8″ WIDE BASE BLACK BEAKER

The 8" Wide Base Black Beaker is a compact glass bong built for people who want smooth, reliable rips without babysitting a wobbly piece. At 8 inches (203mm) tall, it hits like a true beaker while still staying easy to stash, pass, and clean. The wide, heavy base keeps it planted so you can focus on the bowl, not on whether your water pipe is about to take a dive.

Why You'll Actually Use This Every Day

• Way less tip-overs — the wide beaker base gives you a low center of gravity, so accidental elbow taps are less of a heart attack moment.
• Daily-driver size — 8 inches (203mm) is big enough for satisfying hits but small enough that it doesn't dominate your coffee table.
• Clean, easy pulls — the 14mm joint size keeps the airflow snappy, so you're not fighting for a hit.
• Sleek black glass — looks sharp on the shelf and hides light residue better between deep cleans.
• Simple design, fewer weak points — classic beaker shape without a bunch of fragile add-ons means less to break.
• Travel-friendly at-home piece — short profile makes it easier to tuck away when you don't want your whole life on display.

Best For

This beaker is made for people who want a solid, no-drama daily bong: folks who sesh on the couch, pass around the table, or keep a piece parked next to their grinder. It's especially nice if you've knocked over tall tubes before and decided you're done with that headache. If you like to keep your table clean and organized, it pairs perfectly with a dedicated dab mat or bong pad under the base to catch drips and ash.

How to Use It

Think of this as the “grab-and-go” of glass bongs. Fill the beaker base with enough water to cover the bottom of the downstem area (or where the smoke will diffuse), pack your 14mm bowl, and you're off. The short neck and beaker volume work together to cool the smoke without needing a stack of percs or extra chambers.

Because the piece is only 8 inches (203mm) tall, it's easy to support with one hand while you handle the bowl with the other. The wide base keeps everything feeling anchored when you set it down between bowls or while you're passing it around.

When it's time to clean, just empty the water, add a bit of isopropyl alcohol and (optionally) some coarse salt, shake gently, then rinse well with warm water and let it dry before your next sesh. If you like to keep the rest of your setup tidy too, matching this with simple storage from our storage and packaging lineup helps keep lighters, papers, and extras from wandering off.

Specifications

Fit & Compatibility

The 8" Wide Base Black Beaker uses a standard 14mm female joint, so it plays nicely with most 14mm male flower bowls, ash catchers, and simple adapters. If you already own a few 14mm pieces, odds are they'll drop right in here without any drama.

It's tuned as a flower bong first and foremost, but if you like to cross over into dabs sometimes, you can swap the bowl for a 14mm banger and treat it as a compact rig. For protecting those concentrates or flower between sessions, it's worth pairing your setup with dedicated concentrate jars and stash containers so you're not leaving everything open on the table.

The Basics of a Wide-Base Beaker

Beaker-style bongs are popular because they give you extra water volume and a bit more cooling room than straight tubes, while still being straightforward to use and clean. The "wide base" part just means you get more stability and a lower chance of tipping than slimmer beakers and tall straight tubes.

The smaller overall height also makes this piece easier to store in cabinets, on shelves, or in a padded case if you travel with your glass. If you prefer something you don't have to baby quite as much on the road, you can always run this as your at-home glass and grab from our lineup of unbreakable silicone bongs and rigs for camping, festivals, or beach days.

FAQ

• Will this fit my existing 14mm accessories?
  Yes. Any standard 14mm male accessory (flower bowl, dry catcher, basic banger, etc.) should fit the 14mm female joint on this beaker. If you're already running 14mm gear on another piece, it'll likely swap over just fine.
• Is 8 inches too small for good hits?
  No. 8 inches (203mm) is a sweet spot for a daily-driver beaker: enough room for proper water filtration and cooling, but short enough that the airflow stays tight and the piece is easy to clear. You're not getting "tiny travel pipe" performance—this still rips.
• Does it come with a bowl?
  The product is designed around a 14mm flower bowl, and it's meant to be used with that size. If you like to keep separate bowls for different strains or just want backups, it's smart to snag extras when you're picking up other smoke shop accessories.
• Can I use this for concentrates?
  You can, as long as you swap the included flower bowl for a 14mm banger or nail. Just remember this is built like a classic bong, not a micro rig, so it'll feel more like "dab rig lite" than a tiny terp chaser. Pair it with the right nail and a good cap from our selection of carb caps for better vapor control.
• How do I keep it from getting dirty so fast?
  Changing the water regularly and giving it a quick rinse after sessions helps a lot. When it needs a deeper clean, let it cool down, then use isopropyl alcohol, rinse thoroughly, and let dry before using again. Keeping your flower or dabs in sealed containers from our glass jars and packaging collection can also cut down on loose crumbs and sticky mess around the piece.
• Is the black glass see-through?
  The finish is darker than clear glass, so it hides light buildup better, but you may not see every detail of the water level as clearly as a totally clear tube. A quick tilt-and-check before lighting up will tell you if you're in the right range.
• Is this sturdy enough for clumsy friends?
  It's still glass, so it's not indestructible, but the wide base definitely helps prevent a lot of the usual "someone bumped the table" mishaps. If your crew is truly accident-prone, consider keeping a backup piece from our silicone pipes line around for more chaotic nights.
