Best For

This bowl is for daily smokers who go through a few bowls a day and need something that works without breaking the bank. If you've got a standard 18mm bong and you're tired of buying cheap import bowls that crack after a week, this is your move. It's also a smart backup bowl to keep around — you'll use it.

How to Use It

Slide the 18mm male end into your bong's 18mm female joint. Pack your flower into the fume bucket, light it, and pull the bowl out by the handle when you're clearing the chamber. The handle stays cool enough to grab without waiting, which is the whole point of having one.

The fume design means the glass will change color as you use it. Some people like the look, others just appreciate that it shows when it's time for a cleaning. Either way, it's a visual cue. When the bowl starts looking caked, soak it in isopropyl alcohol, rinse it out, and you're back to clear glass.

This is a standard flower bowl — no fancy percs, no gimmicks. You pack it, you smoke it, you clean it. If you want something more decorative or a different joint size, check out the full range of hand pipes and accessories.

Specifications

Fit & Compatibility

This bowl is made for 18mm female joints. If your bong or water pipe has an 18mm female downstem, this fits. If you're using a 14mm piece, you'll need an adapter or a different bowl. The male joint is ground glass, so it creates a good seal without needing a grommet.

The fume bucket is a standard depth — not a giant party bowl, not a tiny one-hitter style. It's sized for personal use or small group sessions. If you're loading bowls for a bigger crew, you might want something with more capacity, but for most daily smokers, this is the sweet spot.

Cleaning & Care

Let the bowl cool down before handling it after use. When it's caked with resin, soak it in isopropyl alcohol (90% or higher works best) for 15-30 minutes, then rinse with warm water and let it dry. The fume will stay visible even after cleaning — that's part of the design. For stubborn buildup, use a pipe cleaner or small brush to scrub the inside of the bucket.

FAQ

Will this fit my 18mm bong?

Yes, as long as your bong has an 18mm female joint. This is a male bowl, so it slides into female joints. If you're not sure what size your piece is, measure the opening — 18mm is about 3/4 inch across.

What does "fume bucket" mean?

Fuming is a glassblowing technique where silver or gold is vaporized onto the glass, creating a subtle metallic tint. As you use the bowl and resin builds up, the fumed areas shift color — usually turning gold, amber, or blueish depending on the fume and how much you've smoked. It's a visual thing, not a functional difference.

Does the handle stay cool?

The peg handle is far enough from the bowl that it doesn't get as hot as the glass around the flame, but it's not completely heat-proof. If you're torching the bowl for a long time, it'll warm up. For normal use, it's cool enough to pull out without waiting.

Is this bowl better than the cheap ones I see online?

American-made glass like this is thicker and more durable than most import bowls at the same price point. U&M has been making glass for smoke shops for years — it's not high-end art glass, but it's reliable daily-use gear. If you're breaking bowls every couple weeks with cheap imports, this is a better bet.

Can I use this for concentrates?

No, this is a flower bowl. If you want to dab concentrates, you need a quartz banger or a proper dab rig setup. You could technically put concentrates on flower in this bowl, but you're wasting product — flower bowls don't vaporize concentrates efficiently.

How do I know when to clean it?

When airflow starts getting restricted or the taste goes off, it's time. The fume will darken as resin builds up, so that's a visual cue. Some people clean their bowls after every few sessions, others wait until they're clogged. Just depends on how particular you are about taste and draw resistance.

What if it doesn't fit my piece?

Double-check your joint size before ordering. This is 18mm male only. If you've got a 14mm female joint, you need a 14mm male bowl or an adapter. If you're using a 10mm piece, same deal — wrong size. Most standard bongs are 14mm or 18mm, so measure if you're not sure. For more compatible accessories, browse the full selection of bong accessories to find what fits your setup.
