Frequently asked questions
What is a perc on a bong?
It's short for percolator, the bubbling filtration chamber that breaks smoke into small bubbles to cool and smooth it before you inhale.
What does a perc do?
By splitting the smoke through water into many small bubbles, it cools the smoke and filters it, giving a smoother, less harsh hit.
Are more percs better?
More percs give smoother, cooler hits but add drag and are harder to clean, so it's a trade-off depending on preference.
