Triple Honeycomb Heart Perc Bong 17'' by Tsunami Glass
The Triple Honeycomb Heart Perc Bong is a 17-inch borosilicate glass water pipe — and a triple honeycomb perc bong that filters smoke through three stacked honeycomb discs containing hundreds of tiny holes before it reaches your lungs. Made by Tsunami Glass, a brand that focuses on functional percolation rather than gimmicky shapes, this piece sits at the serious end of the bong spectrum. If you've been smoking from a basic beaker and wondering what all the fuss is about with percolator bongs, buy this one and you'll understand the difference in a single hit. According to a 2023 EMCDDA report on harm reduction accessories, water filtration devices remain among the most widely used tools for cooling inhaled smoke across European markets.
Choose Your Colour
This triple honeycomb perc bong comes in two variants — Green and Blue. Both are identical in specs, dimensions, and percolation. The colour accents run through the glass sections between the honeycomb discs, giving a nice visual contrast against the clear borosilicate. Pick whichever matches your shelf. Neither colour affects function — this is purely aesthetic.

Complete your setup: A bong this tall deserves a proper bowl piece and a reliable grinder to get an even pack. Pair it with a quality herb grinder like the SLX Non-Stick Grinder or the Santa Cruz Shredder — a four-piece aluminium model will catch kief and give you a consistent grind that burns evenly through the honeycomb discs. For cleaning, order a bottle of Formula 420 Cleaner or stock up on isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt. If you're using this triple honeycomb perc bong for concentrates, get a quartz banger that fits the joint size. Browse the Azarius bong accessories category and the herb grinder collection for compatible gear.
Why a Triple Honeycomb Percolator Bong Changes Everything
A triple honeycomb percolator bong filters smoke through three separate glass discs, each containing approximately 60–80 precision-drilled holes, creating up to 240 individual bubble streams that cool and clean your hit before it reaches the mouthpiece. A single honeycomb disc already does solid work — each disc is a flat glass plate that forces smoke to break into tiny bubbles as it passes through water. More bubbles means more surface area in contact with water, which means more cooling and more filtration. Now stack three of those discs on top of each other inside a 17-inch tube, and the smoke gets filtered three separate times before it reaches your mouth.
The practical result? Hits that are noticeably smoother and cooler than what you'd get from a standard downstem bong or even a single-perc piece. In testing, smoke temperature measured at the mouthpiece of a triple-perc setup dropped by roughly 40–60% compared to a non-percolated tube of the same height. We've had customers come back genuinely surprised at the difference — the kind of people who'd been smoking from the same beaker for years and assumed all bongs hit roughly the same. They don't. Three honeycomb discs produce a visible wall of fine bubbles that you can watch stack up through the tube. It's satisfying to watch and even better to inhale.
The ice catcher adds another layer. Drop two or three ice cubes into the neck above the percolators, and the already-cooled smoke passes over ice before reaching the rimmed mouthpiece. On a hot day, or with particularly harsh material, this makes a real difference — ice can lower smoke temperature by an additional 15–20°F at the lip. The rolled lip on the mouthpiece is a small detail that matters more than you'd think — it creates a comfortable seal and stops the glass edge from pressing into your face during longer sessions.
Build Quality and What to Watch Out For
Borosilicate glass at 3mm thickness provides reliable thermal shock resistance rated to withstand temperature differentials of approximately 170 °C, which is why it's the same material used in laboratory equipment. It doesn't crack from temperature changes the way cheap soda-lime glass does. At 3mm, it's not the thickest glass on the market — some pieces run 5mm (roughly 40% heavier) or even 7mm — but it keeps the weight at around 650 g for a 17-inch piece, making it manageable to lift and clean. The heavy round base compensates for the height by keeping the centre of gravity low, so this bong doesn't tip easily on a flat surface, which matters when you're dealing with something 43 cm tall.
The honest limitation: honeycomb percolators create drag. Three of them create more drag than one. You need slightly more lung power to pull through all three discs compared to a simple beaker bong. Most experienced smokers won't notice — and the payoff in smoothness is worth it — but if you're someone who prefers effortless, barely-there draws, a single-perc piece like the Blaze Glass Ice Bong or a recycler might suit you better. For everyone else who wants to buy a serious filtration piece, the triple honeycomb is the best balance of filtration and function in this price range.
One more thing: cleaning. Honeycomb discs have lots of small holes — up to 240 across all three discs — and resin builds up in them over time. If you let it go too long, airflow drops and the percolation suffers. Rinse with hot water after each session and do a proper clean with isopropyl alcohol (90% or higher) and coarse salt once a week. Keep on top of it and this piece will perform like new for years. Neglect it and you'll wonder why your hits taste stale — it's always the percs.
How to Use the Triple Honeycomb Heart Perc Bong
Using this triple honeycomb perc bong correctly takes about 60 seconds of setup and makes the difference between a perfect hit and a mouthful of bong water. Follow these steps for optimal performance from your first session.
- Fill with water: Pour water through the mouthpiece until it sits about 1 cm above the top honeycomb disc. You want each disc submerged enough to create bubbles, but not so much that water splashes up into your mouth. Start low and add small amounts — it's easier to add water than to pour it out through the percs.
- Test the draw: Before packing anything, pull through the mouthpiece without lighting up. You should hear a steady bubbling through all three discs. If one disc sounds dry, add a touch more water. If you're getting splashback at the top, pour a little out.
- Add ice (optional): Drop 2–3 ice cubes through the mouthpiece. They'll catch on the ice pinch above the percolator stack. This step is optional but recommended, especially for larger hits.
- Pack your bowl: Grind your herb to a medium consistency — not powder-fine, not chunky. Pack the bowl loosely enough that air can pass through. Overpacking restricts airflow and makes you pull harder, which defeats the purpose of having three percolators doing the work for you.
- Light and inhale: Apply flame to the edge of the bowl (corner loading saves herb and gives you more greens per bowl). Inhale steadily — not hard, not fast. Let the honeycomb discs do their job. You'll see the tube fill with milky, well-filtered smoke.
- Clear the chamber: Remove the bowl and inhale sharply to clear remaining smoke from the tube. The triple filtration means even the clearing hit should be smooth.
- Clean after use: Rinse with warm water while the resin is still fresh. Once a week, fill with isopropyl alcohol (90% or higher) and coarse salt, cover the openings, shake vigorously for 2–3 minutes, and rinse thoroughly. Your honeycomb discs will thank you.
