6.5″ Ufo Base Triple Maria Neck Fume Bubbler

The 6.5" UFO Base Triple Maria Neck Fume Bubbler is a compact glass piece built for flower smokers who want portability without sacrificing function. The UFO-style base keeps it stable on any surface, while the triple maria rings on the neck give you grip and visual flair. Fumed glass means this piece changes color over time as you use it, developing character session after session.

Key Benefits

• Compact 6.5 inch design fits in a backpack or drawer without taking up your whole stash box
• UFO base provides a wide, stable platform so you're not constantly worried about tipping
• Triple maria neck rings give you actual grip when your hands are slippery

• Water filtration smooths out harsh hits without the bulk of a full-size bong
• Stands upright on its own between hits so you're not setting it down weird

Best For

This bubbler works for anyone who wants smoother hits than a hand pipe but doesn't have space for a bong. Daily smokers who rotate pieces will like the compact size and color-changing glass. If you're sharing with friends in tight spaces or taking something portable to a kickback, the stable base and small footprint make sense. The triple maria neck gives you something to hold onto, which matters when you're passing it around.

How It Works

Fill the base with enough water to cover the downstem (usually about an inch). Pack your bowl, light it, and pull through the mouthpiece. The water filters and cools the smoke before it hits your lungs, making for a less harsh experience than dry glass. The UFO base sits flat and wide, so you can set it down between hits without babysitting it. The triple maria rings on the neck are raised glass bands that give you something to grip when the piece gets warm or your hands are a little sweaty.

Fumed glass is treated with silver or gold during the glassblowing process, which creates a color-shifting effect. When the piece is new, it might look clear or lightly tinted. As resin builds up inside from use, the fume reveals more color—usually purples, blues, or golds depending on the metals used. This isn't dirt; it's the glass reacting to the buildup. Regular cleaning resets some of the color, but over time, your piece develops a unique patina that reflects how you smoke.

After your sesh, dump the water and rinse it out. For deeper cleaning, use isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt, shake it around, rinse thoroughly, and let it dry. The triple maria neck can trap resin if you don't clean regularly, so hit those spots when you're scrubbing.

Care & Cleaning

Let it cool, then dump the water and rinse out loose debris. For deeper cleans, fill with isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt, shake gently to scrub the inside, rinse thoroughly with warm water, and let it dry before reuse. Pay attention to the maria rings and downstem area where resin likes to hide.

FAQ

Does this stand up on its own or do I need something under it?

It stands upright on its own. The UFO base is wide and flat, so it's stable on most surfaces. You don't need a stand or anything propping it up between hits.

What does fumed glass mean and how does it change color?

Fumed glass is treated with metals like silver or gold during the glassblowing process. When the piece is new, it might look clear or subtly tinted. As you use it and resin builds up inside, the fume reacts and reveals more color—usually purples, blues, or golds. The more you smoke, the more the colors develop. Cleaning resets some of it, but over time your piece develops its own look based on how you use it.

How much water should I put in this?

Enough to cover the downstem by about an inch. Too little and you won't get filtration; too much and you might get splash-back or have trouble clearing the chamber. Fill it, take a test pull, and adjust from there.

Is this easier to clean than a full-size bong?

Yeah, smaller chamber means less area for resin to build up, and you can usually reach everything with a brush or by shaking with alcohol and salt. The triple maria rings can trap some gunk if you let it sit too long, but overall it's less of a project than cleaning a big multi-perc bong.

Can I use this for concentrates?

Not as-is. This is designed for dry flower. If you want to dab, you'd need to swap the bowl for a banger and nail setup, which most bubblers this size aren't really built for. Stick to flower or grab a dedicated dab rig if you're hitting concentrates regularly.

What colors are available?

The fumed glass treatment creates different color shifts depending on the batch and the metals used during production. You might see purples, blues, golds, or a mix. The exact color development depends on how the piece was fumed and how much you use it. Contact the supplier for current color availability before ordering if you have a preference.

How does this compare to a regular hand pipe?

Water filtration is the big difference. A hand pipe gives you dry smoke, which can be harsher and hotter. This bubbler cools and filters the smoke through water, so you get smoother hits without needing a full bong setup. Tradeoff is you have to deal with water and cleaning, but if you want easier pulls, it's worth it.
