Made For

This piece is for smokers who want personality in their glassware. If you're tired of the same clear tubes and want something that actually reflects your style, the Banana Water Pipe delivers. It's also solid for people who like to rotate their pieces — light enough to move around but built to last. Collectors who appreciate novelty designs will want this one on display, and anyone who hosts sessions will love how it kicks off conversations before the first hit.

How to Use It

Fill the base with enough water to cover the downstem — about an inch above the bottom of the stem works. Pack the bowl with your flower, light up, and pull slowly to get the water bubbling. The filtration cools the smoke and smooths out the draw, so you're not coughing through every hit. After your session, dump the water and give the glass a quick rinse. The removable bowl makes cleaning easier — just pop it out and soak it in isopropyl alcohol when residue builds up.

For deeper cleans, fill the chamber with iso and coarse salt, cover the openings, and shake. The salt scrubs the glass while the alcohol dissolves the buildup. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and let it dry before your next use. Regular water changes keep the taste clean — stale bong water ruins good flower.

What Makes This One Different

Most water pipes play it safe with basic shapes and neutral colors. The Banana Water Pipe goes the other direction — bright yellow PVC character work wraps around borosilicate glass tubing, creating something that's part smoking device, part desk sculpture. The PVC isn't just for looks, though. It adds grip where you need it and protects the glass from minor bumps. The character detailing is sharp, with molded features that hold up to handling and cleaning.

The glass itself is lab-grade borosilicate, the same material used in scientific glassware. It resists thermal shock, so you're not dealing with cracks from temperature changes. The combo of glass and PVC keeps the weight down while maintaining durability — you get the clean taste of glass without the anxiety of carrying around a fragile piece.

Design and Build Quality

At 8.9 inches tall, this pipe sits in the sweet spot for home use. It's tall enough to cool the smoke properly but short enough that it doesn't dominate your space or tip over easily. The base measures 5.4 inches wide, giving it a stable footprint even when the water's sloshing around. The yellow PVC character wraps around the tube in a way that adds structural support while keeping the design playful.

The removable bowl fits securely without being difficult to pull out. It's sized for standard flower packing — enough for a solid personal session or a few rotations with friends. The downstem extends into the water chamber at the right depth for consistent filtration without excessive drag. Everything feels deliberate, from the thickness of the glass to the placement of the character elements.

Specifications

Compatibility and Care

This piece works best with dry herb — the water filtration is optimized for cooling flower smoke. It's not designed for concentrates or oil, so stick to what it's built for and you'll get the best performance. The removable bowl means you can swap in different sizes if you want to customize your sessions, but the stock bowl handles most needs.

Keep the water fresh for the best taste. Stale water adds funk that cuts through even the best flower. After each use, dump the water and rinse the chamber with warm water. For weekly deep cleans, use isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt to scrub away buildup. The PVC elements can handle standard cleaning methods, but avoid harsh chemicals that might damage the finish or color. Store the pipe upright in a spot where it won't get knocked over — the design is sturdy, but it's still glass at the core.

FAQ

Will this fit in my hand comfortably?

At 8.9 inches tall and 307 grams, it's light enough to hold with one hand but stable enough that it won't slip around. The PVC character elements add grip points that make handling easier than smooth glass tubes.

Is the character design going to wear off over time?

The PVC is molded, not painted, so the design is part of the material itself. Regular use and cleaning won't fade or chip the details. Just avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the PVC finish.

How much water should I put in this?

Fill until the water covers the downstem by about an inch. Too much water and you'll get splashback, too little and the filtration won't work properly. Test it with a dry pull before packing the bowl.

Can I replace the bowl if it breaks?

The bowl is removable and uses a standard joint, so replacements are easy to find. Check the joint size before ordering a new one to make sure it fits properly.

Is this thing durable enough for daily use?

The borosilicate glass is built for regular use, and the PVC adds protection from minor bumps. It's not indestructible, but it's tougher than standard glass pieces. Just don't drop it on tile or concrete.

How hard is it to clean compared to a regular bong?

The removable bowl makes it easier than most. Pop the bowl out for separate cleaning, then use iso and salt in the main chamber. The PVC doesn't trap residue like some textured glass does, so cleaning is straightforward.

Does the PVC affect the taste?

No. The smoke only touches the glass and water — the PVC is external. You get clean glass taste with added durability and style from the character design.
