What is a Percolator?

If you are in the market to  upgrade your glass piece setup lately, there’s no better way than by getting your hands on a quality percolator. Nowadays, percolators are enormously popular due to the clear benefits that they provide to the smoker. A percolator serves the purpose of filtering and cooling the smoke before it makes its way to the mouthpiece to be inhaled. It consists of a water chamber that breaks down the smoke and cools it along the way, so that by the time it makes it to your mouth, it’s cooler in temperature, and smoother. This works to make the smoke less harsh, which is easier on your throat and lungs. It also improves the flavor of the smoke by making it cleaner and rich.

There are a few different types of percolators : 

Honeycomb percolators : are super trendy at the moment, and it is easy to see why.  Consist of thin plates that are stacked on top of each other, each containing small holes. This creates a honeycomb effect that offers serious filtration for improved smoke quality. More of today’s bongs have included honeycomb percs because of how in demand they have become, and how compact they are.

Swiss percolator is one of the most impressive options due to the intricacy of its design. It has seemingly random holes around its sphere, looking sort of like swiss cheese, hence its name. This creates a unique style of airflow that produces some of the smoothest hits possible.

Showerhead percolator  is a percolator which the showerhead design forces smoke through the tiny holes of the barrel-like structure, which creates lots of small bubbles while doing a particularly thorough job at filtering and cooling the water.

Disc percolator has a thin, round, and wide disc design that consists of many tiny holes. This creates a powerful filtration system complete with lots and lots of bubbles, which many smokers enjoy. These discs can get clogged easily, and so if you are going to go for this option, be prepared to clean it regularly.

Turbine percolators are some of the most visually stunning options, creating an extremely enjoyable display that you can watch as you smoke. It consists of small, angled slits that surround the chamber, resulting in a whirlpool-like effect that has serious aesthetic value. It does a great job at filtrating, making it an extremely popular option.

The reality is that each percolator has a different effect on your smoke, and you should take your time to choose the best one for your precise needs. Ultimately, all of the above options do the same thing, which is cool down your smoke, improve airflow and offer a less harsh experience on the inhale.
