This compact 7-inch recycler from Phoenix Star delivers maximum filtration in a small package. Its constant water-looping action cools vapor and stops splashback, making it perfect for smooth, flavorful hits.
Phoenix Star designed its 7-Inch Recycler for those who want the pure flavor and smooth hits of a high-end water pipe in a compact, manageable size. This rig uses an external chamber and intake tube to create a continuous loop, repeatedly filtering vapor through water. The result is a cooler, less harsh inhale with significantly reduced splashback.
Crafted from durable borosilicate glass, its 7-inch frame is an ideal choice for desktop use without taking up too much space. We carry each rig complete with a 14mm quartz banger, which provides excellent heat retention and a clean taste profile right out of the box.

If you're looking for a rig that balances advanced filtration with a simple, effective design, the Phoenix Star recycler is an excellent fit.
The Phoenix Star Recycler Rig isn't just about its looks—its key features are engineered to solve common dabbing problems like harsh vapor and water splash.
Unlike a standard rig, a recycler continuously moves water and vapor through separate chambers. As you inhale, vapor is pulled from the main chamber into a second chamber before draining back down. This looping action extends the vapor's contact time with water, resulting in superior cooling and filtration for a noticeably smoother hit. It also works as a built-in splashguard.
The 7-inch height strikes a perfect balance between performance and portability. It’s large enough to house an effective recycler system and produce satisfying clouds, yet small enough to be handled comfortably, cleaned easily, and stored away without taking over your space. This makes it a versatile piece for both daily use and travel.
This rig comes ready for action with a 14mm male quartz banger. Flavor purists often prefer quartz because it is chemically inert and won't interfere with the taste of concentrates. Including one with the rig saves you the time and expense of finding a compatible, high-quality banger, ensuring a perfect fit and great performance from your first session.
Every component works together to create a smooth, flavorful, and convenient dabbing experience.

The Phoenix Star Recycler provides superior filtration and splash prevention, making it ideal for users who prioritize smoothness above all else.
Keeping your recycler channels clean is essential for performance. We recommend a weekly cleaning for regular users. To clean it, first empty the old water and rinse with warm (not hot) water to loosen residue. Then, pour a mixture of 91%+ isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt inside. Plug the openings and shake gently, allowing the solution to flow through all recycler tubes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water until all the alcohol is gone, then let it air dry completely.
This simple routine prevents clogs and ensures your rig continues to deliver pure, clean flavor every session.
