This compact 7.5-inch recycler rig from Green Flower provides exceptionally smooth, cool, and flavorful hits. It uses a showerhead percolator and a constant water-cycling path to prevent splashback, making it a great choice for desktop use.
This single uptake recycler rig is designed to deliver the smoothest and most flavorful experience from your concentrates. By constantly cycling water, it cools vapor and prevents splashback, while the showerhead percolator creates a dense screen of bubbles for maximum diffusion. Its compact size and stable base make it a reliable and eye-catching addition to any setup.
Is This the Right Recycler Rig for You?
A single uptake recycler is a type of dab rig that uses one dedicated tube to pull water and vapor from the main chamber up into a second chamber. Gravity then "recycles" the water back down. This continuous loop cools the vapor multiple times, filters out impurities, and prevents any water from splashing into your mouth.
This design provides a smooth, satisfying chug with lower drag compared to more complex multi-uptake systems. It ensures every hit is fresh, full of flavor, and comfortable to take.
Understanding the specs is key to knowing how this rig will perform. We've broken down each feature to show you the direct value and benefit it brings to your sessions.
The joint size, angle, and percolator type directly impact performance and compatibility. This rig's 14mm female joint at a 90-degree angle is the industry standard for pairing with flat-top and opaque-bottom bangers, giving you many options for customization.

| Approx. 7.5" Height | Provides a compact, easy-to-handle form factor. | Fits comfortably on your desk without taking up too much space. |
While many rigs look good, this one pairs its eye-catching design with two powerful features: a high-diffusion showerhead percolator and a well-tuned single uptake recycler path. Together, they work to solve the two biggest problems in dabbing: harshness and splashback.
Imagine pushing smoke through a single large hole versus hundreds of tiny ones. The showerhead percolator works like the latter. As vapor enters the perc, it's forced through dozens of small slits, breaking it down into a flurry of tiny bubbles. This process dramatically increases the vapor's surface area touching the water, resulting in rapid cooling for a noticeably smoother hit.
The single uptake arm is the engine of the recycler. It creates a vacuum that pulls both water and vapor up and out of the main chamber, separating them from the splash zone. This not only provides a second stage of cooling but also acts as a natural splashguard. The water then returns to the bottom, ready for the next cycle, ensuring a clean and dry hit every time.
Choosing the right rig depends on your preferences for function and design. See how the Single Uptake Recycler compares to other popular styles we carry at Honeybee Herb to find your perfect match.
While all these rigs are designed for concentrates, they offer different experiences. The single uptake provides a classic, low-drag chug, while an incycler offers a more dramatic vortex inside the main chamber. Consider what type of function you enjoy most.

| Primary Benefit | Smoothness & No Splash | Vortex Function & Flavor | Massive Diffusion | Classic & Simple |
| Best For | Users wanting cool, low-drag hits. | Enthusiasts who love watching the vortex. | Those who prioritize maximum bubbling action. | Users wanting a simple, no-frills setup. |
Proper setup is essential for achieving the best performance from your recycler. Follow these steps to dial in the water level and enjoy perfect function from the very first use.
Finding the sweet spot for your water level is easy. Too little water reduces filtration, while too much can increase drag. Start here and adjust to your personal preference.
6 Steps to the Perfect Session:
Keeping your recycler rig clean is the best way to ensure it performs well and preserves the flavor of your concentrates. Regular maintenance prevents buildup in the small pathways.
For best results, rinse your rig with hot water after each session to prevent reclaim from hardening. For a deep clean, use a mix of Isopropyl alcohol (91% or higher) and coarse salt. Plug the openings and shake it hard to dislodge residue from the percolator and recycler arms. Rinse thoroughly with warm water until all alcohol and salt are gone.
This rig is a fantastic starting point. Pair it with a high-quality 14mm Quartz Banger and a matching Carb Cap to get the most out of every session. Explore our full collection of Dab Rigs to see all available styles.
