This is a premium 14mm male bong slide made with special, color-shifting dichroic glass. Its "fully flooded" design gives it a unique space-like, galaxy effect.
A "dichro fully flooded" bong slide is a special kind of bowl defined by its material and finish. "Dichro" stands for dichroic glass, which is coated with micro-layers of metals that reflect different colors as the light changes. "Fully flooded" means this amazing coating covers the whole piece, creating a deep, all-around visual effect. We combine this premium look with a standard 14mm male joint so it works with most bongs.
Understanding the specifications shows why this slide delivers on both performance and style. Each feature is chosen to provide a reliable and visually impressive experience.
| Specification | Value (What it is) | Benefit (Why it matters) |
|---|---|---|
| Dichroic Glass | Glass with micro-layers of metallic oxides. | Creates a stunning, color-shifting effect as the light changes, making your piece stand out. |
| 14mm Male Joint | The most common joint size and gender for bong slides. | Fits the majority of water pipes, so you can buy with confidence. |
| Single Hole Airflow | A classic bowl design with one opening at the base. | Gives you a simple, direct path for smoke that is easy to clean and provides a consistent draw. |
Beyond its basic function, this galaxy bong slide includes specific design elements that make it a collector-worthy piece. The interplay between the glass, coating, and finish defines its unique character.
The "galaxy" effect comes from the science behind dichroic glass. We fuse the glass with incredibly thin layers of non-toxic metallic oxides, creating a surface that filters and reflects light in a special way. As your viewing angle changes, different light wavelengths are transmitted, causing the colors to shift dramatically. This looks like the swirling nebulas of deep space, giving you a small piece of the cosmos.
The frosted finish on this bowl serves two purposes: looks and function. Visually, the frosted texture diffuses light, which enhances the depth of the dichroic galaxy pattern and makes the colors appear softer. Functionally, the matte surface provides a much better grip than smooth glass, which helps prevent accidental slips, especially when the slide is hot or wet.

Proper cleaning is essential to preserve the vibrant look of your dichroic glass slide. A simple soak and shake with isopropyl alcohol (91%+) and coarse salt is effective. This method dissolves residue without scratching the delicate surface, keeping the galaxy effect pristine for years to come.
To protect the finish, never use boiling water, as the extreme temperature shock can crack the glass. Avoid using hard metal pokers, pipe cleaners with sharp wire cores, or abrasive scouring pads. Also, do not put your dichroic slide in the dishwasher. The combination of high heat and harsh detergents can permanently dull or even strip away the special coating.
