2.5″ 18mm U&M Color Bucket Flower Bowl – Made in USA – 18mm

The U&M Color Bucket Flower Bowl is a 2.5-inch 18mm glass bowl made in the USA for smokers who want a reliable replacement bowl without dropping serious cash. The bucket-style design holds a solid flower load, the clear horn handle stays cool to the touch, and at this price point, you can grab a few in different colors and rotate them out. Built by U&M Glass, a trusted name in American-made smoking accessories, this bowl fits standard 18mm female joints and does the job session after session.

Key Benefits

  • Fits most standard water pipes — 18mm male joint plays nice with the majority of bongs and bubblers already on the market
  • Bucket-style bowl holds enough for a group sesh — wider opening means you're not packing tiny pinches or rushing to reload
  • Clear horn handle keeps your fingers safe — pull it without touching hot glass or fumbling with a nub
  • Made in the USA by U&M Glass — consistent quality from a manufacturer that's been in the game for years
  • Affordable enough to keep spares — stock up on a few colors so you always have a clean bowl ready
  • Multiple color options available — pick your vibe or mix and match across your rotation

Best For

This bowl works for anyone with an 18mm water pipe who needs a solid replacement or spare. Perfect for daily smokers who want a backup bowl on deck, group sessions where bowls get passed around and dropped, or anyone who likes swapping out colors to match the mood. If you're running a piece with an 18mm female joint and want a bowl that won't break the bank, this is it.

How to Use It

Slide the 18mm male joint into your water pipe's female joint until it fits snug. Pack your flower into the bucket — the wider opening gives you room to work with. Light, pull, and when you're ready to clear the chamber, grab the clear horn handle and lift the bowl out. The horn design keeps your fingers away from the heat, so you're not getting singed mid-sesh.

For group sessions, the bucket style means fewer reloads. Pack it once and pass it around. When you're done, let it cool, then tap out the ash and rinse it with warm water. For deeper cleans, soak in isopropyl alcohol, rinse thoroughly, and dry before reuse. Having a spare bowl on hand means you can rotate between a dirty one soaking and a clean one ready to go.

What's Included

  • One 2.5-inch U&M Color Bucket Flower Bowl (18mm male)

Fit & Compatibility

This bowl fits any water pipe or bubbler with an 18mm female joint. That covers most medium to large bongs on the market. If your piece has a 14mm or 10mm joint, this won't fit — check your joint size before ordering. The bucket design works best for flower; it's not meant for concentrates or oil rigs.

Limitations

This is a solid daily driver, but it's still glass — drops onto hard surfaces will crack or shatter it. The clear horn handle is durable, but if you're pulling bowls while distracted or passing to someone who's already toasted, accidents happen. Keep a spare on hand. The bucket style holds more flower than a standard funnel bowl, which is great for groups but might be overkill for solo sessions where you're trying to conserve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my 18mm bong?

Yes, as long as your bong has an 18mm female joint. This bowl has an 18mm male joint, so it slides right in. If your piece has a 14mm or 10mm joint, you'll need a different size bowl or an adapter.

What's the difference between a bucket bowl and a regular funnel bowl?

Bucket bowls have a wider, flatter opening that holds more flower and makes packing easier. Funnel bowls are narrower and deeper, which some people prefer for solo sessions or slower burns. Bucket style is better for group sessions where you want to pack once and pass it around.

How do I clean this bowl?

Let it cool completely, then rinse with warm water to knock out loose ash. For built-up resin, soak it in isopropyl alcohol (91% or higher works best) for 20-30 minutes, rinse thoroughly with warm water, and let it dry before using again. A pipe cleaner or small brush helps scrub stubborn spots inside the bowl.

Is the horn handle heat-resistant?

The clear horn handle is made of glass, so it doesn't conduct heat as quickly as the bowl itself. It stays cooler to the touch when you're pulling the bowl mid-session, but it's still glass — let the whole piece cool before handling it too aggressively.

Why should I buy a bowl made in the USA?

American-made glass from manufacturers like U&M tends to have more consistent quality control and thicker glass walls compared to cheaper imports. You're less likely to get a bowl that cracks after a week. Plus, supporting domestic glassblowers keeps the craft alive.

Can I use this bowl for concentrates or oil?

No, this is a flower bowl. The bucket design is made for dry herb, not concentrates. If you're dabbing, you need a quartz banger or a dedicated concentrate nail.

How many bowls should I keep on hand?

At this price, grab at least two. One clean, one soaking. If you're clumsy or hosting sessions regularly, stock up on three or four so you're never stuck with a broken bowl and no backup. Different colors also make it easy to tell which bowl is clean at a glance.
