Description
The Softglass Core Bubbler is a bubbler that combines a thick borosilicate glass chamber with integrated silicone accents for grip and real-world durability. Inside, a straight slit percolator diffuses smoke through the water for a cooler, cleaner pull than a dry pipe or entry-level bubbler without a perc.
At 4.85" across, it sits solidly on its silicone foot and holds enough water for consistent filtration from the first hit to the last. The bowl cap and stowed metal tool keep sessions practical — no burning bowl left unattended, no separate poker to track down.
FAQs
- What is it made of? Borosilicate glass for the bowl and chamber; silicone for the grip wrap, foot, and bowl cover.
- What kind of percolator does it use? A straight slit percolator — multiple slits in a fixed diffuser that break smoke into smaller bubbles as it passes through the water.
- What is the bowl diameter? 17mm — standard size for a moderate load.
- Where is the carb? Left-side carb.
- How do I clean it? Clean the glass parts with sea salt and 70%+ isopropyl alcohol. For silicone, use 70%+ isopropyl, rinse with water, and let dry completely. Note: isopropyl may temporarily cause silicone to expand slightly.
- What comes in the box? Core Bubbler, silicone bowl cover, and metal tool.
- What colors does it come in? Onyx, Cerulean, Pistachio, and Sienna.

- What is a percolator? A diffuser inside a water pipe that breaks smoke into smaller bubbles. More surface area in contact with water means more filtration and cooling per hit.
- How is a bubbler different from a bong? A bubbler is handheld and compact with a built-in water chamber. Bongs are larger with removable parts. Bubblers are more portable; bongs typically allow more customization and filtration capacity.
- How much water do I add? Fill until the slit percolator is just submerged — enough to create bubbling without splashing back toward your mouth.
- Why does glass matter for the bowl? Glass doesn't react with heat or affect flavor. Borosilicate is heat-resistant and the standard for quality smoking pieces.
- What does the silicone actually do? It protects the glass from impacts, improves grip, and provides a comfortable hold. The glass handles the smoking; the silicone handles everything else.
