The 2.5″ 18mm U&M Color Bucket Flower Bowl is a made-in-USA replacement bowl for 18mm setups, built for people who actually burn through bowls and want something solid and good-looking. It’s a chunky color bucket with a clear peg/horn handle, so it’s easy to grab and pull even when things are hot. At 2.5 inches (63.5mm) overall, it gives you comfortable clearance and a clean look without feeling oversized on your piece.
Why You’ll Like It
-
Easy pulls, no finger burns — The clear peg/horn handle gives you a solid grip so you can pull the bowl without getting your fingers cooked.
-
Show off your setup — The color bucket design adds a pop of personality to your piece instead of another boring clear funnel.
-
Built for daily rotation — USA-made glass with a sturdy feel, so it’s ready for being passed around and used constantly.
-
Drop-in upgrade — Standard 18mm joint size means it plays nice with a ton of common water pipes and rigs running 18mm female joints.
-
Comfortable length — 2.5 inches (63.5mm) overall length gives you enough room to handle it easily without sticking awkwardly far out.
Best For
This bowl is made for flower lovers who actually care what their setup looks like but don’t want something fragile and fussy. It’s a great swap if your stock bowl broke, got too gunked up, or you just want a color bucket that matches the rest of your glass, especially if you’re already dialing in a full kit of smoke shop products for your home station.
How to Use It
Slide the 18mm joint into any piece with an 18mm female joint, and you’re ready to pack your flower. The bucket style gives you a nice, roomy bowl, while the clear peg/horn lets you lift it straight out without twisting or hunting for grip when you’re mid-sesh.
Between bowls, you can rest it on a dab mat instead of the table so any ash or resin stays off your surfaces. When it’s time for a clean, let the glass cool down completely, then soak it briefly in isopropyl alcohol, rinse with warm water, and dry before putting it back into rotation.
The Basics
This is a straightforward flower bowl with a focus on feel and fit rather than gimmicks. The 18mm glass joint is sized for common mid-to-large water pipes, and the bucket profile gives you a deeper, more forgiving bowl than a narrow funnel, which is nice if you like fatter packs or sharing with a couple friends.
Since it’s made in the USA, you’re getting consistent joints and cleaner finishing than a lot of cheap import parts, which matters when you’re constantly popping bowls in and out of your favorite silicone bongs and rigs and don’t want wobbly fits or stuck glass.

Fit & Compatibility
This 18mm bowl is designed to fit into any water pipe or rig with an 18mm female joint. If your current bowl says 14mm or looks noticeably smaller, this one will be too big, so double-check your joint size before you grab it. It’s a clean choice if you’re slowly upgrading your setup alongside better storage like proper concentrate jars and stash jars instead of random containers.
FAQ
-
Will this fit my bong?
If your bong has an 18mm female joint, yes — this bowl will drop right in. If you’re not sure, compare your current slide to a known 18mm part or check with the shop you got it from.
-
Is the handle actually easy to grab?
Yes. The clear peg/horn gives you something solid to pinch or hook a finger on, which helps a lot when the bowl is warm and you don’t want to grab the glass itself. It’s especially nice when you’re passing the piece around a crowded table or balancing it next to your other accessories.
-
Can I use this on a silicone piece?
As long as your silicone piece has an 18mm female joint, this glass bowl will work fine. Just seat it gently and avoid knocking it around since glass is still breakable even if the rest of the piece isn’t.
-
How do I clean the bowl without ruining it?
Let it cool down first, then soak it in isopropyl alcohol until the residue loosens. Rinse with warm water and let it dry completely before using again. Avoid extreme temp shocks like dropping a hot bowl straight into cold water.
-
Is the bowl deep, or more of a snap-style?
The bucket shape leans more toward a deeper bowl than a tiny snap, giving you room for a full pack without it feeling cramped. If you prefer quick, tiny snaps, you can just pack lighter or grind a bit finer with your usual tools from our broader storage & packaging lineup.
-
Does the color affect how it hits?
No — the color is purely aesthetic. Function-wise it behaves like any quality glass flower bowl: what will change the feel more is your grind, pack, and the piece you’re using it on.
-
Is this a good option if I break bowls a lot?
It’s still glass, so it’s not unbreakable, but the made-in-USA construction and peg handle make it a solid, dependable daily driver. If you’re rough on gear, pairing this with padded storage or keeping your piece parked on a stable surface like near your pressing and parchment station can help keep the “oops” moments down.
