Understanding Inline Percs

Inline percolators (or “percs” for short) are a fascinating component of bongs that contribute to the overall smoking experience. Let’s delve deeper into the world of inline percs to gain a better understanding of their mechanics and advantages.

An inline perc is a type of percolator found in bongs, specifically designed to enhance the filtration and diffusion of smoke. It consists of a horizontal tube with multiple slits or holes cut into it. This configuration allows the smoke to pass through the slits, breaking it into smaller bubbles, increasing surface area, and enabling better interaction with the surrounding water.

Unlike other percolators, such as tree percs or honeycomb percs, which are typically situated vertically within the bong, inline percs are positioned horizontally. This unique design contributes to their distinctive functionality and appearance.

How does an Inline Perc work?

When you take a hit from an inline perc bong, the smoke travels through the main vertical tube and enters the inline perc chamber. As the smoke enters, it encounters the horizontal tube containing the slits or holes of the inline perc. At this point, the magic begins.

The smoke is forced to diffuse through the slits or holes, which creates a multitude of tiny bubbles. These bubbles increase the water and smoke interaction, effectively cooling down the smoke and filtering out impurities. The result is a smoother and more enjoyable hit, as the harshness and heat are significantly reduced.

Benefits of using an Inline Perc Bong

Inline percs offer several advantages, making them a sought-after choice among smoking enthusiasts:

1. Enhanced Filtration: The intricate network of slits or holes in the inline perc provides excellent filtration, effectively removing impurities and particulate matter from the smoke. This results in cleaner, smoother hits that are gentle on the throat and lungs.
2. Cooling Effect: By breaking the smoke into smaller bubbles, inline percs maximize the water’s surface area that comes into contact with the smoke. This process facilitates rapid cooling, resulting in a more comfortable smoking experience.
3. Smooth Hits: The diffusion achieved by the inline perc helps to evenly distribute the smoke throughout the water, minimizing any harshness or irritation that might be present in unfiltered hits. This leads to smoother hits with improved flavor profiles.
4. Visual Appeal: Inline percs often showcase visually stunning designs due to the horizontal tube and the arrangement of slits or holes. This aesthetic appeal can enhance the overall enjoyment of using an inline perc bong.

The choice between a honeycomb bong and a percolator bong depends on personal preference and intended use. Both types of bongs offer filtration benefits but each has its own unique features:

Honeycomb bongs:

• Feature a plate with multiple small holes (like a honeycomb) that diffuses smoke, increasing filtration and cooling.
• Offer less drag and smoother hits.
• Are easy to clean due to the simple design.

Percolator bongs:

• Feature a chamber with slits or holes that bubbles smoke through water for filtration and cooling.
• Can offer greater filtration compared to honeycomb bongs.
• Can have more complex designs, which can make cleaning more difficult.

Ultimately, the decision comes down to personal preference and the desired smoking experience. Some people prefer the smoother hits of honeycomb bongs, while others prefer the additional filtration offered by percolator bongs.

How much water should I put in my percolator?

The amount of water to put in a weed percolator depends on the size of the percolator and personal preference. A general rule of thumb is to fill the percolator with enough water to cover the downstem while leaving about an inch of space from the top. It is recommended to start with a small amount of water and gradually add more until the desired hit is achieved. Keep in mind that adding more water will cool down the smoke but reduce the strength of the hit, while less water will provide a hotter, stronger hit.

Do percolator bongs make a difference?

Yes, percolator bongs can make a difference in the smoking experience. Percolators, which are incorporated into some bongs, create additional bubbles in the water and increase the surface area of the smoke, leading to cooler and smoother hits. This can be especially beneficial for those who have a sensitive throat or are looking to reduce the harshness of the smoke. However, the difference will depend on the specific type and design of the percolator, as well as individual preferences.

Why is a percolator bong better?

Percolator bongs are considered better due to their ability to filter and cool the smoke more efficiently, resulting in a smoother and cooler hit. The percolator system creates additional bubbles and surface area for smoke to be filtered through water, reducing harshness and providing a cleaner taste. Additionally, percolators can also help reduce the amount of tar and ash inhaled.
