4.9" Tongue-sticking Bear Water Pipe | Silicone

This bear-shaped silicone water pipe brings playful personality to your piece collection. At just under 5 inches tall, it's sized for portability but designed to turn heads with its bold, cartoonish character. The bear sits with its tongue stretched out in a cheeky expression — part sculpture, part functional smoking device. Perfect for collectors who want conversation starters that actually work.

Why This Piece Works

• Unbreakable silicone body — survives drops, fumbles, and backpack tosses without a crack
• Compact 4.9-inch height — fits in a bag, sits comfortably on small tables, travels without drama
• Water filtration cooling — smooths harsh hits through a simple internal chamber
• Removable bowl piece — pack it, clear it, clean it without wrestling the whole pipe
• Food-grade silicone — FDA-approved material that won't leach or degrade with regular use
• Display-worthy design — this one sits out on the shelf between sessions

Made For

Smokers who want something functional but fun. If you're tired of generic glassware or nervous about shattering another piece, this bear delivers durability without sacrificing character. It's built for daily drivers who need something road-ready, collectors hunting quirky designs, or anyone shopping for a gift that actually gets used. The novelty factor hooks people, but the solid function keeps it in rotation.

How It Works

Fill the bear's internal chamber with enough water to cover the downstream path — usually about an inch. Pack the removable bowl with ground flower, light it, and pull through the mouthpiece. The water cools and filters smoke before it hits your lungs, smoothing out the experience compared to a dry pipe.

The silicone body stays cool to the touch even during back-to-back sessions. No worrying about hot glass or accidental burns when you're passing it around. The flexible material means you can squeeze it slightly to check water levels or dump ash without cracking anything.

When you're done, dump the water, rinse the bowl, and you're reset. For deeper cleaning, soak the bowl in isopropyl alcohol while rinsing the body with warm water. The silicone won't hold onto residue the way glass does, so maintenance stays simple.

Specifications

Why Silicone Matters

This piece uses FDA-approved food-grade silicone — the same material used in kitchen tools and medical devices. It flexes without tearing, resists heat without melting, and survives impacts that would shatter glass. You're not babysitting this one at parties or packing it in bubble wrap for trips.

Silicone also stays neutral in flavor. Unlike certain plastics that can taint smoke with chemical undertones, quality silicone lets the flower speak for itself. The water filtration handles cooling; the material stays out of the way. And because it's non-porous, bacteria and mold don't find easy hiding spots. Rinse it out, and it's clean.

The flexibility has practical perks too. You can collapse the bowl slightly to scrape out stuck ash, or squeeze the body gently to dislodge stubborn water. Try that with glass and you're shopping for replacements.

Fit & Compatibility

The bowl piece is designed to fit snugly into the silicone body but still removes easily for cleaning. Standard grind size works fine — no need for ultra-fine or coarse material. Water capacity is modest, so if you're used to giant rigs with extensive percolation, adjust expectations. This is a personal piece, not a party centerpiece.

It won't work with bangers or nails for concentrates. This is flower territory. If you're looking for silicone rigs that handle dabs, check those out separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this actually survive being dropped?

Yes. Silicone absorbs impact rather than shattering. You'd have to actively try to destroy it. Concrete, tile, hardwood — it bounces back. That said, the bowl piece is removable and might pop out on impact, so you'll be picking it up separately, but nothing breaks.

Does the silicone taste weird or affect flavor?

Not if you rinse it before first use. Food-grade silicone is inert and won't leach flavors. Some people notice a faint silicone smell out of the box, but that disappears after washing. Once it's seasoned with a few sessions, flavor stays clean.

Can I put this in the dishwasher?

Technically yes, but hand-washing is faster and keeps it cleaner. Dishwashers can't always reach every crevice where resin builds up. A quick rinse with warm water and occasional alcohol soak does more than a dishwasher cycle.

How much water do I put in?

Enough to cover the downstream path — usually about an inch. Too much and you're risking splashback; too little and you lose filtration. Start conservative, test a dry pull, adjust as needed.

Is this piece discreet?

Discreet is relative. It's small and portable, but the bear design is eye-catching. If you're looking for something that blends into a desk, this isn't it. If you want something compact that still has personality, it fits the bill. Store it in a smell-proof bag if discretion matters when traveling.

Can I replace the bowl if it gets lost?

Most removable bowls are standard sizes, but silicone pieces sometimes use proprietary fittings. Check with the manufacturer or try a local shop that stocks similar silicone pipes. Worst case, you can often find universal silicone bowl replacements that'll work in a pinch.

How often should I clean it?

Rinse after every session if you want peak performance. Deep clean with isopropyl alcohol once a week or when you notice buildup affecting airflow. Silicone doesn't stain as obviously as glass, so it's easy to let cleaning slide, but flavor suffers when resin accumulates.
