Percolator is an important part in bongs, rigs, water pipes,etc for more smoother and cooler smoking experience. A Percolator or ‘perc’ is an apparatus for your bong or water pipe which assists to cool off smoke. It is basically an additional water chamber for your bong and usually lives in the tube of the bong. This helps smokers achieve a smoother hit and way less coughing. Percolators are available in various sizes, shapes and functionality. It is essentially an extra water container for your bong, and normally resides in the tube of the bong. It holds water inside it and is an additional purifying technique for your smoke.
The dreaded cough usually happens to majority of smokers because the smoke goes directly from the chamber to your lung making it almost impossible to not cough. A percolator can help avoid that painful cough almost every time. A percolator uses air flow and the water to cool down the smoke before it hits your lungs. The water slows down the smoke’s path to your lungs, giving the smoke significantly more time to cool down. Forcing the smoke to interact with water dissipates heat from the smoke as well as some of the heated water turn into water vapor, thereby moisturizing the hit. It makes the smoke less harsh on your lungs. It’s basically a filter for your bong. That is when the smoke interacts with the water, the water magnetically attracts polar contaminants, taking them out of the smoke. Therefore, filtration in addition to cooling and moisturizing makes for much smoother hits and happier lungs.
All in all, a percolator is a beneficial thing to have inside your bong. It produces softer, colder smoke making things all over a lot more pleasurable. There are no real negative effects on your high for using it.
