Bubblers and bongs are classic smoking devices, in use since decades to smoke herbs and tobacco. They are the most popular way to smoke herbs, as they provides an experience that is much beyond comparison with the one you get from other traditional smoking implements. Both bubblers and bongs have many similarities, and novice smokers usually mix up these terms, after all both the devices use water to filter out smoke. However, there are some differences between the two as well. Smokers have a specific type of water pipe in mind when they speak of a bubbler.

Bongs are similar in function to hookahs, but are smaller in size. And bubblers, in fact, are nothing but small bongs. A smoker can hold it in one hand and smoke easily. Even though bongs are available in an endless array of sizes, shapes and styles, they have three distinctive features in their construction – a water chamber, a tube and a downstem. The size, shape and height of a bong affect the way it pulls the smoke through the water compartment and into the tube. The average long bong size is generally double or more than the size of average bubbler pipe.

Bongs are ideal for regular smokers to enjoy herbs at home. But those who like to use water pipes on the go, bubbler suites them better. Due to its smaller size bubblers are much easier to use on the go and are safe to transport than bongs. However the larger size of bongs provides other advantages. A bong can accommodate more intricate percolators. Thus bongs more effectively removes the unwanted nasty substances associated with smoke and provides you a perfect smooth hit.

Bubblers generally look more trendy and stylish compared to normal bongs. But some heady bongs can entice even non-smokers. Bubblers are available with varieties of mouthpieces, like the one that bends out like a Sherlock pipe. The stem in a bubbler reaches the base of the water chamber. One can actually see bubbles forming and coming out of water. The internal water chamber in bubbler is very small and hence needs frequent cleaning unlike bongs that are large in size.

Another major difference between these two water pipe varieties is in their ability to cool smoke. Smokers can add ice cubes inside the bongs for a cooler hit which impossible to get with bubblers. With bubblers, it is impractical to add ice cubes as the water chamber is small.

Both the two devices provide you a smoother smoke, without hurting your lungs. The choice on what to choose ultimately depends on your preferences. Whatever be your choice, your will find it at KC Smokz.
