HONEYCOMB & 12 ARM TREE PERC BONG

Every component of this bong is designed to work together to cool and filter your smoke. See how each feature translates into a better session.

The combination of stacked percs, an ice catcher, and a stable base delivers reliable, high-performance filtration.

• Evidence: Stacked percolators provide more diffusion than single-perc designs.
• Evidence: The beaker base provides a low center of gravity for stability.
• Evidence: The 14mm joint is a common size, making it easy to find compatible accessories.

The magic of this piece lies in how the two percolators complement each other. Each one targets a different aspect of diffusion, resulting in a comprehensive filtering process that single-perc bongs cannot match.

How Does The Honeycomb Percolator Work?

The journey begins at the honeycomb disc, a flat plate perforated with dozens of small holes. As smoke is pulled through, it is forced through these holes, instantly creating a massive field of small bubbles. This initial diffusion stage is excellent at removing impurities and starting the cooling process evenly and efficiently.

What Does The 12-Arm Tree Percolator Add?

After the honeycomb, smoke travels up to the 12-arm tree perc. Each of the 12 glass arms has small slits at its base, forcing the already-diffused smoke through a second filtering stage. This re-bubbles the smoke, extending its contact time with the water for a final cooling and purifying action that significantly reduces harshness.

By combining two different perc styles, this bong offers a more thorough and enjoyable filtration process.

• Evidence: Honeycomb discs create a high density of bubbles for initial diffusion.
• Evidence: Tree percolators increase the time smoke spends interacting with water.
• Evidence: This stacked approach results in cooler and smoother hits.

Getting the water level right is key to unlocking the full potential of a double percolator bong. The goal is to activate both percs without causing splashback or excessive drag.

What Is The Ideal Water Level?

Follow these simple steps for optimal performance:

1. Fill the Base: Pour water through the mouthpiece until the beaker base is about one-third full. The downstem slits should be fully submerged.
2. Fill the Honeycomb: Continue adding water until it just covers the holes of the honeycomb disc by a few millimeters.
3. Activate the Tree Perc: Take a gentle pull from the mouthpiece without a bowl. This will draw water up into the top chamber, filling the 12-arm tree perc. Ensure the water level rests just above the slits on the arms.
4. Test the Draw: Take another gentle pull. You should see bubbling from both percs. If you get splashback, pour out a small amount of water and test again.

Where Can I Use This Bong?

With its high-level filtration and stable base, this bong is best suited for home use where it can be placed on a flat, stable surface like a coffee table or desk. Its smooth output makes it ideal for daily use or for longer group sessions where comfort is a priority.

Proper water levels ensure both percolators function correctly for maximum smoothness without splashback.

• Evidence: Cover the honeycomb disc and ensure the tree perc arms have water above their slits.
• Evidence: Test the draw before adding your bowl to check for splashback.
• Evidence: The stable beaker base makes it a reliable piece for at-home sessions.

This bong excels at filtration, but other designs offer different advantages. Here’s how it stacks up against other popular styles in a similar price range.

This bong prioritizes maximum filtration, while alternatives may offer simpler cleaning or lower drag.

• Evidence: Double percs offer more filtration than single percs or basic downstems.
• Evidence: Simpler designs like beaker bongs are the easiest to clean.
• Evidence: Matrix and showerhead percs provide alternative high-diffusion experiences.

Keeping your double perc bong clean is essential for performance and flavor. Due to the complex percolators, regular maintenance will prevent buildup and ensure smooth airflow. We recommend cleaning every 1-3 uses.

Which Cleaning Supplies Are Best For This Bong?

For a bong with intricate parts like a honeycomb and tree perc, you will need the right tools. A combination of 91%+ isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt is highly effective. You will also want cleaning plugs to seal the openings and pipe cleaners or a flexible brush to reach inside the tree perc arms if needed.

Can I Prevent The Percolators From Clogging?

Yes. The best way to prevent clogs is to change the water daily and rinse the bong with hot water after each session. This simple step stops resin from hardening inside the small perc holes. For added protection, using an ash catcher is the most effective way to trap debris before it ever reaches the first percolator, dramatically extending the time between deep cleanings.

Regular rinsing and using an ash catcher are the best ways to keep honeycomb and tree percs clean.

• Evidence: Daily water changes and hot water rinses prevent resin buildup.
• Evidence: Isopropyl alcohol and salt are effective for deep cleaning glass. See our full bong cleaning guide.
• Evidence: An ash catcher traps ash and debris, keeping percolators free from clogs.

Follow this checklist for a perfect session every time.

Before Use: A 6-Step Checklist

1. Inspect Glass: Briefly check the tree perc arms for any signs of damage from shipping.
2. Rinse Clean: Rinse the entire piece with warm water to remove any dust.
3. Fill to Level: Add water using the steps outlined above to activate both percs.
4. Test Draw: Take a pull without the bowl to check water levels and splashback.
5. Seat Bowl: Place the included 14mm male bowl securely into the joint.
6. Add Ice: Drop a few ice cubes into the ice catcher for maximum cooling.

After Use: Immediately empty the dirty water and rinse the piece with hot water. This prevents resin from drying inside the percolators and makes future cleaning much easier.

A consistent routine of inspection, proper filling, and post-session rinsing ensures optimal performance.

• Evidence: Checking water levels before use prevents both splashback and harsh, unfiltered hits.
• Evidence: Emptying water immediately after a session is the top tip for easier cleaning.
