2.5″ 14MM ENCLOSED OPAL FLOWER BOWL

The 2.5″ 14mm Enclosed Opal Flower Bowl is a glass slide made for flower lovers who want their daily driver to look as good as it hits. It’s built for 14mm water pipes and features a fully enclosed opal that pops against the black glass, so you get a sparkle every time you clear it. At 2.5 inches (63.5mm) long, it’s easy to handle, easy to pass, and just fancy enough to feel special without being too precious to use.

Why You’ll Actually Use This Bowl

• Looks dope on any piece — Black glass with an enclosed opal gives that “custom” vibe without custom-glass prices.
• Ready for most of your glass — Standard 14mm joint size means it drops right into most modern bongs and rigs.
• Comfortable to handle — 2.5 inches (63.5mm) gives you enough length to grab and pull without getting your fingers cooked at the joint.
• Better herb control — The shaped flower bowl holds your material in place so it doesn’t fall straight through or burn unevenly.
• Easy upgrade — Swapping bowls is the fastest way to make an old piece feel new again, especially when it throws light like this opal.

Best For

This bowl is made for people who already have a go-to water pipe and want to dress it up with a cleaner, more aesthetic slide. If you’ve got a favorite tube or rig in your smoke shop lineup and the stock bowl is basic, chipped, or just boring, this is the kind of swap you actually notice every time you load up.

How to Use It

Pop out your current slide, make sure your joint is 14mm, and seat this bowl snugly into the ground joint on your piece. Pack your flower into the bowl—don’t overstuff it—so you get even airflow and a smooth clear. The 2.5-inch length gives you a solid grip when you’re ready to pull it without having to grab super close to the heat.

Between hits, it’s smart to park the bowl somewhere safe instead of balancing it on the edge of the table. Dropping it onto a soft surface like a dab mat or silicone pad helps avoid that “I just shattered my favorite bowl” moment.

Keep It Clean (Without Overthinking It)

Let the bowl cool completely before you touch or clean it. Tap out ash gently, then wipe off loose residue. For a deeper reset, soak it in isopropyl alcohol, rinse with warm water, and let it dry fully before using again. Keeping the glass clean will make that opal sparkle way harder.

Specifications

Fit & Compatibility

This Enclosed Opal Flower Bowl is designed for 14mm female joints only—most modern water pipes and smaller rigs are 14mm, so it’s likely to fit if your piece isn’t huge. If you’re running a big, old-school tube with an 18mm joint, you’ll need a reducer to run this bowl. The joint is glass-on-glass, so it plays nicely with standard borosilicate water pipes and hybrid setups, including a lot of compact silicone bongs and rigs that use glass inserts.

Style & Build Notes

The full black body keeps things looking clean, even when it’s not perfectly spotless, while the enclosed opal is sealed inside the glass so you’re not scraping or burning directly against it. That means the opal is there just for looks—it won’t mess with performance or cleaning. It feels like that one “nice” bowl you save for when you actually care how the setup looks, but it’s tough enough to run as your everyday slide.

FAQ

• Will this fit my bong or rig?

  If your piece has a 14mm female joint, you’re good. Most mid-sized bongs, smaller tubes, and a lot of compact rigs use 14mm. If you’re not sure, compare the opening with another known 14mm bowl or slide you already own.

• Is the opal going to get damaged from heat?

  The opal is fully enclosed in the glass, away from direct flame, so normal use won’t hurt it. Just avoid thermal shock—don’t dunk a hot bowl straight into cold liquid—and you’ll be fine.

• Does the opal change how it hits?

  No, the opal is purely aesthetic. Airflow and function come from the bowl shape and hole size, so this will feel like a standard flower bowl with extra shine, not some weird novelty piece.

• How should I clean around the opal?

  Clean it like any other glass slide: let it cool, soak in isopropyl alcohol if needed, rinse, and dry. Since the opal is sealed inside the glass, it doesn’t need any special treatment.

• Is 2.5 inches big or small for a bowl?

  2.5 inches (63.5mm) is a very comfortable length for a flower bowl—long enough to grab without getting close to the hot spot, short enough that it doesn’t feel awkward or front-heavy on your piece. It works especially well on standard-height tubes and tabletop rigs.

• Can I use this on multiple pieces?

  As long as they all have 14mm female joints, you can swap this bowl between them. If you rotate through different glass or want one “nice” bowl you move from tube to tube, this is a solid option. For storage between pieces, tossing it in a padded tin or keeping it by your storage and packaging setup helps keep it safe.

• What else should I grab to go with this?

  If you’re upgrading your bowl, it might be time to clean up the rest of your setup too—fresh glass pairs nicely with clean flower kept in proper glass jars and a stable surface to sesh on.
