action slowing down. - Is this too big for smaller spaces?
At 20 inches (508mm), it’s definitely on the tall side, but the beaker base and recycler design make it a solid "main piece" for a coffee table or desk. If your space is super tight, you might want something more compact or a portable option like one of our silicone pipes for on-the-go use, and keep this as your home base piece. - What’s the advantage of a recycler beaker over a regular beaker?
A regular beaker diffuses smoke once through the water and sends it up. This recycler beaker moves the water and smoke repeatedly through the system, giving you smoother, cooler, and often tastier hits with less harshness. If you love the feel of big beakers but want a little more refinement, this hits that sweet spot. - Will it work with my 14mm accessories?
If your accessory is a standard 14mm male piece, it should fit the 14mm joint on this bong. That includes most bowls, ash catchers, and even some nectar collector-style adapters if they’re built for 14mm connections. Just handle with care when stacking extra glass. - How fragile is it?
It’s still glass, so drops and hard hits are not its friend. The beaker base helps with stability and day-to-day safety, but treat it like a nice piece. Set it down gently, avoid tight, cluttered shelves, and maybe don’t leave it where your clumsiest friend is likely to knock it over.
