A recycler is a special bong in which the water cycles back and forth between two chambers in a closed loop. Instead of drawing through the water once, the smoke is filtered again and again – the result is a particularly smooth, cool, and even draw.
How does a recycler work?
First, the smoke is filtered through the water, as with any bong. With a recycler, however, the water does not then flow back into the main chamber but is led via tubes into a second chamber and then returned from there. This creates a constant cycle that keeps the smoke permanently in motion and in contact with the water.
The advantages
- Constant filtration – the smoke is passed through the water multiple times.
- Extra cool – the long path cools noticeably more.
- Less splashing – due to the cycle, hardly any water gets into the mouthpiece.
- Optics – the constantly circulating water is a real eye-catcher.
Who is a recycler worthwhile for?
For everyone who wants maximally smooth, cool smoke and values high-quality glasswork. Recyclers are more elaborately built than simple bongs – more chambers, more tubes, more precision. This is exactly what makes them a piece of craftsmanship. Cleaning is a bit more demanding as a result.
Frequently asked questions
What distinguishes a recycler from a normal bong?
The water flows in a circuit between two chambers, instead of being drawn through once – this filters continuously.
Is a recycler harder to clean?
Somewhat, because of the additional chambers and tubes. Regular rinsing keeps it clear.
Is a recycler harder to draw from?
No, often even pleasant – the draw is smooth and cool, the resistance moderate.
Does a recycler need more water?
Only enough for the circuit to function. Too much interferes, too little interrupts the flow.
