15.5″ ENCORE THICK BASE TREE BEAKER

The 15.5″ ENCORE Thick Base Tree Beaker is a tall, heavy-duty glass bong built for everyday smokers who actually put their glass to work. At 15.5 inches (394mm), it gives you big, cooled hits while the thick base keeps everything planted on the table. With a tree perc for extra diffusion and a 14mm flower bowl included, this is the kind of piece you stash in the “do not touch” zone because it instantly becomes the house favorite.

Why You’ll Reach For This One

• Smoother, cooler rips — The tree percolator breaks your pull into multiple small bubbles, so each hit feels less harsh and more flavorful.
• Stays put on the table — Thick, heavy base adds stability so it’s less likely to get knocked over when people are passing it around.
• Big beaker volume — The classic beaker bottom gives more water and smoke capacity, which means bigger, denser clouds when you want them.
• Ready out of the box — Comes with a 14mm flower bowl, so you’re set to sesh as soon as it lands.
• Dialed-in function — Tree perc + beaker design hits the sweet spot between smoothness and airflow, without feeling like you’re trying to sip a milkshake.
• Looks as good as it rips — Colored lips and perc add some personality without screaming for attention on the shelf.

Best For

This beaker is made for flower lovers running real daily-driver routines, not just taking a novelty hit once a month. If you’re the friend who always has a clean, working piece ready to go, this slots perfectly into that role. It also pairs nicely with a solid dab pad or mat under it if you want to protect your table and keep drips at bay.

How to Use It

Fill the beaker base with enough water so the tree perc is just covered over its slits. That’s where most of the diffusion happens, so you want those cuts under water without flooding the whole neck. Drop in your 14mm bowl, pack it the way you like, and you’re good to go.

As you pull, smoke travels down through the downstem, up through the tree perc, and then into the neck for a long, cool path to your lungs. You’ll feel the difference compared to a straight-tube with no perc — smoother, less throat bite, and more flavor from your flower. If you ever decide to swap the bowl for a banger, it’ll still function great as a dab setup, especially if you keep your concentrates cold and tidy in proper concentrate jars.

When you’re done, dump the old water and give it a quick rinse. Keeping the water fresh is the easiest way to make this thing taste good every time, especially if it’s your main piece sitting next to your other go-to smoke shop gear.

Specifications

Fit & Compatibility

The 15.5″ ENCORE Thick Base Tree Beaker uses a 14mm joint, which is the most common size out there, so it plays nice with most bowls, bangers, and ash catchers you might already own. If you like mixing flower and concentrates, you can turn this into a hybrid setup by swapping the bowl for a 14mm banger and adding any preferred carb cap from our lineup of carb caps.

Care & Cleaning

Let the piece cool before you deal with it, especially if you’ve been using a torch and banger on it. For quick turns, rinse with warm water and shake gently to knock loose debris. For deeper cleans, soak the glass in isopropyl alcohol, rinse thoroughly with water, and let it dry completely before using again.

FAQ

• Does this bong come with everything I need to use it?

It comes with the 15.5″ beaker and a 14mm flower bowl, so if you’re strictly smoking flower, you’re good to go. Dabbers will want to add a 14mm banger and maybe a directional cap — you can always grab extra tools from our dedicated dab tools collection.

• Will this fit my 14mm banger or ash catcher?

Yes. As long as your accessory is 14mm and matches the joint gender on this piece, it should fit. That makes it easy to move gear between this beaker, smaller rigs, and even compact nectar collectors and straws if you like to keep a full concentrate setup.

• How much water should I put in it?

Fill the beaker so the slits on the tree perc are fully submerged but not drowning the entire chamber. Too little water and you lose diffusion; too much and you’ll get splashback. A quick test pull without packing the bowl will tell you if it’s at a comfortable level.

• Is the base really that thick, or is it just marketing?

The base on this beaker is noticeably thicker and heavier than a lot of budget glass, which helps keep it from tipping if someone bumps the table. It’s not indestructible — it’s still glass — so using it on a soft surface like a silicone mat or near silicone rigs is always a smart move if you’re clumsy or seshing with a crowd.

• Can I travel with this or is it more of a home piece?

At 15.5 inches, this is definitely more of a stay-at-home bong. If you need something for on-the-go or to toss in a backpack, you’re better off grabbing a smaller hand pipe or something in our tougher storage and packaging options to keep breakables safe.

• Is it hard to clean around the tree perc?

The tree perc adds some complexity, but a good soak in isopropyl alcohol and a warm water rinse usually takes care of it. Swirl the cleaning solution through the perc and let it sit for a bit if you’ve gone a while between deep cleans.

• Is the color exactly what’s shown in the photos?

Colors can vary slightly from piece to piece and from screen to real life, but each ENCORE Thick Base Tree Beaker has a clean, vibrant finish on the lips and perc. Function stays the same regardless of color — that part’s locked in.
