5.5″ Silicone Sitting Labubong

The 5.5" Silicone Sitting Character Pipe is a compact silicone water pipe built for smokers who want something portable, unbreakable, and a little more fun than your standard piece. At 5.5 inches tall, it's small enough to toss in a bag but still delivers smooth, water-filtered hits. The sitting character design adds personality to your setup, and silicone construction means you're not nursing a broken piece after one clumsy moment.

Key Benefits

• Survives the chaos — Silicone body shrugs off drops, bumps, and the kind of accidents that would shatter glass
• Fits in your daily carry — 5.5 inch height makes it easy to stash in a backpack, drawer, or glove box without taking over your space
• Smooth hits without the bulk — Water filtration cools smoke down, so you're not coughing through every session
• Plays nice with standard bowls — Includes a 14mm glass flower bowl, and swaps easily if you want to use your own
• Easy cleanup when things get sticky — Silicone peels right off residue, and the whole thing can handle a soak without stress
• Character design that actually holds up — Sitting pose keeps it stable on tables, and the sculpted details don't wear off with use

Best For

This piece works for smokers who need portability without sacrificing function. If you're rotating between spots — friends' places, road trips, camping setups — and don't want to babysit a fragile glass piece, this handles the movement. Also solid for anyone with limited space or a history of knocked-over bongs. The character design appeals to collectors who like novelty pieces that still perform, and the price point makes it a low-risk grab for trying out silicone if you've been skeptical.

How to Use It

Fill the base with enough water to cover the downstem opening — usually about halfway up the chamber. You want bubbles when you pull, but not so much water that it splashes into your mouth. Pack the 14mm glass bowl with ground flower, light it while pulling gently to get the chamber filling with smoke, then clear it by pulling the bowl out or lifting it slightly depending on the carb setup.

Silicone doesn't conduct heat like glass, so the body stays cool even during back-to-back bowls. The sitting character design keeps it stable on flat surfaces, which matters more than you'd think when you're mid-session and reaching for a lighter. If you're new to silicone bongs, the biggest adjustment is the slightly different draw resistance compared to glass — it's a bit more flexible, but you get used to it fast.

For cleaning, let it cool if you've been using it heavily, then dump the water and wipe down the inside. Silicone releases residue easier than glass, so a quick rinse usually handles daily maintenance. For deeper cleans, soak it in isopropyl alcohol, rinse thoroughly, and let it dry before the next use.

Durability & Care

Silicone handles the kind of abuse that ends glass pieces. You can drop it, pack it tight in a bag, or knock it off a table without dealing with shattered glass and ruined plans. The material is heat-resistant enough that the body won't melt or deform from normal use, but keep open flames away from the silicone itself — the glass bowl is where combustion happens.

The character sculpting is molded into the silicone, not painted on, so it won't chip or fade with regular handling. Color options mean you can match your style or grab a specific look, and the sitting pose keeps it stable during use. Store it anywhere you'd keep other smoke shop accessories — no special cases or padding required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my existing glass bowls?

It comes with a 14mm glass bowl, and any standard 14mm male bowl will work as a replacement. If you already have a 14mm bowl you prefer, it should swap in without issue. Just make sure it's a male joint to fit the female downstem on the piece.

Does silicone change the taste compared to glass?

Good-quality food-grade silicone like this shouldn't add noticeable taste if you're keeping it clean. The glass bowl is where combustion happens, so most of what you're tasting comes from that. Some people swear they can tell the difference between silicone and glass, but most smokers don't notice after a session or two.

Can I take this camping or traveling?

That's one of the main reasons people grab silicone pieces. It's light, unbreakable, and doesn't take up much space. Just make sure it's fully dry before packing it to avoid any smell issues, and you're good to go. Way less stressful than transporting glass.

How often do I need to clean it?

Depends on how much you're using it. Daily smokers usually rinse it out every few days and do a deeper clean weekly. Silicone releases buildup easier than glass, so maintenance is less intensive. If you're noticing residue buildup or the draw getting harder, it's time for a soak.

Is this actually durable or will it tear?

Food-grade silicone for smoking devices is designed to flex without tearing. You'd have to really work to damage it — like cutting it with a blade or exposing it to extreme heat beyond what normal use would cause. It's not indestructible, but it's miles ahead of glass for everyday durability.

Can I put this in the freezer for cooler hits?

Silicone can handle freezer temps, but it won't give you the same effect as freezing a glass piece because silicone doesn't conduct cold the same way. You can try it, but most people just use ice water in the chamber if they want cooler smoke.

What if I lose the bowl?

You can replace it with any standard 14mm male glass bowl. Check local smoke shops or online retailers for replacement accessories. They're cheap and easy to find, so losing one isn't a disaster.
