What are Scientific Glass Bongs? The Breakdown...

So, what is “scientific glass”? If you look it up on Wikipedia, you find a rich history of folks making light bulbs and vacuum tubes which is all very interesting, but it’s not what we are talking about here.
For you and for us, scientific glass refers to borosilicate glass bongs or rigs/bubblers that have a few specific features:
- Typically made out of nice thick all clear glass, sometimes with minimal color/worked sections
- Known for having perfectly functioning percs, creating massive diffusion for cooling and filtering your smoke
- Often remind you of lab grade science equipment with long clear glass tubes, flared beaker bottoms, and airtight glass on glass connections
When compared to the other end of the spectrum - the heady and fully worked pieces - scientific glass is often more affordable, but it is still a difficult form of glassblowing. The completely clear glass is quite literally a window into the inner workings of the bong, bubbler, or rig, so the artist needs to be sure that everything not only looks perfect, but functions perfectly as well.
The added diffusion that is created by a new scientific glass perc leads to the hot smoke traveling through the water in smaller bubbles. Their smaller surface area allows the water to cool them more efficiently as they stack up towards your awaiting taste buds. This filtered and cooled smoke hits your lips like a cool breeze for the some of the smoothest hits of your life!
