What Are the Benefits of Using a Percolator Bong?
A percolator adds another filtration stage inside a bong, breaking smoke into smaller bubbles as it passes through water. More bubbles = more contact with water, which transforms how the hit feels. Here’s why people buy bongs with percolators:
- Cooler smoke: Extra diffusion gives heat more time to drop, which is why these bongs are easier on the throat during longer pulls.
- More controlled hits: Percolators spread smoke out evenly, slowing every rip down so you don’t get caught off guard by massive hits.
- Cleaner sessions: Ash and heavier particles get caught earlier to keep your main chamber cleaner between rinses.
- It’s a vibe: The bubbling action is super fun to watch, and it improves function all at the same time!
When you build your own bong it’s easy to add a perc (or multiple percs) to any design. You can start simple, add filtration later, or adjust your setup whenever preferences change. Explore the collection and build a setup that fits how you actually smoke.
Types of Percolators You Can Add to a Bong
There are so many different types of percolators, and most of them are available here as bong accessories. These are some of the most popular:
- Tree Percolator: Multiple arms with slits create wide diffusion. Many smokers like the layered bubbling, but it can increase resistance depending on the water level.
- Honeycomb Disc Percolator: Flat discs filled with tiny holes produce dense bubbles and strong filtration. Great for smoother pulls.
- UFO (Showerhead) Percolator: Dome-shaped designs push smoke through evenly spaced slits. Sweet spot for balanced diffusion without the draw feeling too restricted.
- Matrix Percolator: A mix of vertical and horizontal openings spreads smoke across multiple paths for a smooth, consistent pull throughout the hit.
- Inline or Disc-Style Percolation: Straight-line diffusion breaks smoke up early in the process. Many people like it as a first stage before adding other percs higher in the build.
Each style brings a different feel to the session, which is the beauty of our modular percolator bong designs. You can experiment and find the perfect match for your preferences! Shop our customizable glass bongs for sale today.

Frequently asked questions
What's the point of a bong percolator?
Simple - more filtration! It makes bigger rips feel less overwhelming on the lungs and throat. Percolators break smoke into smaller bubbles, leading to more contact time with water before the smoke reaches you.
Is a percolator bong better?
You’d think the answer is 100% yes across the board - but that’s not necessarily true. While the vast majority of our customers do love percolators in their bongs, some people prefer a punchier, more direct hit with less drag. That’s the beauty of our modular builds, you can add or remove percolators as you see fit.
Do percolator bongs get you higher?
Nope. Percolators have nothing to do with “intensity.” That being said, there’s a case to be made that you can easily get higher with a percolator bong since you can take bigger hits without coughing.
What is the disadvantage of a percolator?
More filtration usually means a bit more resistance and more parts to clean. Some people say the extra filtration compromises on flavor purity, too. The tradeoff is worth it for many, but it’s totally a personal call.
How to fill a percolator bong with water?
Fill slowly until each perc’s slits or holes are just covered. Too much water adds drag, while too little won’t activate the perc properly. Don’t worry about finding the sweet spot right away, it might take a little trial and error.
What are the different types of percolator bongs?
Tree, honeycomb, UFO (showerhead), matrix, and inline designs are all common. Each changes how smoke diffuses and how the pull feels.
How to clean a percolator bong?
Rinse often and do deeper cleanings with alcohol and warm water when buildup appears. Detachable sections make this much faster. You can also add an ash catcher to prevent buildup even further!
