14" Encore Showerhead Straight

14" Encore Showerhead Straight - Slotted Percolation In a Narrow Tube

Three colors are listed. One of them, green, is the only one we can actually ship right now. Blue and black sit at zero. We say that up front because there is nothing worse than picking a color, getting to checkout, and finding out it was never available.

Most percolated pieces are beakers, because a wide base gives the perc room and gives the water somewhere to go. Putting a showerhead inside a straight tube is a different call. You get the fine, quiet bubbling that slits produce, but the smoke then travels up a column of constant diameter and empties fast. The result is filtration without the sluggish feel that puts people off bigger pieces.

At 8.5 ounces this is a light piece for its height. That is a genuine convenience when you are holding it and a genuine risk when you set it down near an elbow. It is worth knowing before it arrives, not after.

Two specs are missing from our data: the joint size and whether a bowl ships in the box. We are not filling those in from memory. Ask us and we will look.

What Makes It Different

Perc in an unusual body. Showerhead filtration inside a straight tube rather than the usual beaker.

Fast clearing. A constant diameter column holds less air, so the pull ends when you stop rather than dragging on.

Quiet bubbling. Slotted percolation is softer sounding than a plain downstem in the same size piece.

Small footprint. Fourteen inches of height without a wide base taking up table space.

Honest stock reporting. Green is what we have, and this page says so instead of burying it in a dropdown.

Specifications

Why People Buy This Shape

• Percolation without the bulk of a beaker base
• Fourteen inches of travel cools the smoke

• Glass throughout with nothing that holds odor
• Straight walls make rinsing quick
• Stock on hand in green rather than a waiting list
• Missing specs flagged rather than invented

Using It Well

Water goes in until the perc slits are barely submerged. That is less water than a beaker takes and far less than most people pour. Test with a dry pull before you pack anything.

Draw steadily. A showerhead in a narrow tube responds well to a slow, even pull and badly to a hard yank, which will send water toward the mouthpiece.

Pro Tip: Set a light tall pipe on a mat or a folded towel. At 8.5 ounces there is not enough weight in the foot to forgive a bump, and glass on a hard countertop is a bad combination.

Who It Works For

Someone with limited table space. Height without a wide base.

A buyer who already owns bowls. None is listed as included here.

People who want a perc but hate slow pieces. This clears quickly.

Anyone fine with green. That is the color we can ship today.

Questions Worth Asking

Which color can I actually get?

Green, with 25 units on hand. Blue and black are listed as options but both show zero inventory right now. All three are the same 14 inch straight tube with the same showerhead percolator, so choosing green costs you nothing but a color preference.

How does a showerhead work in a straight tube?

The perc sits inside the tube and vents smoke through slits around a flared base. In a straight body the smoke then rises through a column of even diameter, so you get the fine bubbling of a percolator without the wide reservoir a beaker adds. It clears quickly.

What are the dimensions?

Fourteen inches tall with a straight profile. That height puts real distance between the bowl and your lips, which is where the cooling comes from. The narrow footprint means it takes up less table area than a beaker of the same height, though it is also easier to knock over.

Is a bowl included?

No bowl is listed among the included items in our data for this pipe. If you do not already have one that fits, ask us to confirm what ships before you order. We would rather answer a message than have you open the box and find yourself short a part.

What joint does it use?

We have no joint measurement on file for this model, so there is no number on this page. Bowls come in more than one standard size and they do not cross over, which is why a guess here would be worse than a blank. Measure or ask before buying a bowl.

How heavy is it?

The listed weight is 8.5 ounces, which is light for a 14 inch piece. That makes it easy to lift and comfortable to hold, but it also means the base does not do much to keep it upright. Give it a spot away from traffic or use a stand.

Is the perc hard to clean?

It takes more attention than a plain tube but not much more. Slits catch residue first, so flushing warm water through the percolator every few sessions keeps it open. Left alone, a clogged showerhead turns a smooth draw into hard work and needs a long soak to recover.

Cleaning And Care

Flush the percolator with warm water every few sessions. The slits are the narrowest passage in the piece and the first place residue builds, so keeping them clear is most of the maintenance.

For a full clean, use a solution made for glass, cap the openings, and rock the pipe slowly so the liquid works through the perc. Do not force a brush past the percolator. Rinse well and dry inverted.

Warning: Percolator slits crack first under sudden heat. Never use boiling water on this pipe, and never wash it right after bringing it in from the cold. Warm water and gradual temperature changes only.
