Balloon animal glass is a niche heady style — the glassblower forms the rig to mimic the twists of a real balloon animal sculpture. We've found these pieces tend to be conversation-starters first and functional rigs second, but the 7" size on this one keeps it usable for actual dabs. The iridescent finish adds a color-shift element that catches different tones depending on the angle.
Includes a FREE quartz banger
Every dab rig at Oil Slick Pad ships with a free 14mm quartz banger so you can take your first dab the day it arrives. No add-to-cart needed.
Key Features
- Balloon animal form: Hand-pulled to mimic the twists and curves of a balloon animal sculpture. Each piece is unique.
- Iridescent finish: Color treatment that shifts between hues depending on light angle. Subtle in daylight, vivid under direct light.
- 7-inch compact size: Small enough for travel or a tight workspace. Pairs well with a desktop setup.
- 14mm female joint: Standard sizing. Matches the included banger and any 14mm male carb cap.
- Borosilicate construction: Despite the sculptural form, the glass thickness is full borosilicate — built to take heat.
- Functional rig: Not a display-only piece. The chamber holds water and the percolation works.
- One off: Each balloon animal piece is twisted by hand. The exact form, curl direction, and iridescent depth on yours is unique to this listing.
Who It's For
Collectors of novelty heady glass. Daily smokers who want a piece with character but still functions for actual dabs. Also a strong gift for anyone who appreciates art glass.
Worth Noting: The sculptural form means water capacity is smaller than a standard 7" tube rig. Start with less water and dial in from there — overfilling can pull water up into the mouthpiece curve.

This is a 7-inch borosilicate dab rig hand-pulled in a balloon animal sculptural form with an iridescent color finish and a 14mm female joint. It functions as a working rig — chamber holds water, percolation works, banger included.
Care & Maintenance
Drain water after each session. The sculptural form has more curves than a standard rig, which means residue can hide in the twists. For deep cleans, fill with isopropyl alcohol and salt, plug the openings, and rock gently rather than shaking hard — that way you don't put stress on the curves.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this rig actually usable or just for display?
Usable. The chamber holds water, the percolation works, and the banger sits properly. It's smaller than a standard rig, so dabs feel a bit more concentrated. Most owners use these for daily smaller dabs.
Will the iridescence fade?
No. The iridescent finish is a glass treatment fused during forming. It's part of the glass surface, not a coating that can wear off.
How fragile is the sculptural form?
More fragile than a standard tube rig. The twists create thinner sections where bumps can crack the glass. Handle with care, store with padding, and don't transport it loose in a backpack.
Can I use any banger with it?
Yes — any 14mm male banger fits the joint. The included quartz banger is matched to size. Stick with a standard banger to keep weight balanced; oversized accessories can tip the small frame.
