Studies have shown that more than half of the American population have tried marijuana at some point in their life. Whether for medicinal reasons or for recreational use, cannabis consumption has skyrocketed in recent years due to the legalization of marijuana in various states and the addition of dispensaries to cities and towns.
If you want to start trying cannabis for the health benefits or recreational side effects, you may be wondering where to start. With plenty of accessories and smoking methods, like bongs, bowls, joints, blunts, and pipes, it can get confusing to find which one is best for beginner use.
We will tell you about one interesting, unique, and fun way to ingest cannabis that typically isn’t the first method that comes to mind.
What is a bubbler, and why do people use them?
Bubblers are portable, glass, interestingly shaped, and single-pipe devices that provide smooth hits. Basically, a more unique water pipe, this method uses water to allow for a cleaner hit by removing toxins that may otherwise be left in hand pipes.
Although water pipes are somewhat standard in the cannabis world, bubblers are more unique. A bubbler falls between the category of a water pipe and a bong but has its own distinctive characteristics and advantages you won’t find in either mechanism.
Similar to a bong, a bubbler has a bowl, mouthpiece, stem, and chamber for the smoke to be held. In the chamber, smoke will be stored until it is time for inhalation, allowing it to cool off while waiting. Some bubblers also feature a percolator, another accessory that helps cool the water and smoke before inhaling.
Now that you know what a bubbler is, what advantages does this smoking method have over other options?
Why should I use a bubbler?
One potential reason users may select a bubbler is since it is a hybrid choice between bongs and pipes. If you like both of these methods, chances are you will enjoy the smoking experience with a bubbler. In addition, bubblers are more portable than bombs, meaning you can easily fit this mechanism inside a backpack or large purchase.
Although hand pipes are easier to carry, bubblers offer a more extraordinary smoking experience than hand pipes due to the inclusion of water that provides a smooth and filtered hit.
Lastly, bubblers are cool-looking. Simply put, when you bring out a bubbler around your friends or at a party, people are going to enjoy smoking with you. With exciting color patterns, designs, and a unique shape that is more artistic than a traditional water pipe or bong, you can browse between the dozens of options at in-person local dispensaries or online stores.
Conclusion
Although a bubbler may look strange, it is a fun, effective, safe, and widely used smoking method that combines the benefits of a bong and pipe into one. With portability, superb aesthetics and shapes, and smooth hits, people who enjoy the powerful hits of bongs and the small size of pipes will enjoy this hybrid option.
