Percs

Percs are the unique devices within your pipe that percolate and diffuse your smoke in water, bringing you a smooth, unique hit with each different perc variant and combination.

Dome Perc

Domed Showerhead Perc – A dome-like enclosure with slits or holes where the dome meets the bottom. These percolators allow for diffusion when the smoke passes through the dome and separates when exiting the holes on the edges.

Frit Disc Perc

Frit Disc Perc – A fritted disc perc is a perc that is made up of fritted glass, which can resemble a single, solid, crystal-like disc of glass that has thousands of microscopic openings to diffuse the water and smoke, which in turn create very small bubbles and a very unique pull.

Honeycomb Perc

Honeycomb Perc – A type of disk perc that looks like a honeycomb. It offers more diffusion than a standard disk perc because of the number of small holes that further divides the smoke that passes through them. The more holes, the better the diffusion. However, if the holes are too small, drag increases.

Inline Perc

Inline Perc – An inline perc is a horizontal tube with gridded slits cut around and under the tube. Inline percs are also often referred to as barrel percs.

Matrix Perc

Matrix Perc – A taller puck-type perc, with many, many tiny holes that make for a bubbly diffusion.

Reti Perc

Reti Slit Perc – A perc that features subtle oppositely running slits which create a unique vortex-type pull of water and smoke.

Showerhead Perc

Showerhead Perc – A vertical tube that flairs out at the bottom, with slits or holes for diffusion.

Sprinkler Perc

Sprinkler Perc – A unique perc featuring a sprinkler-like design that shoots water just like a lawn sprinkler.

Swiss Perc

Swiss Perc – A vertical style percolator seen on a unique style of water pipes that resembles Swiss cheese, with holes made on a large vertical disc-like shape that lets smoke pass around them.

Tree Perc

Tree Perc – A tree perc is comprised of a chamber with multiple internal arms. Arms will either be open-bottomed or closed, usually with slits on the sides. Smaller slits give smaller bubbles, which gives more diffusion. The more arms, the more the smoke is separated, which allows for even more filtration and percolation.

Joints

Joints are the part of the piece that connects your bowl, dome, nail, etc. to the rest of your rig.

45 Joint Open

45 Degree Joint Open – An open joint that connects to your rig at a more acute, 45 degree angle.

45 Joint Outline

45 Degree Joint Outline – An outline of a joint that connects to your rig at a more acute, 45 degree angle.
