Small 9 Holes Glass Bowl

The Small 9 Holes Glass Bowl is a compact slide designed for flower smokers who want reliable performance without unnecessary bulk. At 14mm, it fits most standard water pipes and bubblers, making it a practical replacement piece or backup bowl for daily sessions. Lightweight at 5 grams and built from borosilicate glass, this bowl handles heat without warping and cleans up easily when residue builds up.

Key Benefits

• Fits most setups — 14mm male joint plays nice with standard female downstems on bubblers and water pipes
• Nine-hole airflow design keeps draws smooth without letting material pull through
• Borosilicate construction means it won't crack from regular heat cycling
• Compact size makes it easy to handle and store without taking up space
• Easy to clean — smooth glass surface lets you scrape or soak residue without fighting buildup

How to Use It

Pack your bowl loosely, leaving a bit of airflow space near the holes. The nine-hole design gives you even heat distribution across the material without restricting your draw. When you're ready, light the edge and let the ember spread naturally. The holes are sized to catch ash without letting fine material slip through into your pipe's chamber.

After your session, let it cool before handling. For regular maintenance, wipe out ash and residue with a paper towel or poker tool. When deeper cleaning is needed, soak in isopropyl alcohol for 20-30 minutes, rinse with warm water, and dry before reuse. The borosilicate glass won't degrade from repeated cleaning cycles.

Best For

This bowl works for anyone who needs a straightforward slide that fits standard 14mm joints. It's practical for daily smokers who want a backup piece, renters who can't risk breaking expensive glass, or anyone setting up a simple flower-smoking station without overcomplicating things. The compact design also makes it a good travel option when you're bringing gear to a friend's place.

Specifications

Material & Construction

Borosilicate glass is lab-grade material used in scientific equipment because it handles thermal shock without cracking. That same durability translates to smoking gear — you can heat this bowl repeatedly without worrying about stress fractures from temperature changes. The smooth glass surface doesn't absorb flavors or residue the way some materials do, so each session tastes clean.

The nine-hole pattern is molded into the bowl during manufacturing, creating consistent airflow without weak points. Unlike drilled holes that can chip or crack over time, these are integral to the glass structure. At 5 grams, it's light enough to handle easily but substantial enough that it doesn't feel fragile when you're packing or cleaning.

Fit & Compatibility

This bowl fits standard 14mm female joints, which are common on most bubblers, smaller bongs, and hand pipes with removable slides. Check your piece before ordering — 14mm is smaller than 18mm joints found on larger rigs. The male joint slides directly into the downstem without needing adapters or additional hardware.

The nine-hole design works best with medium-grind flower. Too fine and you'll pull material through; too coarse and you won't get even airflow. If you're using a grinder, aim for a consistency that's fluffy but not powdery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my 18mm bong?

No, this is a 14mm male joint. If your bong has an 18mm female joint, you'll need an 18mm bowl or a glass adapter to make it fit. Measure your downstem opening before ordering.

How much flower does this bowl hold?

It's a small bowl, so expect to pack 0.2-0.3 grams comfortably. Not built for group sessions — more for personal use or quick solo bowls.

Do the nine holes let material fall through?

Not with a medium grind. The holes are sized to catch ash and keep flower in place while letting smoke pass through. If you're pulling material through, grind a bit coarser.

Can I clean this with alcohol?

Yes. Soak in isopropyl alcohol, rinse with warm water, and dry before reuse. Borosilicate glass handles alcohol without degrading.

Is this durable enough for daily use?

For careful handling, yes. It's borosilicate, so it won't crack from heat. But at 5 grams, it's still glass — drops onto hard surfaces will break it. Keep it on a dab mat or soft surface when not in use.

What if the bowl gets clogged?

Soak in warm isopropyl alcohol for 20-30 minutes. Use a pipe cleaner or small brush to clear residue from the holes, then rinse and dry. Regular cleaning prevents buildup.

Does this work for concentrates?

Not recommended. This bowl is designed for flower. For concentrates, check out quartz bangers or dedicated dab accessories.
