This process cools and filters every pull for exceptionally smooth hits.

Built on a wide, stable hourglass base, this piece is difficult to knock over, making it a reliable daily driver. The clear green borosilicate glass is not only durable but also lets you watch the percolation in action.

Two key design choices make this rig a standout performer: its percolator and its neck. Together, they create a system that prioritizes smooth, clean flavor.
A showerhead percolator is a glass dome with numerous small slits around its base. When you inhale, it pulls vapor down and forces it through these slits into the water. This action divides the vapor into many smaller bubbles, which dramatically increases the surface area that contacts the water. The result is rapid cooling and filtration, removing harshness before the vapor reaches you. This type of perc is known for delivering smooth hits without creating too much drag.
In a compact rig, the short distance from the water to the mouthpiece increases the risk of splashback. A curved neck solves this by creating an angled path. As bubbles pop, the angled tube catches any stray water droplets, preventing them from traveling up to your mouth. This simple fix ensures a comfortable, dry hit and lets you pull with confidence, even on a smaller piece.
The combination of a showerhead perc and a curved neck guarantees a session that is both smooth and splash-free.
This rig excels in a few key scenarios. Its compact footprint makes it a perfect choice for anyone with limited space on their desk or table. The efficient percolation is fantastic for flavor chasers who prefer low-temperature dabs, cooling the vapor just enough without muting the taste. It also serves as an excellent entry point for new dabbers, offering great function without the intimidating size of larger pieces. Whether it's your daily driver or a dedicated flavor rig, it delivers.
It's the perfect rig for flavor-focused daily use in any space.

Proper maintenance keeps your rig looking great and tasting fresh. Follow these simple steps for water levels and cleaning.
Fill the base with enough water to fully submerge all the slits on the showerhead percolator by about a quarter-inch. The goal is to create bubbling without overfilling. To test it, give a gentle pull without a banger attached. If water splashes near the neck, pour a little out. If the pull feels dry, add a little more. Finding this sweet spot is key to the best performance.
Showerhead percs can get clogged over time. For a deep clean, pour out the old water and add a mixture of 91%+ isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt. Plug the joint and mouthpiece, then shake vigorously for a minute or two, letting the salt scrub the inside. For stubborn buildup, let it soak for 30 minutes before shaking again. Rinse thoroughly with warm water until all residue is gone, then let it air dry.
Correct water levels and regular cleaning will ensure your rig functions perfectly for years.
Follow a simple routine to get the most out of every session and keep your rig in top shape.
This simple workflow ensures consistent performance and extends the life of your gear.
