16" Classic UFO Bong & Staze Preserve Jar

What is a UFO bong?

Unlike your regular, classic straight or beaker bong, UFO bongs usually come with a UFO percolator that sits between the base and the chamber. Their name “UFO” comes from the percolator’s shape, which closely resembles that of a flying saucer. They are also often referred to as “dome percs”, and are often confused with “tire percs” and “showerhead percs” due to their similarities.

What’s so special about UFO bongs? How do they differ from a classic bong?

The main difference comes down to the percolator. A percolator can help your bong cool down the smoke as they enter the chamber and give you a smoother hit that causes less coughing. They are a great way to eliminate the harshness of the smoke without sacrificing the flavor of your weed.

More specifically, UFO bongs come with a UFO-shaped percolator designed to provide extremely powerful perculation. The many slits and holes on these percolators allow them to break up and filter smoke more efficiently than most types of percolators out there. Many smokers consider UFOs the best percs in filtration, providing heavenly smooth hits when used in a tall bong. If you’re switching to a UFO bong from a classic bong with no percolator, you’re in for an amazing experience.

Are tall bongs better than short bongs?

The answer to this question depends on the user's preferences. Tall bongs (usually 16-inch bongs or larger) tend to provide a cooler and more flavorful smoke, but shorter bongs may be easier to store due to their size. Ultimately, it is up to the individual user to decide if tall ufo bongs are right for them.

Are UFO bongs harder to clean than classic bongs?

In general, the more component there is to a bong, the more complicated the cleaning process will be. Unlike classic bongs, UFO bongs add in the extra step of cleaning the percolator, which could be easy or difficult depending on the design of your bong. With Vitae Glass’s modular build-a-bong design, your UFO percolator could be easily removed and cleaned on its own without complicating the entire process. This is a huge advantage compared to classic UFO bongs that are in one piece and cannot be taken apart. You can learn more about cleaning your bong in our blog post here.
