A Percolator Bong, also known as a double filtration glass bong, is essential for many smokers who want smoother and cooler hits. It prevents splashback, cools the smoke, and enhances filtration. While not mandatory, percolators (or “percs”) have become a standard feature in most glass bongs — and many models even let you add extra percs if your bong doesn’t already have one. Let’s explore the purpose, benefits, and popular types of percolators used in modern glass bongs.
Why Use a Percolator Bong?
While traditional bongs already filter smoke through water, adding a percolator takes your experience to the next level. Without a perc, harsh smoke can cause throat irritation. A percolator bong further filters and cools the smoke, delivering smoother, more enjoyable hits every time.
Similar to a standard bong, a double percolator bong uses both air and water to filter smoke. As you inhale, air passes through the percolator’s slits or holes, creating tiny bubbles that cool and purify the smoke before reaching your lungs. The result: smoother draws, richer flavor, and less coughing.
