Helix 8.75" Flared Bong with Fixed Downstem

Grav labs Helix 8.75" Flared Bong with Fixed Downstem - A Quick Intro

This Grav Labs Helix bong has a fixed fission downstem that diffuses smoke within the straight tube. Ideal for those who prefer to have a little less water in their bongs, but 2” of water is highly recommended in this one.

At 8.75” tall, the 60mm tubing doesn’t seem much. However, once you light up that bowl, you’ll have a stack of smoke that will give you that recreational or medicinal effect that you’re looking for. Probably even more. Although it looks top-heavy, the wide, thick base provides adequate balance and support to keep your Helix perc upright and stable. 

Another good plus is that you can exchange the 14mm Helix™ Taster® Bowl with a quartz banger so you can use this as an awesome dab rig.

Top 5 Grav labs Helix 8.75" Flared Bong with Fixed Downstem Features 

Helix Venturi Chamber

The Helix bong is crafted with a Venturi chamber, which has a funnel or a choke path that allows changing the speed of smoke. As a result, you’ll see a swirling vortex of smoke within the Venturi chamber. What you get is a smooth rip that has the pure flavor of your herb or flower.

Fission Percolator

The Fission Percolator is specifically designed to create bubbles that help filter out toxins and unwanted resins from your herb mixture. The result is a cleaner, smoother, more potent hit since the smoke is properly cooled and filtered.

5mm Borosilicate Glass

This water pipe was designed with high-quality borosilicate glass. This type of glass is created by adding silica to the glass while it is being formed. The result is a material that is durable and highly resistant to heat and thermal shock.

Fixed Downstem

This Helix Flare bong has a permanent connection between the bowl and the percolating water in the base. The 90-degree angle of this fixed grommet stem allows for better diffusion and an easier clean since there are fewer moving parts to worry about.

Unique Design

The Grav Labs Flared Bong is the perfect blend of form and function. Not only was it designed with high-performance in mind, the exceptionally interesting build of this piece will certainly stand out in any glass collection.
