7.5″ Color Frit w/ Critter & Mushroom Implosion Glass Bubbler
$ 54.99
The 7.5" Color Frit Sherlock Bubbler is a compact glass water pipe built for flower smokers who want smooth hits without committing to a full bong setup. Hand-decorated with color frit, a sculpted critter, and a mushroom implosion marble, each piece brings a little personality to your rotation. At 7.5 inches, it's small enough to stash but big enough to deliver water-cooled hits that won't torch your throat.
Key Benefits
- Water filtration in a portable package — 7.5 inches means you get cooler, smoother hits than a dry pipe without the bulk of a full rig
- Ergonomic Sherlock curve — the bent neck keeps water away from your mouth and puts the bowl at a comfortable angle
- Hand-decorated with personality — color frit accents, a sculpted critter, and mushroom implosion marble make each piece visually unique
- Flower-focused design — built for herb, not concentrates, with a bowl size that packs enough for a couple rounds
- Multiple color options — each bubbler varies in color scheme, so you can pick one that fits your vibe
Best For
This bubbler is made for flower smokers who want the filtration of a bong without the footprint. Perfect for daily sessions at home, sharing a bowl with a friend, or keeping a water piece within reach that doesn't dominate your coffee table. If you're tired of harsh dry pipe hits but don't want to haul out a full bong every time, this is your middle ground.
How to Use It
Fill the base with enough water to cover the downstem — usually about an inch above the stem opening. Too much and you'll get splashback, too little and you lose the cooling effect. Pack your bowl, cover the carb (usually on the side of the piece), light up, and pull gently. Release the carb to clear the chamber.
The Sherlock curve keeps the mouthpiece elevated, so water stays put even if you pull hard. After your session, dump the water and rinse the piece. Let it air dry before storing to avoid buildup. For deeper cleans, soak in isopropyl alcohol, shake with coarse salt, rinse thoroughly, and dry before reuse.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this for concentrates or just flower?
This bubbler is designed for flower. The bowl and airflow are optimized for herb, not dabs. If you're looking for concentrate-friendly gear, check out dab rigs or nectar collectors instead.
How much water should I add?
Fill the base so the downstem is submerged by about an inch. You want enough water to cool the smoke without causing splashback when you pull. Test it with a dry hit first — if you taste water, dump a little out.
What's the difference between this and a regular hand pipe?
Water filtration. A hand pipe delivers dry smoke, which can be harsher on your throat. The bubbler runs smoke through water first, cooling it down and filtering out some of the particulates. The tradeoff is you need to clean it more often and carry water.
Is the critter and mushroom design the same on every piece?
No. Each bubbler is hand-decorated, so the color frit pattern, critter sculpt, and mushroom implosion will vary slightly from piece to piece. The overall design theme stays consistent, but no two are identical. If you're ordering online, expect variation in color placement and details.
How often do I need to clean it?
Ideally after every few sessions, or at least once a week if you're using it daily. Resin builds up fast in the base and downstem, and stale water tastes awful. A quick rinse after each use and a deeper clean once a week keeps it functional and pleasant to hit.
Will this fit in a standard bag or backpack?
At 7.5 inches, it'll fit in most backpacks, but the Sherlock curve makes it a bit bulkier than a straight pipe. Wrap it in a towel or padded case if you're traveling with it — glass doesn't forgive drops.
Can I replace the bowl if it breaks?
That depends on the joint size and stem design. Most bubblers have integrated bowls or proprietary fittings that aren't standardized like bong downstems. If the bowl breaks, you're usually better off replacing the whole piece unless you can find a glassblower who does custom repairs.
