16″ BLACK SHEEP INLINE RATCHET STRAIGHT

The 16″ Black Sheep Inline Ratchet Straight is a full-size glass bong built for smokers who want heavy diffusion, big flavor, and those long, milky pulls. At 16 inches (406mm) tall with both an inline perc and a ratchet perc, it’s made for people who actually care about function, not just looks. If you like a tall, ice-loaded tower that cools things way down before it ever hits your lungs, this is your kind of daily driver.

This piece hits that sweet spot between showpiece and workhorse: thick glass, smart perc stack, and a clean, straight-tube silhouette that’s easy to live with and easy to clean. Matching color accents and bowl tie the whole look together so it actually feels like a thought-out setup, not a random glass grab.

Why It Works

• Smoother, cleaner hits — Inline perc plus ratchet perc break your smoke into tons of tiny bubbles for serious diffusion before it ever reaches the neck.
• Stays cool on heavy pulls — 16-inch (406mm) height and an ice pinch give your smoke plenty of travel and contact with ice so you can rip harder without getting cooked.
• Stable on the table — Footed straight-tube base gives you a wide, grounded footprint so it’s less likely to tip when someone bumps the coffee table.
• Built to last — Bridged joint reinforces the stress point where most bongs crack, so this piece can actually keep up with daily seshes.
• Dialed-in aesthetics — Color accents, matching decals, and a coordinated flower bowl make it look like a custom setup right out of the box.
• Easy airflow, big clouds — The straight design and open percs keep drag low, so big rips don’t feel like you’re trying to sip a milkshake through a coffee straw.

Best For

This bong is made for people who like a real sit-down sesh — think living room, coffee table, and a couple of friends passing it around. If you’re the person in the crew who owns the “good glass,” this is absolutely that piece. It’s also ideal if you’ve outgrown tiny travel pipes and want something with legit cooling and filtration, but still want to keep everything in one clean, vertical footprint instead of some wild, hard-to-clean sculptural rig.

If you’re pairing this with other gear, it plays especially well as the centerpiece in a bigger setup alongside your favorite smoke shop accessories like ashtrays, lighters, and storage.

How to Use It

Using the 16″ Black Sheep Inline Ratchet Straight is straightforward once you’ve got your water level dialed. Fill the tube slowly so that the inline perc is just submerged and the ratchet perc is getting consistent bubble action when you pull — too little water and you lose diffusion, too much and you’ll get splashback.

Drop your flower into the matching color bowl, seat it in the joint, and pull steadily so the percs can do their thing. If you like your clouds extra cold, feed a couple of ice cubes down through the mouthpiece until they sit on the ice pinch; they’ll stay suspended high in the neck so they cool the smoke without messing with your water level. Setting this piece on a reliable dab mat is a smart move so you’re not worrying about water marks or resin on the table when things get laid back.

When you’re done, let any remaining water cool, then carefully pour it out and give the tube a quick rinse so it’s not building up grime between seshes. Keeping on top of that light maintenance makes your deeper cleans way easier later.

Cleaning & Care

Let the piece cool down first, then empty the water and wipe or rinse out any loose residue. For deeper cleans, soak the glass in isopropyl alcohol, rinse thoroughly with warm water, and let it dry completely before the next use. A quick rinse after each sesh keeps your perc stack from getting gunked up and makes those deeper cleans a lot less work.

Fit & Function Notes

This is a tall piece, so check your storage spot or cabinet height — at 16 inches (406mm) it wants a bit of vertical space. The straight-tube profile makes it easier to slide into a corner or onto a shelf than wide, beaker-style bases, and that footed base still keeps it stable when it’s on the table.

If you ever rotate in a different slide or accessory, just make sure you’re matching the joint size and style on this bong. Pairing it with a sturdy case or placing it near your storage and packaging setup can also help keep it safe when it’s not in rotation.

FAQ

• Q: Is 16 inches too tall for everyday use?
  A: If you’re used to little 8–10 inch bongs, this will feel like a step up, but that’s kind of the point. The extra height and the two percs give you noticeably cooler, smoother hits. As long as you’ve got the shelf or table space, it’s great as a daily driver.
• Q: How much water should I put in it?
  A: Add water until the inline perc is fully submerged and the ratchet perc is getting good bubble action when you pull. You don’t need to flood the tube — just enough to keep both percs working without splashing into the mouthpiece.
• Q: Can I use this bong with concentrates if I swap the bowl?
  A: Yes, if you grab a compatible banger or nail that matches the joint, you can absolutely use this as a dab rig. When you do that, it pairs nicely with proper dab tools so you’re not improvising every time you want a dab.
• Q: How hard is it to clean the inline and ratchet percs?
  A: For routine cleans, a soak in isopropyl alcohol and a good rinse will get into the perc slits and holes just fine. Because it’s a straight tube, you don’t have a lot of weird bends or chambers, which keeps cleaning simple compared to more complex recycler-style rigs.
• Q: Will it feel draggy with two percs?
  A: The inline and ratchet percs on this piece are designed to diffuse without turning your pull into a workout. With the right water level, you get smooth resistance and dense clouds instead of that suffocating, plugged-up feeling.
• Q: What should I store it with when it’s not in use?
  A: A padded spot away from edges is your best friend, especially if you’re sharing space with roommates or pets. Keeping your flower or concentrates in proper concentrate jars and glass containers nearby also helps keep your whole station organized.
• Q: How does this compare to smaller or single-perc bongs?
  A: Smaller or single-perc pieces are more compact, but you’ll notice hotter, harsher hits when you pack them the same way. The 16″ Black Sheep gives you dual percs plus ice capability, so it’s noticeably smoother and better for longer seshes where you’re taking multiple rips back-to-back. If you like that “big tube” feel with real function, this is the upgrade.

Pair It With

If you’re building out a full station, this bong slots in nicely next to your silicone bongs and rigs for when you want unbreakable options, and it plays well with the rest of your glass-heavy setup. Add a mat, a tray, and a couple of organizers and you’ve got a clean, dialed-in corner that’s ready whenever you are.
