What Features Make It Effective?
Beyond its core function, two features define our Dichro Galaxy Martini bowl: the practical horn pull and the mesmerizing dichroic glass.
What Is The Purpose Of The Horn Pull Handle?
The horn pull handle is an ergonomic feature we added for your safety and convenience. This glass extension gives you a secure place to grip the bowl, keeping your fingers far from the heat. This helps prevent accidental burns and provides better leverage when sliding the bowl out, reducing the risk of dropping it.
What Makes Dichroic Glass Look Like A Galaxy?
Dichroic glass gets its stunning, multi-colored look from a special process. Multiple micro-layers of metals and oxides are vaporized onto the glass surface inside a vacuum chamber. These layers reflect different wavelengths of light, making the glass appear to shift colors as you view it from different angles. This gives the bowl its deep, shimmering "galaxy" effect, making each piece unique.
Evidence:
- The horn handle is a key feature for easy and safe handling.
- Dichroic glass adds major visual appeal over standard clear or colored glass.
- These features deliver both practical benefits and high-end looks.

Six Steps For A Fresh, Clean Bowl
- Inspect & Seat: Before first use, ensure the 14mm male joint is clean and fits snugly into your bong's female joint.
- Pack Loosely: Grind your material and pack it into the bowl. To ensure proper airflow, avoid packing it too tightly.
- Light & Inhale: Light a corner of the material while inhaling from the mouthpiece. The martini shape provides steady airflow.
- Clear the Chamber: When ready, grip the horn pull handle to lift the bowl from the joint and clear the smoke.
- Ash Out: After the bowl is spent, turn it upside down and gently tap the ash into a tray.
- Clean Regularly: For a deep clean, place the bowl in a bag with isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt. Shake gently, then rinse with hot water.
Evidence:
- Always use the horn handle to remove the bowl, especially when it's hot.
- A looser pack provides better airflow and a more even burn.
- Regular cleaning with alcohol and salt prevents sticky resin buildup.
- Rinsing with hot water after cleaning removes any alcohol residue.
