7" Encore Salt Shaker Medium Hammer Bubbler

7" Encore Salt Shaker Medium Hammer Bubbler: Smooth Water Filtration in Your Hand

If you've been hitting dry pipes and wondering why every session ends with a cough, you already know the problem.

Our team tested this alongside similar products before deciding to carry it. It earned its spot in our lineup because it does what it's supposed to do - nothing more, nothing less.

The value here is straightforward: you get water filtration in a handheld package. No bulky setup, no fragile table piece. Just pick it up, fill it, and go. It hits smoother than a dry pipe and takes up less space than a bong. That's the sweet spot most people are looking for.

Why the Encore Salt Shaker Medium Hammer Bubbler Stands Out

Water Filtration in Your Hand - The Encore Salt Shaker Medium Hammer Bubbler runs your smoke through water before it reaches your lips. That means cooler, smoother hits compared to dry pipes (and your throat will notice the difference right away).

Portable Enough for Anywhere - At just 7", this bubbler fits in a bag, sits on a shelf, or travels with you. It's the kind of piece you can take places without worrying about a big production.

Glass Build - We picked this piece because the glass quality is solid for the price. It feels good in your hand and holds up to regular use (which is what we care about most).

Easy to Fill and Use - Add a little water, pack your bowl, and you're ready. No complicated setup, no special accessories needed. If you've used any pipe before, you already know how this works.

How Flower Smokers Uses the Encore Salt Shaker Medium Hammer Bubbler

Solo Evening Session: Fill the chamber with a small amount of water, pack a personal bowl, and settle in. The water filtration takes the edge off so you can take bigger hits without the harshness. It's our go-to recommendation for after-work relaxation.

Weekend with Friends: Pass it around the circle. The compact size makes it easy to hand off, and everyone appreciates the smoother hits compared to a dry pipe. Just remind people to clear their hit (ash can clog the downstem if it pulls through).

Travel Companion: Toss it in your bag when you're heading somewhere. It's small enough to be discreet but functional enough to deliver a real session, not just a quick puff.

Pro Tip: Don't overfill the water. You want just enough to cover the downstem opening. Too much and you'll get splashback (nobody likes bong water in their mouth). Start with less than you think you need and add from there.

Who Should Pick Up the Encore Salt Shaker Medium Hammer Bubbler

Daily Smokers: If flower is your thing and you use it regularly, a bubbler gives you the smoothness of water filtration without the ceremony of setting up a full bong. It's the practical middle ground.

Travelers: Need something portable that still hits well? Bubblers fit in bags, don't need much water, and deliver better hits than a dry pipe. They're our top recommendation for on-the-go smokers.

New Smokers: If you're just getting started, a bubbler is a great first water piece. It's less intimidating than a bong, easier to use, and teaches you the basics of water filtration.

Common Questions About the Encore Salt Shaker Medium Hammer Bubbler

What size is the Encore Salt Shaker Medium Hammer Bubbler?

The Encore Salt Shaker Medium Hammer Bubbler measures 7" tall. This size puts it in the sweet spot between portability and function. It is large enough to hold adequate water for proper filtration but compact enough to fit in a bag or sit comfortably in your hand during a session.

What material is the Encore Salt Shaker Medium Hammer Bubbler made from?

The Encore Salt Shaker Medium Hammer Bubbler is made from glass. This material provides clean flavor transfer and decent durability for everyday use. We selected this piece because the glass quality is solid for the price point, giving you a reliable daily driver without the premium price tag.

How do you clean the Encore Salt Shaker Medium Hammer Bubbler?

The Encore Salt Shaker Medium Hammer Bubbler cleans with standard isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt. Pour both inside, plug the openings with your fingers or paper towels, shake for about 30 seconds, then rinse with warm water. We recommend cleaning every few sessions to keep the flavor fresh and the airflow clear.

Does the Encore Salt Shaker Medium Hammer Bubbler come with a bowl?

The Encore Salt Shaker Medium Hammer Bubbler has a built-in bowl as part of its design. Unlike bongs that use removable slide bowls, most bubblers have the bowl integrated into the piece. This means fewer parts to lose or break and a simpler overall design that is ready to use right out of the box.

Can you use the Encore Salt Shaker Medium Hammer Bubbler for concentrates?

The Encore Salt Shaker Medium Hammer Bubbler is designed for dry herb (flower), not concentrates. Bubblers work best with ground herb packed into the bowl. If you want to dab concentrates, we recommend checking out our dab rig collection instead, as those pieces are specifically designed for concentrate vaporization.

How much water should you put in the Encore Salt Shaker Medium Hammer Bubbler?

Add just enough water to cover the bottom of the downstem opening. For this bubbler, that is usually about half an inch to one inch of water. Too much water causes splashback, and too little defeats the purpose of water filtration. Start with less and add small amounts until you find the right level.

Is the Encore Salt Shaker Medium Hammer Bubbler good for travel?

The Encore Salt Shaker Medium Hammer Bubbler is a reasonable travel piece thanks to its compact size. We recommend wrapping it in a soft cloth or carrying case when transporting. Keep in mind that glass can break if dropped on a hard surface, so padding is important. Empty and dry it before packing for best results.

How to Clean and Maintain the Encore Salt Shaker Medium Hammer Bubbler

Keeping your piece clean is the single best thing you can do for flavor and longevity. Here's our recommended routine:

After Each Session: Rinse with warm water to prevent resin from hardening. A quick 10-second rinse makes deep cleaning much easier later (and it only takes a moment).

Weekly Deep Clean: Fill with 91% isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt. Plug the openings and shake for 30-60 seconds. Let it soak for 15-30 minutes if there's heavy buildup. Rinse thoroughly with warm water.

Drying: Let it air dry completely before your next session. A dry piece hits cleaner and doesn't develop that stale water taste.

Warning: Never use boiling water on glass - the thermal shock can cause cracking. Warm water is fine, but keep it under 150 degrees Fahrenheit. Also avoid using abrasive cleaning tools that could scratch the interior surface of your piece.
