GLASS FLOWER BOWL (FB-5)

What Specs Make This Bowl A Solid Choice?

Every detail of the Fb-5 bowl is designed to improve your experience. From the material we chose to the functional clamp lid, these features provide real benefits for daily use, storage, and cleaning.

These specifications combine to give you a reliable, low-maintenance, and secure bowl piece that protects your herb and improves your setup.

• Borosilicate glass is a strong, lab-grade material known for durability.
• The airtight seal is perfect for pre-packing a bowl for travel.
• A 14mm male joint is the most common standard in the industry.
• The frosted finish provides a better grip compared to smooth clear glass.

What Makes The Frosted Galaxy Finish Special?

Unlike standard clear glass, the Fb-5 has a frosted finish that we create through a sandblasting technique. This gives the bowl a soft, matte texture that is great at resisting fingerprints and smudges. The galaxy print adds a unique visual flair, with patterns that can seem to change color in different light, making each bowl feel special.

How Does The Airtight Clamp Lid Improve Storage?

The attached clamp lid is the Fb-5's most practical feature. A strong metal hinge and a silicone gasket create a fully airtight seal when closed. This system locks in the freshness of your dry herb, prevents spills, and completely contains odors. It's a great solution for anyone who likes to pack a bowl ahead of time or needs discreet, on-the-go storage.

This dual purpose as both a bowl and a sealed container makes it a very versatile accessory for any collection.

• The frosted finish gives the bowl a premium, tactile feel.
• The clamp lid's silicone seal makes sure no air gets in or out.
• This design prevents spills, making it great for portability.

When Should You Use A 14Mm Bowl Piece?

A 14mm bowl piece like the Fb-5 is the go-to standard for a reason. Its 1.5-ounce capacity is perfect for solo sessions or use within a small group, making sure you get a fresh pack each time. It provides balanced airflow—not too tight, but not so wide that it hurts flavor. The Fb-5 is an excellent daily driver for medium-sized bongs and a great travel companion because of its secure lid.

This bowl is the top choice for balanced performance, fitting most non-specialized water pipes on the market.

• Ideal for personal sessions where saving herb is important.
• The 14mm joint offers balanced airflow for flavor and smoothness.
• Its capacity is enough for a single user without being too much.

How Do You Clean A Frosted Glass Bowl Safely?

Cleaning your Fb-5 bowl is simple, but the frosted finish needs a gentle touch to keep its matte texture. Avoid rough materials or sharp tools that could scratch the surface. For a deep clean, place the bowl in a solution of 91%+ isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt, seal it in a bag, and shake gently. Use a soft brush or pipe cleaner for stubborn spots. Pay close attention to the hinge and silicone gasket, cleaning them with a cotton swab and alcohol.

Proper care will ensure the frosted finish and airtight seal last for years, keeping your bowl looking and working like new. Pair it with an ash catcher to keep your water pipe cleaner between deep cleans.

• Soak the bowl in an isopropyl alcohol and salt solution.
• Use soft brushes, not metal tools, on the frosted surface.
• Clean the clamp lid's silicone seal separately to keep it in good shape.
• Rinse the bowl well with warm water after cleaning.

How Can I Check If This Bowl Fits My Piece?

The Glass Flower Bowl Fb-5 has a 14mm male joint. To confirm it will fit your water pipe, check your piece's joint. To quickly check the size, a U.S. dime is about 18mm wide. If the opening on your rig is noticeably smaller than a dime, it is likely a 14mm joint. This bowl will fit perfectly into any 14mm female joint.

What Should I Inspect Upon Receiving My Bowl?

Once your Fb-5 bowl arrives, give it a quick check. Look for any cracks or chips that might have happened during shipping. Open and close the clamp lid to be sure the hinge works smoothly and the seal sits flat against the rim. Finally, check the ground glass joint for a uniform, slightly rough texture, which ensures a good seal with your piece.

Doing these quick checks ensures your new bowl is ready for use and meets our quality standards right out of the box.

• The Fb-5 fits into a 14mm female joint, which is the most common size.
• Check the clamp lid hinge and silicone seal when it arrives.
• The ground joint should feel slightly coarse for a proper air seal.
