While many bongs look similar, the details in the Phoenix Star Beaker make it a superior choice for both new and experienced users. From material choices to functional design, every element is geared towards performance and longevity. Why Is 7Mm Thick Borosilicate Glass A Better Choice? The 7mm wall thickness makes a noticeable difference in weight and durability. This isn't a delicate piece you handle with extreme caution. The added heft from the thick borosilicate glass provides peace of mind against small knocks and bumps of regular use, making it an investment that lasts. How Does The Wide Base Prevent Tips And Spills? The classic flaw of many bongs is instability. We address this with a 4.5-inch flared beaker base. This wider footprint dramatically increases stability, especially when compared to straight tube bongs or beakers with a smaller base. It stays planted firmly on your table, protecting you from session-ending accidents. What Is The Purpose Of The Built-In Ice Catcher? Located in the neck, the three glass pinches act as an ice catcher. This simple but effective feature allows you to stack ice cubes in the tube. As smoke passes over the ice, it rapidly cools, resulting in a significantly smoother and less harsh hit. It is a must-have for anyone who prefers cooler draws. The combination of thick glass, a wide base, and an ice catcher delivers a secure, smooth, and reliable session every time. The 7mm glass provides a reassuring weight and enhanced durability. The wide base is engineered specifically to counter tipping. The ice catcher is a simple, proven way to cool smoke for comfort. Is This Beaker Bong Right For You? Consider this bong if you: Value durability and want a piece that can withstand daily use. Have had bongs tip over before and want maximum stability. Prefer the classic, reliable function of a beaker-style bong. Enjoy smoother, cooler hits provided by an ice catcher. Want a versatile 12-inch size that's effective but not oversized.

How To Use And Clean Your Beaker Bong Proper use and regular maintenance keep your bong hitting smoothly and looking great for years. Follow these simple steps for setup and cleaning. What Is The Right Water Level For This Bong? For optimal function, fill the beaker base with enough water so the diffuser slits on the end of the downstem are fully submerged by about half an inch. This ensures maximum bubble percolation for filtration and cooling without causing splashback. You can test the level by pulling air through the bong without a bowl; if you get water in your mouth, pour a little out. How Do I Clean This Thick Glass Beaker Bong? Cleaning is straightforward. For a deep clean, follow this 4-step process: Disassemble: Carefully remove the bowl and downstem. Rinse: Rinse all three parts with hot water to remove loose debris. Soak & Shake: Add coarse sea salt and 91%+ isopropyl alcohol to the bong's base. Plug the openings and shake vigorously for 1-2 minutes. Place the downstem and bowl in a separate zip-top bag with the same solution to soak. Final Rinse: Dump the cleaning solution and rinse all parts thoroughly with warm water until all alcohol and residue are gone. Let them air dry completely before reassembling. Correct water levels and routine cleaning are key to the best experience. Submerge downstem slits by about a half-inch for perfect filtration. Use a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and salt for effective cleaning. Regular rinsing prevents heavy resin buildup. What Accessories Fit This Bong?
