Best For
This piece is made for flower smokers who are tired of replacing broken glass. If you've ever swept up shattered bong pieces at 2 AM, this is your daily driver. Great for people who travel with their gear, share pieces with friends, or just want something that survives the coffee table shuffle. New smokers appreciate the smooth water filtration without the glass anxiety, while veterans like having a beater piece that actually performs.
How to Use It
Fill the beaker base with enough water to submerge the downstem — usually about an inch above where it ends. You want bubbles, not a bathtub. Pack your bowl with ground flower, leaving a little airflow so it pulls smooth. Light it while inhaling gently to get the water percolating, then clear the chamber by removing the bowl or releasing your finger from the carb (if present).
The silicone stays cool to the touch even during back-to-back sessions, so you're not juggling a hot piece. Between uses, dump the old water and rinse it out. Fresh water makes a noticeable difference in taste — stale bong water is nobody's friend.
Because it's silicone, you can squeeze and flex it slightly to dislodge stuck debris during cleaning. Just don't go wild — the bowl and downstem are still rigid, so support those parts when you're handling it. Store it anywhere: on a shelf, in a drawer, even stuffed in a backpack. It won't crack if something bumps it.
Silicone That Actually Lasts
This isn't cheap novelty silicone. Food-grade material means it's safe at smoking temperatures and won't degrade or smell funky after a few uses. The flexibility is what saves it from breaking, but it's still sturdy enough to stand upright without flopping over. You get the durability of silicone without sacrificing function.
Silicone resists heat well, so the base stays cool even when you're running it hard. It also resists staining better than cheaper plastics, though you'll still want to clean it regularly to keep flavors pure. The material is non-porous, so bacteria and residue don't embed themselves like they can in some other materials.

Cleaning & Care
Rinse with warm water after each session to keep residue from building up. For deeper cleaning, soak the piece in isopropyl alcohol (90% works best) for 15-30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly and let it dry. You can also use coarse salt as an abrasive inside the chamber — pour in alcohol and salt, cover the openings, and shake. The silicone can handle it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does silicone affect the taste?
Food-grade silicone is neutral and doesn't add flavor when it's clean. If you're noticing taste issues, it's usually old water or resin buildup, not the material itself. Change your water daily and clean regularly to keep hits tasting fresh.
Will this survive being dropped?
The silicone body is nearly indestructible and will bounce back from drops that would shatter glass. The bowl and downstem are the vulnerable parts, but even those are more forgiving than traditional glass pieces. It's not immortal, but it's way more forgiving than your average water pipe.
Can I travel with this?
Yes. The flexible body makes it easier to pack without worrying about cracks. Just make sure it's fully clean and dry before you take it anywhere, especially across state lines or through airports. Even legal states have specific rules about transporting paraphernalia.
How often should I change the water?
Every session if you want the cleanest taste. At minimum, change it daily. Stale water tastes awful and defeats the purpose of filtration. Fresh water also helps keep the piece cleaner longer.
Is this dishwasher safe?
Technically, yes — food-grade silicone can handle dishwasher temperatures. But you'll still need to scrub resin manually, and dishwashers don't always reach the narrow parts. Hand cleaning with alcohol is faster and more effective for smoking gear.
What if I lose the bowl?
Replacement bowls are easy to find. Check the joint size (usually 14mm or 18mm for beaker-style pieces) and grab a standard glass bowl from any smoke shop or online retailer. Silicone bowls are also available if you want to keep the whole thing unbreakable.
Does it come apart for cleaning?
The bowl removes completely, which makes packing and cleaning easier. The rest of the piece is one solid silicone unit, so you'll clean it by rinsing, soaking, and shaking with alcohol. The one-piece construction is part of what makes it so durable.
