11″ MONARK COLOR FUME TAURUS BONG

The 11″ Monark Color Fume Taurus Bong is a high-end glass incycler built for people who actually care about function as much as looks. At 11 inches (280mm), it’s compact enough for the coffee table but stacked with serious diffusion thanks to a slit puck perc and Taurus recycler design. If you’re the friend who always brings the “good glass” to the sesh, this is that piece.

Why You’ll Actually Use This Every Day

• Smoother, cooler pulls — The slit puck perc stacks bubbles hard, taking the edge off hot smoke before it climbs the incycler path.
• Less splashback, more flavor — Taurus incycler design keeps water moving in a loop without sending it up to your lips.
• Built to survive real-life use — A bridged joint reinforces the weakest point on most bongs, so one bad bump doesn’t end your favorite piece.
• Dialed-in size for daily use — 11 inches (280mm) gives you good volume and function without turning into a clumsy tower.
• Heady look without going full art-piece — Color fume work and a clean sandblast logo give it that custom vibe without getting too wild to pass around.
• Ready out of the box — Comes with a matching 14mm flower bowl, so you’re not hunting for spare parts before the first sesh.

Best For

This Taurus Bong is made for daily smokers and glass heads who want recycler-level function without a super complex, hard-to-clean piece. If you like your flower rips milky but not harsh, and you want something nice enough to leave out as your main daily driver, this fits the bill. It also suits people who baby their glass but still live in houses where things occasionally get knocked over — that bridged joint is clutch.

How to Use It

Fill the base with enough water to cover the slit puck perc, but not so high that it rushes up the drain tube when you pull. The puck perc is doing the first round of work here, chopping your inhale into a ton of tiny bubbles for smoother, cooler hits.

As you draw, smoke and water travel up into the Taurus incycler section, then drain back down into the base in a loop. That constant circulation gives you extra cooling and diffusion without beating up your flavor. Set it on a solid surface or a soft dab mat so you’re not stressing the base every time you set it down.

For cleaning, let the piece cool off completely, empty the water, then rinse. For deeper cleans, add a bit of isopropyl alcohol, plug the openings, give it a gentle shake, then rinse well with warm water and let it dry before the next use.

The Basics & Build

The Taurus layout is a style of incycler where the uptakes and drain are built into the inner chamber, so water stays moving in a controlled loop as you clear the piece. That means smoother function, less chug, and better control when you clear the chamber. It’s a smart choice if you like recycler function but don’t want multiple exposed arms and tubes waiting to get snapped.

The color fume work on this Monark piece gives you that shifting, layered look that changes under different lighting. Over time, as the glass gets a bit of use, the fume tones usually deepen, so it actually looks better after it’s been part of your rotation for a while. If you’re already building a little lineup of favorites, this sits nicely next to more rugged gear like silicone bongs and rigs as your “nice glass” option.

Specifications

Fit & Compatibility

The Monark Taurus Bong runs a standard 14mm female joint, so it plays nice with most 14mm male bowls, ash catchers, and dry herb attachments. If you like to keep your water pipes spotless, you can add a 14mm male ash catcher or pre-cooler between your bowl and the joint to catch resin before it hits the main chamber. Just keep in mind: extra glass means extra weight on the joint, so that bridged reinforcement is doing real work here, not just looking cool.

Stick to 14mm male accessories and you’re good. If you eventually want to dab on it, you can swap the bowl for a 14mm male banger and run it as a crossover piece, though a dedicated rig plus this as your flower champ is usually the move. For on-the-go or throw-in-a-bag setups, consider backing this up with something from our more rugged smoke shop products so you’re not hauling your nice Monark everywhere.

FAQ

• Q: What size bowl or accessory will fit this bong?

  A: This piece has a 14mm female joint, so any 14mm male bowl, banger, or ash catcher will fit. If you’re upgrading the bowl later, just make sure you’re grabbing 14mm, not 10mm or 18mm.

• Q: Is the 11" size big enough for group seshes?

  A: Yes, 11 inches (280mm) is a sweet spot for passing around — plenty of volume and diffusion without being so tall that it’s awkward to corner on a couch. For bigger circles or party nights, you can always keep a second piece or some backup silicone pipes in the mix.

• Q: How do I clean the incycler section?

  A: Treat it like any quality glass piece: let it cool, dump the old water, then rinse. For deeper cleans, a bit of isopropyl alcohol and a gentle shake will help break down residue in the perc and incycler path. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and let it dry before using again.

• Q: Will the color fume fade or change?

  A: Fume work doesn’t really “fade” under normal use — if anything, it tends to develop more character over time as the piece gets some mileage. Regular cleaning keeps the colors looking sharp instead of muted by residue. If you’re keeping a whole display of glass, pairing this with some clean glass jars and packaging on the shelf makes everything look extra dialed.

• Q: Is this better for flower or concentrates?

  A: Out of the box, it’s set up for flower with the included 14mm bowl. You can absolutely throw a 14mm banger on there for dabs, but most people prefer this as their main flower bong and run a smaller rig for concentrates. If you’re a heavy dabber, look at dedicated rigs or nectar collectors for more dialed-in concentrate sessions.

• Q: Is the bridged joint really that important?

  A: On recycler-style and incycler pieces, the joint area takes a lot of stress, especially if you’re running heavier bowls or attachments. The bridged joint on this Monark reinforces that spot, so a small bump is less likely to turn into a crack or full snap. It’s one of those details you really appreciate the first time your piece survives a clumsy set-down.

• Q: How should I store it when I’m not using it?

  A: Empty the water, give it a quick rinse, and let it dry before putting it away. Storing it upright on a stable surface is best. If you’re keeping it packed away between uses, you can box it up along with your bowls, tools, and other gear in a dedicated storage and packaging setup so you’re not digging through random drawers for pieces.
