Water pipes come in an array of shapes and sizes. If you have ever purchased one, you surely know the amount of confusion one faces to decide a style or a shape. For a smoker who loves pipes, it's important to know the differences between them. There are a few designs that suit you while the rest may not be up to the mark. It doesn't mean they aren't viable for others. The most popular of the lot is the scientific water pipe. Recreational smokers swear on this style due to its comfortable and relaxed smoking sensation. In general, these water pipes sit on a beaker shape or scientific tube. The first two common types are the Straight Tube and the Beaker Bong.

A Beaker Bong generally comes in either a bubble shape or a cone shape. These designs render a low center or base of gravity to the beaker, making them able to thrive and stand on their own. This is a particularly crucial feature because it adds significant stability and hold. You no longer need to worry about something knocking over the pipe. It can also stand on an irregular or uneven surface. The beaker water pipe has a wide body. It holds a lot of water.

A Beaker Bong has an indent to separate the mouthpiece from the base/bottom, due to which there is no bother about water splashing into your mouth while you are puffing and inhaling the smoke. You'll find that the beaker is also able to contain more air. It creates more smoke. The bubble is awesome. It also helps smokers to use bigger and better percolators, courtesy of the beaker water pipe's wideness. Do keep in mind that the width of a beaker pipe is what sets it apart from the rest, especially the straight ones.

While addressing the features of a Beaker Bong, you need to know about a carburetor and percolator. The former is a type of water pipe that has a hole at the base. It may not be essential for the water pipe's design, but the carb generates a much more consistent and intense hit. If you're using a carburetor, you just need to release your finger. It lets fresh air enter the pipe through the concerned carb hole. The entire procedure makes it easier and faster to clean the pipe's contents. A percolator, on the other hand, can be pretty much in any imaginable shape.
