Types of bubblers
Here are the most common types of bubblers:
-
Hammer bubblers: These have a flat bottom on the chamber, which allows you to set it upright on a table more easily (not for use in home improvement projects)
-
Double bubblers: This style has two chambers where water can filter and cool the smoke, creating hits that are twice as fresh and smooth - double whammy!
-
Sherlock bubblers: Have an S-shaped stem just like Mr. Holmes’ favorite, giving them a more classy look. It’s elementary, my dear Watson.
-
Pendant bubblers: These are smaller and have a hole where you can attach a chain or string to wear the bubbler as an accessory. Because why not?
-
Mini bubblers: Great if you’re looking for a discreet, small bubbler on-the-go.
-
Sidecar bubblers: This style has the bowl and water chamber off to the side from the main stem, which creates a unique look.

Concentrate bubblers: Are especially designed for use with concentrated waxes.
