8.5 INCH HONEYCOMB PERC RIG
About the Product
This 8.5-inch rig is a compact water pipe with a honeycomb perc for extremely smooth hits. Its size balances powerful filtration with easy handling, making it a great daily driver.
Our 8.5 Inch Honeycomb Perc Rig is an efficient water pipe made for dabbers who want great smoothness and flavor. Its practical height is large enough for powerful diffusion but small enough for easy handling. The core of this rig is its honeycomb percolator—a flat disc with dozens of tiny holes that chop vapor into a storm of microbubbles.
The result is a cooler, well-filtered hit that is less harsh but still has great taste. We built this rig from high-quality borosilicate glass for durability and a clean flavor. It is an ideal choice for new dabbers and experienced users who need a reliable rig for daily use.
This rig combines a compact design with high-performance filtration for smooth, flavorful dabs every time.
- Has a honeycomb percolator for maximum bubble diffusion.
- Stands 8.5 inches tall, balancing performance with easy handling.
- Made from durable, heat-resistant borosilicate glass.
- Fits common accessories with its 14mm female joint.

Features For A Superior Dabbing Experience
How Does The Honeycomb Perc Guarantee Smoothness?
A honeycomb perc is very efficient. Unlike other percs that push vapor through a few large slits, a honeycomb disc diffuses it through dozens of tiny holes. This action creates a huge number of small bubbles, increasing the surface area of the vapor that touches the water. This fast and total cooling turns a harsh hit into a smooth one. The design also creates very little drag, so you can inhale easily without feeling restricted.
Is This Rig Stable During Use?
Yes, this rig is designed with a wide and sturdy base. This gives it a low center of gravity, which greatly reduces the risk of it tipping over while you heat the banger. The solid foundation gives you confidence and helps ensure a safe dabbing session.

How To Use Your Honeycomb Perc Rig
What Is The Best Water Level For A Honeycomb Perc?
To get the best function, fill the rig with enough water to cover the honeycomb disc by about a quarter-inch. The goal is to cover all the holes without overfilling, which can cause splashback. A quick test inhale before heating will show if you have it right—you should see strong bubbling across the whole disc without water reaching your mouth.
What Are The Steps For A Perfect Dab?
Using your honeycomb rig is simple. Following these steps will help you get a great session every time and keep your gear fresh.
6-Step First Use Guide
- Fill: Add water until the honeycomb disc is just covered.
- Heat: Use a torch to evenly heat the quartz banger until it glows slightly.
- Cool: Let the banger cool for 30-60 seconds. This step is key for flavor.
- Dab: Apply your concentrate to the inside of the banger.
- Cap & Inhale: Place a carb cap on the banger and inhale slowly and steadily.
- Clean: After your dab, use a cotton swab to clean residue from the banger.
Proper water levels and a consistent process are key to unlocking the best performance from your rig.
- Fill water just above the honeycomb disc to activate the perc.
- Letting the banger cool helps preserve terpenes and flavor.
- Cleaning the banger after each use prevents buildup and protects taste.

Care And Maintenance Guide
How Do You Clean A Honeycomb Perc Plate?
Cleaning a honeycomb perc is easier than it might seem. For a deep clean, empty the old water and fill the rig with a mix of 91%+ isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt. Plug the openings and shake it hard for a few minutes. This lets the salt scrub the inside and the perc plate. Then, rinse it completely with warm water until all the alcohol and residue are gone.
What’s The Best Way To Prevent Clogging?
The best way to deal with a clogged perc is to prevent it. The most effective habit is to change the water every day. Fresh water stops resin from building up in the tiny holes. Also, giving the rig a quick alcohol rinse once a week will keep it working like new and ensure airflow is never blocked.
Regular, simple cleaning is the key to maintaining your honeycomb rig's performance and longevity.
- Use an isopropyl alcohol and salt mixture for a deep clean.
- Shaking helps the salt scrub hard-to-reach areas like the perc plate.
- Changing the water daily is the best way to prevent buildup.
