8" Encore 7mm Color Lip/Base Beaker

The 8" Encore 7mm Color Lip/Base Beaker is a 8"-tall borosilicate water pipe built for daily flower sessions. Here's the quick read:

  • Height: 8"
  • Material: borosilicate glass
  • Thickness: 7mm tube wall where specified — heavier than budget glass
  • Joint: 7mm female, standard US fitting
  • Water capacity: approx. 4-6 oz depending on base
  • Shipping: double-boxed, 1-2 business days from Michigan

Free glass bowl included. Every bong we ship includes a matching flower bowl so you can pack and light on day one.

This is a proper daily-driver bong. We picked it up because it hits the right balance between heft and pourability — tall enough to cool the smoke properly, but not so massive it becomes a commitment to set up. The base is weighted so it stays put on a coffee table, and the joint accepts any standard bowl you already own.

Key Features

  • 7mm thick walls (where specified): this is the benchmark for "heavy-wall" glass — noticeably more solid in hand than the typical 3-5mm tubes.
  • Beaker or straight base: the flared beaker shape holds more water and is harder to tip; straight tubes are lighter and easier to clear.
  • Color accent: lip, foot, or full-body color that's fused into the glass, not applied on top.
  • Standard 7mm joint: works with any bowl, ash catcher, or downstem from our catalog.
  • Fixed or removable downstem: depends on the model — check the photos for the stem style.
  • Ice pinch or slitted perc (model-dependent): adds cooling beyond basic water filtration.

Who It's For

A 7mm thick bong is where flower enthusiasts settle in for the long haul. If your current piece is a thin mystery-glass tube from a gas station, this is a real upgrade. We'd also recommend it to anyone hosting — it's sturdy enough to pass around without everyone holding their breath.

Worth Noting: Thick-wall glass doesn't mean indestructible. Dropping any bong onto a hard floor still ends badly. A bong mat under it on hardwood or tile will pay for itself.

Care and Maintenance

Change water after each session. Once a week, drain fully, fill with 91% iso plus a tablespoon of kosher salt, plug the mouthpiece and joint with your thumbs, shake for about a minute, rinse with hot water, repeat if needed. Skip the dish soap — residue takes forever to rinse out. For resin rings on thick glass, extend the iso soak to an hour before shaking.

FAQ

How full should I fill the water?

Enough to cover the downstem slits by one inch. Below that, you lose percolation; above it, you'll get water pulled up into your mouth. If unsure, fill less and take a dry test pull to check draw.

Will my existing bowl fit?

If your bowl is 7mm male (the most common US size), yes. 18mm bowls won't fit. Check the flared base of your bowl — most US bowls are 14mm.

Does the free bowl come with a screen?

The included bowl is a standard flower bowl with a natural choke point. We recommend adding a glass screen or small metal screen to prevent pull-through — they're a dollar or two in our flower bowls collection.
