A sidecar bubbler gets its name from its shape. It has a bowl, rush hole, and water chamber. It also has a neck and mouthpiece. Its thick base is stable. The shape of a sidecar bubbler is smoother than other types of percolators. Its shape also allows the smoke to cool and prevents splashback. And because it has two chambers, the water cannot be forced out of the top.
While many people think of the water bong as the classic water pipe, there is another type of water pipe that is growing in popularity – the bubbler. Bubblers are a hybrid of a water bong and a pipe, and the rush hole is located on the side. Like the bong, the bubbler holds water, while the bong is much larger. As a result, you can smoke multiple bubbles at once and still have plenty of space to carry it around.
Aside from the bubbler’s smoothness, another downside is that they are easy to get clogged and difficult to clean. However, if you’re a connoisseur of bubblers, you’ll definitely appreciate these conveniences. Just keep in mind that they can also get dirty very quickly. If you’re looking to make sure that your bubblers stay sanitary, you’ll want to purchase an inexpensive magazine specializing in cleaning water pipes.
When filling your bubblers, make sure the water level is just under the downstem. Otherwise, smoke will not travel through the water. The downstem should have a water level slightly above the slits of the perc. This will prevent bacteria and mold from growing. Also, keep the bowl packed with water. Clean it thoroughly after every smoke. The water level should never exceed half way. This will make the water level in your bubbler smoother.
Aside from the size of the bowl, another important feature of a bubbler is its design. While glass and metal bubblers are more durable than plastic bubblers, both can break. For a glass bubbler, proper care can extend the life span of your pipe. While some glass bubblers can last for years, others break within a week. If you’re planning on using a bubbler on a regular basis, consider investing in a high-quality glass bubbler.
In addition, bubblers can be retrofitted into pools that are already in existence. Excavation of the area, as well as the installation of pipes and power lines, are required in order to retrofit your bubblers into an existing pool.
Bubblers can cost as much as $500, and in order to increase the amount of light they emit, you can attach additional LED lights or automated timers to them. In spite of the fact that installing bubblers will incur additional expenses, you will find that they are well worth the investment in the long run. Also, keep in mind that in addition to their aesthetic value, they serve a practical purpose.
In terms of price, a high-quality bubbler can cost up to $60. Though there are some exceptions, it’s generally a good idea to stick to lab-quality glass. But if you don’t want to break your budget, you can also go for a cheaper model. But remember that the price will depend on the glass type and design. A low-cost non-scientific bubbler can be as cheap as $25.
