8″ ENCORE TWO-TONE BEAKER

The 8" ENCORE Two-Tone Beaker is a compact glass bong built for people who want clean, icy hits without hauling around a huge piece. At 8 inches (203mm) tall with a 14mm joint and built-in ice pinch, it’s an easy daily driver that still looks sharp on the table. The two-tone color design with silver decals makes it feel like a custom piece, not just another clear beaker.

This is the kind of bong you grab when you want real water pipe performance in a size that’s easy to stash, clean, and pass around without stress.

Key Benefits

• Smoother, cooler pulls — The built-in ice pinch lets you stack cubes in the neck so your hits travel through cold glass before they reach you.
• Dialed-in daily driver size — At 8 inches (203mm), it’s big enough to stack smoke nicely but small enough to live on a nightstand, desk, or coffee table.
• Plays nice with standard gear — The 14mm joint means swapping bowls or adding attachments is simple if you already have other pieces with 14mm fittings.
• Stable beaker base — The classic beaker shape gives you a wide footprint, so it’s less likely to tip when the table gets busy.
• Two-tone style that actually pops — The contrasting colors and silver logos give it a more premium, intentional look than a basic clear tube.
• Comfortable, familiar function — If you’ve ever hit a beaker, you know the draw: classic chug, great smoke stacking, and easy water level tuning.

Best For

This 8" ENCORE beaker is made for smokers who want a simple, reliable water pipe that doesn’t hog space or scream "giant bong" on the shelf. It’s a sweet spot for people who like the function of bigger glass but still want something they can move from room to room without babying it. If your setup already includes a silicone rig or two, this makes a nice glass counterpoint when you want that classic beaker feel; you can browse more durable options in our silicone bongs & rigs lineup.

How to use it

Fill the beaker base with enough water to cover the bottom of the downstem without flooding it. You want bubbles, not splashback. Load the included 14mm bowl with your herb, set your ice cubes in through the mouthpiece until they rest on the ice pinch, and you’re ready for chilled hits. Once you’ve got your preferred water level figured out the first time, it becomes a quick, repeatable routine.

To keep your area clean and your glass safer, it’s a good move to park this on a soft surface like a dab mat or pad so you’re not clinking glass directly on hard tables. When you’re done, dump the water, give it a quick rinse, and it’s ready for next sesh.

The basics of beaker function

Beaker bongs are popular because they give you a solid mix of volume, stability, and easy pull. The widened base allows more water and smoke to build up, so each hit has room to cool down before it reaches you. The ENCORE’s ice pinch adds another cooling stage above the waterline, so the smoke passes by chilled glass and melts some of that harshness.

The 14mm joint is standard for a lot of bowls and even some smaller ash catchers, so if you want to tweak diffusion or switch bowls for different grinds, you’re not locked into a proprietary setup. If you ever move into concentrates, it also means you can pair it with compatible nails or bangers and handle your dabs with proper dab tools instead of improvising.

Care & cleaning

Let the glass cool before you mess with it, then dump the water and rinse out the base. For deeper cleans, add a little isopropyl alcohol, shake gently, soak if needed, then rinse thoroughly with warm water and let it dry before using again.

If you’re stocking up your whole setup and want everything to stay fresher between rips, pair this with proper storage like our glass jars & packaging so your herb tastes as clean as your bong hits.

Fit & compatibility notes

The most important detail here is the 14mm joint size. Any 14mm male bowl, slide, or compatible accessory should plug right in. Since it’s a glass-on-glass connection, you’ll get a solid seal without needing extras. Just remember: 14mm only — larger 18mm gear won’t fit without an adapter.

For people who like to keep their flower and concentrates organized, this piece fits nicely into a more complete station with proper storage & packaging for everything around it so you’re not leaving half-open bags and dusty nugs on the same table as your clean glass.

FAQ

Q: Does this come with a bowl?
A: Yes, the 8" ENCORE Two-Tone Beaker includes a 14mm bowl so it’s ready to go right out of the box. If you want backups or different bowl styles, you can easily swap in any 14mm male piece that matches your preference.

Q: Will this fit in a backpack?
A: At 8 inches (203mm), it’s small enough to fit in most backpacks if you pad it or wrap it in something soft. Just make sure it’s empty, dry, and protected so you’re not clinking glass against other stuff when you’re on the move.

Q: Can I use this for concentrates?
A: You can, as long as you pair it with a compatible 14mm nail or banger. A lot of dabbers like having a dedicated rig, but if you’re just getting into dabs, this beaker can pull double-duty when used with the right accessories and solid nectar collectors or other concentrate tools in your kit.

Q: How much water should I put in it?
A: Fill just enough to cover the bottom of the downstem so you get proper bubbling without water splashing up the neck. You can experiment a bit to find the sweet spot you like best, but if you see water creeping toward the mouthpiece, pour a little out.

Q: Is the glass thick?
A: While exact thickness isn’t listed, this ENCORE piece is built to handle regular use as a daily driver. The beaker base helps a lot with durability by spreading out bumps instead of focusing them on one narrow spot, but it’s still glass — treat it with reasonable care.

Q: How often should I clean it?
A: If you’re ripping it daily, a quick rinse every day or two and a deeper clean once a week keeps it looking clear and tasting fresh. Letting resin build up not only looks rough but also mutes flavor over time.

Q: How does this compare to a straight tube bong?
A: Beakers like this generally feel a bit smoother thanks to the extra water volume and wider base, and they’re less tippy than straight tubes. Straight tubes can clear a bit faster, but for most people the beaker’s mix of stability, volume, and ice pinch cooling wins for a relaxed home piece.
