8″ ENCORE DECAL THICK BEAKER

The 8″ Encore Decal Thick Beaker is a compact, heavy-wall glass bong built for people who want a true daily driver that can actually take some knocks. At 8 inches (203mm) tall with stout 7mm glass, it hits like a full-size beaker but still tucks neatly on a desk or side table. If you like cold, clean rips without babying your glass, this little tank is the move.

Why You’ll Actually Use This Every Day

• Cooler, smoother pulls — Built-in ice pinch lets you stack cubes in the neck so the smoke cools down before it hits your lungs.
• Feels solid in your hands — 7mm thick glass gives it real weight and durability, so small bumps are less likely to ruin your night.
• Great flavor, no overkill — 14mm flower bowl is ideal for personal snaps or passing to a couple friends without wasting flower.
• Stable beaker base — Wide base design helps prevent accidental tip-overs when the coffee table gets crowded.
• Clean, simple function — Classic beaker chamber with downstem diffusion gives you that tried-and-true chug without any gimmicks.
• Looks like you care — Encore decal logo gives it a little personality without screaming for attention.

Best For

This piece is made for people who want one reliable bong that does almost everything: quick solo bowls before work, end-of-day cool-downs, and casual hangs with a couple homies. If you’re upgrading from a cheap gas station special and want something thicker but not huge, this 8" beaker hits that sweet spot. It also pairs well with unbreakable gear like our silicone pipes if you want a full setup that can survive a clumsy friend group.

How to Use It

Start by adding water into the beaker base until the end of the downstem is comfortably submerged but not splashing up toward the neck. That’s where the diffusion happens and where you get the smoothness this style is known for.

Pack the 14mm bowl with your flower, set your lips to the mouthpiece, and pull as the chamber fills. When you want to cool things down more, drop a few ice cubes into the neck so they rest on the ice pinch — it makes a noticeable difference on those bigger rips. Setting the beaker on a nonstick dab mat or tray between hits will help catch ash, water drips, and keep your table from getting gross.

For maintenance, let the glass cool off, dump the water, and rinse. When it starts to get cloudy, soak with isopropyl alcohol, rinse thoroughly with warm water, and let it dry before your next sesh.

Fit & Compatibility

The 8″ Encore Decal Thick Beaker uses a standard 14mm female joint, so it plays nice with most common 14mm bowls, ash catchers, and basic accessories. If you like to swap between bowls or keep a clean one ready, it’s easy to build out a small kit and store it all together with your other gear in our general smoke shop products section.

FAQ

• Does this bong come ready to use out of the box?
  Yes. It includes a 14mm flower bowl, so all you need is water and your favorite herb. Just give it a quick rinse before first use and you’re good.
• Can I use this with different 14mm bowls or attachments?
  Definitely. The 14mm female joint will work with most 14mm male bowls, ash catchers, and other add-ons sized for bongs. If you’re storing extra glass or swapping bowls often, keeping them in sturdy glass jars & packaging nearby helps avoid chips and accidents.
• Is 8 inches too small for serious hits?
  Not at all. The beaker base gives plenty of volume for chuggy pulls, and the 7mm glass plus ice pinch let you take surprisingly big rips for its size. It’s more of a compact daily driver than a “tiny” piece.
• How should I clean and care for it?
  Let it cool, dump the water, and wipe or rinse out loose residue. For deeper cleans, soak with isopropyl alcohol, then rinse thoroughly and dry before using again. If you’re already keeping cleaning supplies around for other tools like dab tools, you’re set for this beaker too.
• Will the thick 7mm glass make it really heavy?
  It has some weight to it, but in a good way — it feels solid without being annoying to pick up or pass. The thicker walls are there to help it survive everyday bumps and to give it that quality feel when you grab it.
• Is this more of a solo piece or good for groups?
  It works great as a personal bong but still shines in small group seshes. The 14mm bowl is big enough to pass around a few times without constantly repacking. If you’re hosting more people regularly, you can always keep your extra flower or pre-ground stash organized in proper storage & packaging so refills are easy.
• Can I travel with this bong?
  It’s compact enough to pack in a padded case or backpack, but it’s still glass, so treat it with some care. If you like to have a backup piece that’s truly worry-free for trips, you might also want something from our silicone bongs & rigs lineup for on-the-go use.
