It gets set on a low table, used through an evening, and refilled a couple of times.

It also lowers the center of gravity, which makes tipping less likely. It does not protect the neck or the joint, so those still need the same careful handling any glass pipe needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size joint do the bowls need to be?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou need 14mm bowls for this piece. It is the size we stock most heavily, which means spares, colored bowls, and screened bowls are all easy to source. Confirm male or female fit on the listing before ordering, because both exist in that size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow tall does it stand?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe piece measures 14\" from base to mouthpiece. That is roughly the height of a tall table lamp base, so it stores upright in most cabinets. If you plan to keep it in a bag or a case, measure the interior height before you buy the case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the artwork made of?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe animal graphic is applied to the outside of the borosilicate glass rather than being worked into the color. Keep abrasives off the exterior and the design will stay crisp. All the salt and alcohol cleaning belongs on the inside of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes anything come with it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur free bowl promotion applies here, so a bowl ships alongside the water pipe. Beyond that, what you see is what arrives. We do not list a downstem as included on this one, so ask us before assuming a spare stem will match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it in stock?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this beaker is in stock and there is a single configuration, so there is nothing to select before checkout. If the page ever shows it as unavailable, that is accurate rather than a display error, and we will not backorder glass we do not have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does borosilicate matter for a bong?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorosilicate glass tolerates heat and temperature change better than standard soft glass. In practice that means it survives repeated cleaning with hot water and it is less likely to crack from the heat of a burning bowl seated in the joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCare and Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRinse after every session, deep clean every week or two depending on how hard you run it. The routine that works: pour out the water, add coarse salt and isopropyl, seal the openings, rock it gently, then flush with warm water until the smell is gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResin that dries hard is much worse than resin caught early. Ten seconds of rinsing at the end of a session saves twenty minutes later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Do not put glass in the freezer to firm up resin, and never follow hot water with cold. A thick base and thin walls expand at different rates, so a sudden temperature change puts real stress along that seam. Warm water, gradual changes, and the piece will outlive the artwork on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRelated Collections\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bongs-water-pipes\"\u003eBongs \u0026amp; Water Pipes\u003c\/a\u003e - other beakers and tubes on the shelf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/flower-bowls\"\u003eFlower Bowls\u003c\/a\u003e - 14mm spares\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cleaning-supplies\"\u003eCleaning Supplies\u003c\/a\u003e - salt, alcohol, plugs, brushes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/flower-accessories\"\u003eFlower Accessories\u003c\/a\u003e - screens, mats, and small parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"What You Need","offers":[{"title":"Black\/Gold","offer_id":52415297257752,"sku":"NR-1","price":94.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grey\/Yellow","offer_id":52633973817624,"sku":"NR-1-GREY","price":94.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Orange","offer_id":52633973850392,"sku":"NR-1-ORAN","price":94.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1171\/9050\/files\/NR-1-dark-hero.png?v=1784396945","url":"https:\/\/oilslickpad.com\/products\/14-wormhole-animal-graphic-thick-base-beaker","provider":"Oil Slick","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
