8″ Encore 7mm Color Lip/Base Beaker

The 8″ ENCORE 7MM COLOR LIP/BASE BEAKER is a compact, heavy-wall glass bong built for smokers who want a tough daily driver that still looks clean on the table. At just 8 inches (203mm) tall with a thick 7mm body, it feels sturdy in the hand and shrugs off the little bumps that would scare you with thinner glass. Color accents on the lip and base give it that subtle pop without turning your setup into a light show.

Why You’ll Actually Use This Every Day

• Smoother, cooler pulls — Classic beaker base holds more water, so your hits have more time to cool before they reach your lungs.
• Built to be knocked around — 7mm glass walls make this feel solid, not fragile, when you pass it around the room.
• Stays put on the table — Wide beaker footprint gives you way more stability than skinny straight tubes when someone bumps the coffee table.
• Ready to pack out of the box — 14mm joint comes with a matching flower bowl, so you’re not hunting for spare parts to take the first rip.
• Low-profile but not boring — Color lip and base give it just enough personality without clashing with the rest of your glass.
• Easy to clear and clean — Simple, straight-neck beaker design means no weird percs or chambers trapping resin.

Best For

This beaker is made for smokers who want one solid piece that can live on the table and handle regular use without babying it. If you like simple function over gimmicky percs, this is a great daily driver that you can park on a dab pad or mat to catch drips and ash. It’s also a nice pick for people who want thick glass but don’t have space for a huge 18" tower.

How to Use It

Fill the beaker base with enough water to cover the bottom of your downstem, then add your favorite flower to the included 14mm bowl. The beaker shape gives you a roomy base so you can dial in water level without splashing up the neck, which is especially nice if you like to clear the whole chamber in one breath. The color lip doubles as a visual target and gives your mouth a bit of grip when you’re leaning in for a big pull.

Because this is a straightforward tube without extra percs or recyclers, it’s a good match for anyone who prefers a classic bong feel and easy airflow. Pair it with sturdy accessories like ash catchers or screens if you want to keep the base cleaner longer and cut down on how often you have to deep-clean the piece.

Cleaning & Care

Let the piece cool down, then empty the water and dump any ash. For quick touch-ups, rinse with warm water and wipe off exterior residue. For deeper cleans, soak with isopropyl alcohol, rinse thoroughly with warm water, and let it dry completely before using again. Keeping up with regular rinses will stop that stained-glass look from building up inside the beaker.

Specifications

Fit & Compatibility

The 8″ ENCORE beaker uses a standard 14mm joint, so it plays nice with most 14mm flower bowls, ash catchers, and similar attachments you already own. If you’re building out a matching setup, it also pairs well with heavy-bottom concentrate jars or stash jars on the same shelf so everything looks intentional instead of random.

FAQ

• Does this bong come with everything I need to start?
  Yes. The 8" ENCORE beaker includes the bong itself and a 14mm flower bowl, so you’re ready to pack it right away. If you want extras like an ash catcher or different bowl styles, those would be add-ons.
• How thick is 7mm glass in real-world use?
  7mm is significantly thicker than a lot of budget glass, so the piece feels heavier and more solid when you grab it. It doesn’t make it indestructible, but it’s way more forgiving to everyday bumps than thin-wall bongs.
• Is 8 inches big enough for solid hits?
  Definitely. At 8 inches (203mm), you get a surprisingly roomy chamber because of the beaker base, so there’s plenty of volume for milky pulls without needing a giant tower. It’s a nice size if you want something that hits well but still tucks easily on a shelf with your other storage and packaging gear.
• Can I use this for concentrates with a banger?
  You can swap the included flower bowl for a 14mm banger or nail if you want to run dabs through it. Just remember it’s designed as a bong first, so if you’re mainly into concentrates, you might eventually want to add a smaller piece from our silicone bongs & rigs lineup for more dedicated dab duty.
• Will the color lip and base fade or peel?
  No peeling here—these are colored glass accents, not stickers or paint on the outside. Just avoid banging the piece around or using harsh abrasives when you wipe it down, and the color will stay looking sharp.
• How do I keep it from getting super dirty in the base?
  Change your water regularly, especially if you’re running it as a daily driver. You can also use an ash catcher or screens in your bowl to reduce how much debris lands in the beaker. Storing your flower in clean glass jars instead of plastic helps keep the taste fresher too.
• Is this a good choice for a first “real” bong?
  Yes. The size is manageable, the design is simple, and the 7mm glass gives you that upgrade feeling over cheap thin pieces without being overkill. If you ever want something more portable, you can always add a tougher travel piece from our broader smoke shop products collection later, but this is a solid starting (and staying) piece.
