10″ ENCORE CLEAR 9MM STRAIGHT

The 10″ ENCORE CLEAR 9MM STRAIGHT is a classic straight-tube glass bong built for people who want a true daily driver that can actually take a beating. At 10 inches (254mm) tall with seriously thick 9mm glass, it feels solid in the hand and even better in use. Add in the built-in ice pinch and you’ve got a cold, smooth hitter that doesn’t need gimmicks to shine.

This is the kind of tube you buy once, keep on the table, and reach for every day without worrying about babying it.

Why You’ll Like It

• Built like a tank — 9mm thick glass walls make this straight tube way tougher than the average shop bong, so it’s ready for regular rotation.
• Cooler, smoother rips — Integrated ice pinch lets you stack cubes in the neck for chilled pulls that are less harsh on the throat.
• Simple, reliable function — Straight-tube design with a downstem and 14mm bowl keeps the airflow clean and direct so you get dense, satisfying hits.
• Stays put on the table — A sturdy base helps keep it upright so you’re not stressing every time someone bumps the coffee table.
• Easy to pack and clear — The included 14mm flower bowl is ready to load right away, no guessing on sizing or hunting for a compatible slide.
• Perfect size for daily use — At 10 inches (254mm), it’s big enough for real pulls but not so tall that cleaning or storing it is annoying.

Best For

This piece is made for smokers who treat their bong like a daily utility tool, not a fragile collectible. If you’re the person whose friends always ask, “Can I hit your piece?” and you need something thick enough to survive that life, this is it. It also pairs well with rugged accessories and unbreakable backup pieces from our smoke shop products collection when you want a full, ready-for-anything setup.

How to Use It

Using a straight tube like this is as straightforward as it looks: add a bit of water to the base, drop in your downstem and 14mm bowl, and you’re basically set. You can fine-tune the water level so it just covers the end of the downstem for smoother, less splashy pulls.

On hotter or heavier sesh days, load a few ice cubes through the mouthpiece until they catch on the ice pinch; they’ll cool your hits as the smoke moves up the tube. Setting the bong on a nonstick dab mat keeps any stray ash or water drips off your table and gives the base some extra grip.

When you’re done, let everything cool down before you dump the water and give it a quick rinse so resin doesn’t have time to really cling to that nice clear glass.

Specifications

Fit & Compatibility

The 10″ ENCORE CLEAR 9MM STRAIGHT uses a standard 14mm joint, which plays nice with most common bowls, ash catchers, and bangers. If you like to swap between flower and dabs, you can keep the stock 14mm flower bowl for dry herb and grab a 14mm banger or accessory of your choice when you want to switch things up. For people who rotate multiple strains, it pairs nicely with having a few different 14mm bowls and some dedicated concentrate jars or stash containers ready to go.

Care & Cleaning

Let the glass cool if it’s been in use, then empty the water and wipe off any loose residue. For deeper cleaning, soak the bong and bowl in isopropyl alcohol, rinse thoroughly with warm water, and let everything dry fully before your next sesh. Keeping on top of quick rinses will help that thick, clear glass stay looking new a lot longer.

FAQ

• How thick is the glass really, and does it feel heavy?
  The tube is made from 9mm thick glass, which is significantly beefier than standard bongs. It has a solid, weighty feel without being obnoxiously heavy, giving you that “this isn’t breaking easily” confidence on the table. If you’re pairing it with other durable gear, check out our selection of tough silicone pipes as backups for on-the-go.
• What size bowl and accessories does it use?
  This bong comes with a 14mm flower bowl and is built around a 14mm joint, so any 14mm slide, banger, or ash catcher should fit as long as the joint style matches. That 14mm sizing is one of the most common standards, so it’s easy to find upgrades or replacements in most shops.
• Can I use it for concentrates too?
  Yes, you can run concentrates on this piece by swapping the included 14mm flower bowl for a 14mm banger or nail. For smoother concentrate sessions, consider using a carb cap with your banger; we’ve got a range of styles in our carb caps collection that can help control airflow and vapor.
• Is a straight tube harder or easier to clean than other bongs?
  Straight tubes like this are usually the easiest style to clean because there are no crazy bends or tight percs for resin to hide in. A little isopropyl alcohol, a few shakes, and a good rinse usually bring it back fast. If you’re particular about cleanliness, you might also like using lined trays or parchment papers around your prep area so less mess ends up in the piece in the first place.
• Will the 10" height be enough for big hits?
  Absolutely. 10 inches (254mm) is a sweet spot: tall enough to stack dense smoke and cool it as it travels, but not so tall that it feels awkward to handle or store. If you like stacking bowls back-to-back during longer hangs, having some extra storage options from our storage & packaging lineup helps keep everything organized between pulls.
• Does the ice pinch really make a difference?
  Yes, especially if you’re taking bigger rips or have a more sensitive throat. The ice pinch holds cubes in the neck, and as smoke travels past them it cools down, which can make hits feel smoother and less harsh. On those days when you’re pushing your tolerance a bit, chilled hits can be a game changer.
• Is this a good option for a first “real” glass bong?
  It’s a great first serious piece: thick glass, straightforward design, easy to clean, and no complicated perc system to baby. If you’re upgrading from something cheap or silicone-only, this gives you that classic glass-tube experience while still being durable enough that you’re not nervous every time someone else picks it up. To build a full starter setup, you can always add a couple of simple accessories like extra bowls or cleaners over time.
