When you search for cool rig designs, you will surly encounter Faberge egg design. Simply known as fab egg, this rig exquisitely blends together many specifications and attributes offers a lot to the choosy smoker. What is a fab egg rig and why does it have that name? Let’s explore the awesomeness of the Faberge egg rig one by one.

Living up to its name, this rig is shaped like an egg. It uses several holes in its glass body to force the smoke and water to mix together and diffuse off its unusual surface area. The name “Faberge Egg” originally comes from the jeweled and heavily decorated Easter gifts that were designed by the Russian artist Peter Carl Faberge and his company in nineteenth century. These precious eggs that have been preserved are now kept in museums and archives for safekeeping. The Fab Egg style of rigs takes its name from these Faberge Eggs likely due to its luxurious nature and the time and dedication it took in creating them.

Beautiful and unique design sets these Fab egg rigs apart from most of the traditional water pipes and dab rigs. Apart from being unique, visually stunning, and often overwhelming at a glance; Fab Egg rig is very comfortable in hand and functions like no other piece in the world. Fab egg rigs have spherical chambers with hollow centers. Even some fab egg rigs will have chambers within chambers.

The Faberge Egg body style has made its way through a variety of changes, and still continues to grow and change as more innovators take the stage in the glass industry. From a pure aesthetic perspective, the fab egg has the definitive glass-on-glass design. Regardless of the configuration, though, they are composed of two chambers: one for percolation and one for recycling. It’s basically a rig within a rig. Water and vapor moves through the two layers of glass instead of through the middle chamber like in most water pipes. This means an exceptional degree of filtration.

The Swiss perc is considered the predecessor of the fab egg. Swiss perc uses a similarly round, but much more narrow, body as the Fab Egg. It was named for its resemblance to a Swiss cheese wheel. Mothership Glass was one of the first companies to take the next step in designing the Fab Egg. The first fab eggs were exclusively dab rigs. Like the original Faberge eggs they draw inspiration from, were regarded as rare works of heady glass art. Initial models were heavily priced. Even with the huge price, many glass enthusiasts were keenly interested to get their hands on these rigs.

Despite the initial high end prices of fab egg, many modern glass producers make fab egg water pipes that are affordable for any budget. Indeed, it is a good investment for any smoker to pick up a fab egg for their glass collection. Their high-level diffusion creates a drag-free smoke and such satisfying hits which is incomparable with smoke from any other water pipe.
