A bubbler does the same thing for you that a bong does: it filters the smoke through water. Basically, a bubbler is just a spoon (or sometimes a sherlock) with a chamber under the bowl that is big enough to fill with water.

i personally think that sherlock bubblers and hammers look the coolest. i dont know if there is any advantage or disadvantage though.
Look at the picture of the bubbler I posted. :)Quote:

There is a stem tube (not removable) that goes down from the top of the bowl, down into the bubble part. When you smoke, it goes through that water cooling the smoke. :)
It's pretty much a cross between a pipe and a bong. You can use it dry or with water, doesn't matter.
just my advice i perfer a nice sherlock to say a sidecarb/hammer. i like to see the bowl while im burning, so thats why i tend to like sherlocks but thats just me. ive hit some awesome hammers out there and usually hammers are a little cheaper i think. just make sure its inside out or atleast has some thicknes to it. nothing worse than buying a bubbler with thin glass. and once again its already been said but id say find a local shop so you can pick the glass up, inspect it, touch it, critisize it, put it up your mouth (dont slobber over it) and just get a feel for it before you put down the money for it. good luck man and let us know what you end up going for!
