The 8” Color Lip Straight is a compact glass bong for people who want clean, no-fuss hits without a giant piece taking over the coffee table. At 8 inches (203mm) tall with a 14mm joint, it’s a perfect daily driver size: enough volume for smooth rips, small enough to stash easily. The colored lip adds just enough style without getting loud about it.

Best for
This 8” Color Lip Straight is made for people who want a straightforward water pipe that just works: no gimmicks, no learning curve, just fill and rip. If your current setup is a giant beaker that never leaves the corner or a tiny pipe that hits too harsh, this lands right in the middle. It also makes a solid backup or guest piece when your more elaborate smoke shop gear is benched.
How to Use It
The basics are simple: add enough water to cover the bottom of the downstem, pop in your favorite 14mm bowl, and you’re set. The straight-tube design gives you a quick, direct pull that clears in one smooth breath without feeling like you’re trying to empty a giant chamber.
Because it’s a straight tube, you don’t need much water to get solid function. That makes it great for quick couch seshes where you don’t want to fuss with water levels or complicated percs. Set it on a nonstick dab mat if you want to keep your table clean from ash and stray herb.
Cleaning is low effort: fewer bends and no internal percs means resin doesn’t have many places to hide. Let it cool, empty the water, then go in with a quick rinse or alcohol soak when it starts to haze up.

Fit & Compatibility
The 8” Color Lip Straight runs a standard 14mm female joint, so it plays well with most 14mm bowls and slides you already own. If you like to swap between a small snap bowl and a deeper party bowl, you can build out a little bowl lineup and keep this as your consistent base piece. Pair it with a compact 14mm bowl and a sturdy case or other bong accessories if you plan to travel or toss it in a backpack.
Care & Cleaning
This piece is designed to be low-maintenance. Let it cool before cleaning, then empty the water and rinse. For deeper cleans, soak in isopropyl alcohol, rinse thoroughly with warm water, and let it dry before using again. A quick wipe-down routine will keep that glass and color lip looking fresh, so you’re not passing around a cloudy tube when friends come by.
FAQ
- Does this bong come with a bowl?
It typically does not include a bowl by default, but the 14mm female joint will fit almost any standard 14mm male slide. If you’re grabbing multiple pieces, you can match it with storage like heavy-bottom concentrate jars for your dabs or accessories on the same order. - Will this be too small for big rips?
Not at all — 8 inches (203mm) is that in-between size where you can still pull a big, milky hit without dealing with a huge, awkward tube. It won’t stack quite as hard as a giant beaker, but for most daily rips it feels just right. - Is an 8" straight tube harsh?
Compared to a tiny hand pipe, it’s significantly smoother thanks to the water filtration and short chamber. If you’re coming from more complex percs, this will feel more direct, but that’s the tradeoff for easier cleaning and simple function. For different styles of smoking on the go, some people pair this with unbreakable options from our silicone pipes collection. - How fragile is it?
It’s still glass, so treat it like you’d treat any other bong: don’t drop it, don’t knock it off the table, and don’t run super hot water through cold glass. The simple straight form actually makes it less finicky than pieces with a bunch of thin percs and arms. - Can I use this with a downstem or ash catcher?
As long as the joint sizing matches (14mm) and the angle lines up, you can add extras like an ash catcher or different downstem style if the design allows. If you go that route, consider keeping a dedicated cleaning routine for any add-ons and store your other glass parts with your storage and packaging gear so they don’t get lost or broken. - What’s the best way to keep the base from getting messy?
Try not to overpack the bowl, and change your water regularly so ash doesn’t build up. A simple habit of dumping the water after you’re done goes a long way. If you’re also into concentrates and want to keep your whole station tidy, check out our parchment papers for lining trays and work surfaces. - Is this good as a first bong?
Yes — this is a great starter piece. It’s easy to understand, not overly tall, and uses the most common joint size in the game. If you’re building your first setup, you can start here and later add a rig or recycler from our silicone bongs & rigs lineup when you’re ready to dive into dabs.
