What is a Percolator Bong?

Over the years, Percolator Bongs have become a hit with some smokers. It provides a unique smoking experience to any Bong, Bubbler, or Double Chamber Bong.
Traditional bongs usually just have a base at the bottom that holds the water, bowl piece, and stem. You rip from the top and pull the bowl when you want to clear out the chamber. With the percolator inside the bong, you begin ripping and the smoke enters the chamber and with the bubbling it takes the smoke into the diffused parts of the percolator and cools down the harshness of the rip. The smoke is sent back up through the neck of the bong before entering your system. Most stoners believe this is the ideal way to smoke since it’s always better for filtration and promotes less coughing.
