What Are Percolators For Bongs?

What Are Percolators?

With the growing popularity of hemp smoking devices, manufacturers are continuously introducing new features and innovations to enhance the smoking experience of smoking lovers. One such innovation that is shaping the smoking experience of connoisseurs and novices alike are percolators.

They are simply an extra water chamber that provides enhanced filtration of smoke. Coming in various sizes and shapes, percolators remove the byproducts of combustion allowing you the cleanest hits.

The percolators ensure the smoke passes through the water two or even three times instead of one to deliver you the smoothest possible hits. If you cough while taking rips, this extra filtration can prove extremely helpful.

Some people wonder what effects extra filtration can leave on the potency and flavour. Few of the smokers may worry that the additional filtration might cause a drop in their hits' potency and flavour. If you are among those, you no need to be worried anymore.

Since potency is not water-soluble, therefore it would not dilute. Only a minimal loss may occur due to the residue left on the dry sides of the percolator. But the enhanced quality that you will experience worth bearing that negligible loss in the potency.

The use of percolators makes the smoke cool down, and you get super smooth draws to enjoy a different experience.

How Do They  Work?

The percolator usually comes in a dome shape, but you may come across designs with different shapes as well. It is an additional water chamber that usually rests in the tube of the bong.

When you draw the smoke from the bong, it passes through the water in the bowl. On its way up to the tube, smoke interacts with the water for the second time in the percolator.

This system cools and filters the smoke more efficiently in two ways. First, it allows smoke to make additional contact with the water that cools it down. Second, a larger surface area of smoke interacts with the water, resulting in further cooling down.

Moreover, the pressure inside the percolator breaks down the bubbles into smaller sizes. That allows your bong to produce a cooler and smoother hit.

The primary purpose of introducing a percolator in a bong is to improve the quality of hits, making it easier to draw in the smoke. People having trouble hitting a bong can try a bong with a percolator and see how it turns out for them. Smoking using a percolator allows you to inhale smoke conveniently and enjoy having a smooth session.

What Are The Benefits? 

The addition of a percolator to a bong makes smoke easier to inhale. Some people believe that percolators can enhance the absorption that creates a more potent experience. But it is not true since percolators make you only as better as a bong can.

As a matter of fact, a slightly more amount of smoke is lost in bongs with percolators than ones without additional filtration. But you do not need to worry since this loss is slight and does not make much difference to your smoking experience.

Benefits of Percolators

Stoners prefer percolator bongs since they offer an unmatched smoking experience. Several factors play a role in making them a sought-after add-on to your bong.

• Purest Vapors

  Percolator bongs allow you to enjoy the purest vapours. They extract vapours from herb and hold it for a relatively long time. When you inhale a couple of hits, you experience a potent pleasure. Moreover, you can experience the flavour going down from your throat into your lungs.

• Cooling

  The percolators are designed in a way to offer you a different kind of smoking experience. When you inhale from the smoking outlet, your breath forces the smoke to pass through the water container. This process allows water to absorb heat from the smoke and make it cool down. By the time smoke reaches your system, it becomes very smooth after passing through the percolation chamber.

• Filtration

  Do you know what best function percolator bongs can perform? They eliminate harmful carcinogens from the smoke and prevent them from reaching out to your body. Your breath forces the smoke to interact with the water in the container. It is here water absorbs the nasty carcinogens from the smoke.

  When smoke reaches your body, it is clean and free of toxins that can damage your health. The ability of percolator bongs to trap harmful compounds makes them appealing for health-conscious smokers.
