The VapoRig by EHLE — Glass Water Filtration for Your Portable Vaporiser
The VapoRig is a compact glass water pipe designed specifically to pair with portable vaporisers, cooling vapour through water filtration for smoother, more flavourful draws. Built by EHLE — a German glassware brand with a reputation for clean, functional design — this 15cm rig bridges the gap between your handheld vape and the creamy, terpene-rich hits you get from a proper water piece. Think of it as a docking station for your vaporiser, minus the fuss of a full-size bong.
Why Run Your Vaporiser Through a VapoRig Water Pipe
Vapour straight from a handheld device is already cleaner than combustion smoke, but it can still feel dry and warm — especially at higher temperature settings. The VapoRig solves that in about two seconds: attach your vaporiser to the bowl joint, fill the chamber with water, and inhale. The vapour passes through the water before it reaches your lungs, cooling it down and adding a creamy texture that makes each draw noticeably smoother.
The real payoff is flavour. When vapour cools, terpenes come through more clearly. That sharp, peppery hit from a high-temp session softens into something you can actually taste — the citrus notes in a limonene-heavy strain, the pine from pinene, the earthy undertones you miss when you're wincing at dry heat. We've had customers come back and say it changed how they think about vaping entirely. That's not marketing fluff — water filtration genuinely rounds out the experience.
There's also a social angle. Unlike a traditional bong where everyone's stuck with the same bowl and lighter, the VapoRig lets each person dial in their preferred temperature on the attached vaporiser. One mate likes it low and terpy at 170°C, another wants thick clouds at 210°C — everyone gets their way without repacking anything.
Build and Design — What You're Actually Holding
At 15cm tall, the VapoRig sits lower than a pint glass. The flat, circular base keeps it planted on a table or desk — no wobbling, no anxiety about it tipping over during a session. The glass itself has that satisfying weight EHLE is known for: thick enough to feel solid in your hand, thin enough to stay elegant. You can feel the quality when you pick it up. It's not some flimsy novelty piece.
The angled mouthpiece is a small detail that makes a real difference. Instead of hunching over or craning your neck, you lean in naturally. It's the kind of ergonomic touch that separates a rig you use once from one that lives on your coffee table permanently.
One honest limitation: the bowl joint size matters. Most portable vaporisers fit with a standard adapter, but you'll want to double-check the joint diameter of your specific device before ordering. A 14.5mm or 18.8mm adapter covers the majority of popular vapes on the market, but oddball sizes exist. If you're unsure, drop us a message — we've matched hundreds of vapes to rigs over the years.

Complete your setup: The VapoRig pairs brilliantly with any portable vaporiser in the shop. If you haven't picked one yet, the Storm Vaporizer Pen or the Flowermate range both slot onto glass rigs without hassle. Grab some pipe cleaners and isopropyl alcohol while you're at it — keeping the glass clean is half the battle for maintaining flavour.
How the VapoRig Compares to a Standard Bong
A regular bong combusts your herb. You light it, it burns, and you inhale smoke filtered through water. The VapoRig skips combustion entirely — your vaporiser heats the material to release active compounds without burning plant matter. The water filtration then cools and smooths what's already a cleaner draw.
| Feature | Standard bong | VapoRig with vaporiser |
|---|---|---|
| Heat source | Lighter / combustion | Vaporiser heating element |
| Vapour vs smoke | Smoke (combustion byproducts) | Vapour (no combustion) |
| Temperature control | None | Adjustable per user via vaporiser |
| Terpene clarity | Masked by smoke | Enhanced by water cooling |
| Height | Typically 25–45cm | 15cm — compact and portable |
| Cleaning frequency | Heavy resin buildup | Lighter residue — easier to maintain |
The residue difference alone is worth noting. Combustion leaves sticky tar and resin inside glass within a few sessions. Vapour leaves a fraction of that — mostly condensed moisture and trace plant oils. You'll still need to clean the VapoRig regularly (more on that below), but it stays cleaner for longer than any bong you've used before.
How to Use the VapoRig
- Fill the VapoRig chamber with cold water — just enough to submerge the downstem by about 1–2cm. Too much water and you'll get splashback; too little and you lose the filtration benefit.
- Attach your portable vaporiser to the bowl joint. Make sure the seal is snug — a loose connection means air leaks and weak draws. Use an adapter if your vaporiser's mouthpiece doesn't match the joint size directly.
- Load your vaporiser's chamber with your material of choice and set your preferred temperature. Lower temps (around 170–185°C) favour terpene flavour; higher temps (190–210°C) produce denser vapour.
- Press the power button on your vaporiser and wait for it to reach temperature — most devices take 15–30 seconds.
- Place your lips on the angled mouthpiece and inhale slowly. You should see bubbles forming in the water chamber as vapour passes through. Draw gently — the VapoRig's compact size means you don't need lung-busting pulls.
- Exhale and enjoy. Adjust the vaporiser temperature between draws to find your sweet spot.
- After your session, detach the vaporiser and empty the water. A quick rinse with warm water after each use keeps the glass clear. For a deeper clean, soak in isopropyl alcohol for 30 minutes once a week.
