The 9″ Monark Half Color Barrel Recycler is a premium glass dab rig built for recycler fans who care as much about function as they do about color and design. At 9 inches (229mm) tall with a 14mm 90° female joint and included banger, it’s tuned for smooth, flavorful dabs right out of the box. If you love watching water whirl around while still getting dense, cooled hits, this Monark piece is the kind of rig that can easily become your daily driver.
What You Get Out of It
- Smoother, cooler pulls — Double uptake recycler and 3-hole puck perc work together to break up vapor and keep it from feeling harsh.
- Less splash, more flavor — The single drain tube and wormhole-style barrel keep water cycling where it should be, not in your mouth.
- Built to be ripped, not babied — A bridged joint reinforces the connection so it’s less likely to snap if it gets bumped during a late-night sesh.
- Eye-catching half-color style — Colored lips, inner barrel, uptakes, and more give it that “what rig is that?” look on the table.
- Ready to dab out of the box — Ships with a 14mm 90° banger, so you don’t have to hunt for a nail just to take your first rip.
- Efficient diffusion without drag — The 3-hole puck perc and dual downstems stack bubbles quickly without turning your pull into a workout.
Best For
This rig is made for dabbers running a few solid seshes a day who want recycler function without going into giant, overly complex lab-glass territory. If you like to sit at a clean, dialed-in station with a solid dab mat and a couple of favorite tools instead of a cluttered spread of random pieces, this Monark fits right in. It also hits the sweet spot for anyone upgrading from a basic beaker or tiny rig and wanting their first “nice” recycler that actually delivers on function, not just looks.
How to Use It
Fill the recycler so the 3-hole puck perc and the bottom of the barrel are just covered in water; you want enough for active chug without sending it up the neck. Because of the double uptake design, a modest water level is usually all it takes to get that satisfying whirl in the upper chamber.
Drop your concentrates into the included 14mm banger, start your pull, and watch the recycler do its thing: water and vapor move up the dual uptakes, roll through the barrel section, then drain smoothly back down the return. Running it on a stable surface or next to a padded surface like a silicone bong or rig helps protect it when you’re passing it around or setting it down between dabs.
When you’re done, let the banger cool before you handle it. Regular quick rinses keep the recycler pathways from clogging so the function stays snappy and the drain stays crisp instead of sluggish.

Function & Design Details
The heart of this piece is the 3-hole puck perc sitting at the base. Those three holes kick off tight, stacked bubbles that start cooling and diffusing your vapor before it heads into the recycler section. From there, dual downstems and a double uptake system send water and vapor up into the barrel, where you get that classic recycler “waterfall” effect that people love to watch.
The wormhole-style barrel isn’t just for show — it adds a bit more path length and churn to the vapor, which helps with cooling and gives you that smoother feel on the lungs. Meanwhile, the single drain is tuned to clear water quickly back to the base, so hits feel continuous and rhythmic instead of choppy or chuggy.
Monark’s half-color touches on the lip, barrel, and uptakes make it easy to match to your other glass or to a favorite set of dab tools. It’s the kind of rig that looks intentional on your desk or coffee table instead of just “some random piece.”
Care & Maintenance
For day-to-day upkeep, empty the water after your sesh and give it a quick warm-water rinse. Let the rig cool before cleaning the banger or moving it around too much. For a deeper clean, soak the glass in isopropyl alcohol, rinse well with warm water, and let it dry fully before you reset your station.
If you’re rotating a few different strains or textures, keeping your different concentrates in labeled concentrate jars can help keep flavor sharp and prevent extra reclaim buildup in the rig.
FAQ
- Does this rig come with everything I need to start dabbing?
It comes with the rig itself and a 14mm 90° banger, so you’re set on the main hardware. You’ll still want your own carb cap, dab tool, and a heat source. A lot of people keep everything together on a single, easy-to-clean work surface by pairing it with one of our dab-friendly accessories.
- Will it work with my existing quartz bangers?
As long as your banger is a 14mm male with a 90° angle, it will plug right in. If you’re currently using 45° or 10mm/18mm joints on other rigs, you’ll need a properly sized 14mm 90° banger to match this Monark recycler.
- Can I use it for flower with a bowl instead of dabs?
Technically, yes — any 14mm male flower slide will fit the joint — but the design is really tuned for concentrates. If you mostly smoke flower, you might want to grab a piece that’s built for bowls from our broader smoke shop products collection and keep this one as your dedicated oil rig.
- What’s the easiest way to keep the recycler from getting clogged?
Swap the water often, avoid overfilling it, and give it a warm-water rinse once you’re done for the day. If the uptakes or drain start to slow down, a quick isopropyl alcohol soak followed by a good rinse will usually bring the function back to like-new.
- Is the bridged joint really that important?
For recyclers, yes. That extra glass support takes stress off the joint when you’re moving the rig or adjusting the banger. It’s one of those details that matters when you’re three dabs deep and not trying to explain a broken joint to your roommate — especially if you’re storing the piece alongside other glass and storage gear.
- How does this compare to a simple straight-tube rig?
A straight tube will usually give you a more direct, snappy hit with less water movement. This Monark recycler is all about smoothness and flavor — more water action, more cooling, and a longer vapor path. If you’re sensitive to harsh hits or just love watching function, the recycler design will feel like a serious upgrade.
- Is 9 inches big enough for a main rig, or is this more of a travel piece?
At 9 inches (229mm), it’s right in the sweet spot for a main home rig — stable, easy to hold, and big enough for solid pulls without taking over your table. It’s not tiny, but it’s still compact enough to tuck away in a case or padded bag next to things like mylar bags or other storage when you need to be discreet.
