This 8.5-inch rig is a compact water pipe with a honeycomb perc for extremely smooth hits. Its size balances powerful filtration with easy handling, making it a great daily driver.
Our 8.5 Inch Honeycomb Perc Rig is an efficient water pipe made for dabbers who want great smoothness and flavor. Its practical height is large enough for powerful diffusion but small enough for easy handling. The core of this rig is its honeycomb percolator—a flat disc with dozens of tiny holes that chop vapor into a storm of microbubbles.
The result is a cooler, well-filtered hit that is less harsh but still has great taste. We built this rig from high-quality borosilicate glass for durability and a clean flavor. It is an ideal choice for new dabbers and experienced users who need a reliable rig for daily use.
This rig combines a compact design with high-performance filtration for smooth, flavorful dabs every time.
Every part of this rig was chosen to create a better dabbing session. From the glass to the perc, the specs translate directly into performance you can feel.

The rig's thoughtful construction maximizes smoothness and compatibility, making it a reliable centerpiece.
A honeycomb perc is very efficient. Unlike other percs that push vapor through a few large slits, a honeycomb disc diffuses it through dozens of tiny holes. This action creates a huge number of small bubbles, increasing the surface area of the vapor that touches the water. This fast and total cooling turns a harsh hit into a smooth one. The design also creates very little drag, so you can inhale easily without feeling restricted.
Yes, this rig is designed with a wide and sturdy base. This gives it a low center of gravity, which greatly reduces the risk of it tipping over while you heat the banger. The solid foundation gives you confidence and helps ensure a safe dabbing session.
Buyer's Checklist
This rig’s features are engineered for smooth hits, stability, and long-term use.
To get the best function, fill the rig with enough water to cover the honeycomb disc by about a quarter-inch. The goal is to cover all the holes without overfilling, which can cause splashback. A quick test inhale before heating will show if you have it right—you should see strong bubbling across the whole disc without water reaching your mouth.
Using your honeycomb rig is simple. Following these steps will help you get a great session every time and keep your gear fresh.

While other rigs specialize in portability or cooling, the honeycomb rig excels at providing maximum smoothness.
Cleaning a honeycomb perc is easier than it might seem. For a deep clean, empty the old water and fill the rig with a mix of 91%+ isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt. Plug the openings and shake it hard for a few minutes. This lets the salt scrub the inside and the perc plate. Then, rinse it completely with warm water until all the alcohol and residue are gone.
The best way to deal with a clogged perc is to prevent it. The most effective habit is to change the water every day. Fresh water stops resin from building up in the tiny holes. Also, giving the rig a quick alcohol rinse once a week will keep it working like new and ensure airflow is never blocked.
Regular, simple cleaning is the key to maintaining your honeycomb rig's performance and longevity.
