GILI GLASS BEAKER BONG & ASH CATCHER SET
Starting off strong, this gorgeous two-piece set includes a premium 15-inch beaker bong, and an ash catcher, both of the Gili Glass brand. The beaker bong itself has got it all: Amazing durability from the 7mm thick glass, a sleek design, and unbeatable filtration. It features both a diffused downstem as well as a tree percolator, which delivers some amazing hits on their own. However when you add in the matrix perc from the ash catcher, you’re added a whole extra step of purification that further cools the hit, as well as keeps the inside of your bong sparkly-clean for longer. For those who need their hits extra cooled, there’s lots of room in the neck to pack ice over the ice pinch.
This piece has a simple sophisticated design, featuring a clear body with matching color accents, and the attractive Gili Glass logo. Choose your favorite color between periwinkle blue, royal blue, and a deep teal. Another subtle, yet handy feature is on the neck: A thick glass ridge protrudes over the percolator, providing a sturdy grip for whenever you pick it up, which is helpful due to the heavy weight of this piece. If you love big rips that are always smooth, you don’t want to miss out on this surprisingly-affordable Gili Glass Beaker Bong & Ash Catcher Set!

This pipe is just as classy as the bong, but great for quick hits at home or on the go!

Concentrate connoisseurs, we didn’t forget about you! The Dab Daze Stash Box is somewhat simple without unnecessary bells and whistles, but that doesn’t mean it skimps on unique style and durability. Starting out, a sturdy dab rig from Cali Cloudx is the focal point of this set. It has a distinctive shape and style that is distinctive from other dab rigs, without anything to complicate the experience. It features a nice bell-shaped chamber, sat on top of a separated base that is wide and supportive for the piece. Inside the chamber, you've got a showerhead percolator that works wonders in terms of filtration and cooling for vapor. However, it won’t filter you dabs to the point of loading their potency, so you can be sure your hits will be potent and terpene flavors remain strong.
Instead of an average quartz banger nail, this kit is equipped with a powerful terp sluper nail and marble set! Not only does it make your dab rig look at least twice as cool, it also serves a useful purpose. The construction of the nail, as well as the placement of the multi-sized marbles function to optimize vaporization. As you heat the nail with your torch, the marbles simultaneously heat up, trapping much more heat within the nail. This ensures every last bit of wax is vaporized, letting nothing go to waste for super potent hits. Lastly, the glass dab tool adds a nice artistic touch to this set. It has a unique staff-like design, with a pointed tip for easy wax collection.
