How to Pack a Bubbler

How to Pack a Bubbler
Posted by CANNASaver on Wednesday, 01 February 2023 in Canna Blog

So, you found yourself browsing in your local pipe shop or just so happened to be looking through our glass pipe section. Then you see it – a bubbler. 

At this point, you're thinking, what even is a bubbler? Or, if you aren’t as new to cannabis, thinking that if you already have a pipe and bong, why would you need a bubbler? How do you pack a bubbler?

Bubblers are a tried-and-true kind of water pipe used for smoking your favorite strains of cannabis. They are similar to a bong but typically smaller and more portable. 

Bubblers can provide a smoother, more enjoyable smoking experience than traditional pipes, with less harshness on the throat and lungs. 

Speaking of benefits, let’s get a little deeper into using bubblers for smoking and how to pack a bubbler.

Benefits of Using a Bubbler

There are a few main reasons why using a bubbler to smoke your flower is a great option.

  • Portability: Bubblers are typically smaller and more portable than bongs, making them a good option for on-the-go cannabis use.
     
  • Smooth Smoke: Bubblers use water to filter and cool the smoke, resulting in a smoother and less harsh smoking experience compared to traditional pipes or joints.
     
  • Versatility: Bubblers can be used with both dry flower and concentrates, allowing for a wide range of cannabis consumption options.
     
  • Taste: Bubblers can enhance the flavors and aromas of different cannabis strains, as the water helps to release and amplify the terpenes in the plant material.
     
  • Reduced Smell: Bubblers can produce less smoke and odor compared to traditional smoking methods, making them a good option for more discreet cannabis use.

Materials For Packing A Bubbler

Okay, here’s what you’ll need to pack your bubbler…

  • Your Favorite Cannabis Strain: You will need a small amount of ground cannabis flower to pack into the bowl of the bubbler.
  • Your Bubbler: You will need a cannabis bubbler, which is a water pipe that has a small bowl for holding the cannabis, a stem, and a chamber filled with water.
  • Water: You will need enough water to fill the chamber of the bubbler.
  • Lighter: You will need a lighter to ignite the cannabis in the bowl.
  • Ashtray: You will need an ashtray or other receptacle to catch the ash and debris from the burnt cannabis.
  • (Optional) Grinder: A grinder can be used to break up the cannabis flower into smaller pieces, making it easier to pack into the bowl of the bubbler.
  • A Screen: A small metal screen can be placed in the bowl of the bubbler to help prevent debris and ash from being inhaled.

Step-By-Step: How To Pack A Bubbler

Now that you have gathered all of the supplies needed, packing your bubbler is a fairly simple process.

It only involves a few basic steps. 

Here's how you can do it:

  1. Grind Your Flower: Start by grinding your herb to a medium-fine consistency. You can use a hand grinder or an electric grinder for this step.
  2. (Optional) Place a Screen: If you have a small metal screen, place it in the bowl of the bubbler to help prevent debris and ash from being inhaled.
  3. Fill Your Bubbler’s Bowl: Next, take the bowl of your bubbler and fill it with the ground herb. You want to fill it to about 2/3 to 3/4 full, leaving some space for airflow.
  4. Pack the Herb: Use your fingers or a packing tool to gently pack the herb down into the bowl. You want to pack it just enough to create a solid, even layer of herb.
  5. Add the Water: Fill the bubbler with water until it reaches just above the percolator. Be careful not to overfill the bubbler, as you don't want water to splash into your mouth when you take a hit.
  6. Test the Draw: Before you light up, take a few test draws to make sure the airflow is smooth and consistent. If the draw is too tight, you may need to pack the herb more loosely or adjust the water level.
  7. Light Up and Enjoy: Once everything is set up, light up the herb and take a slow, steady hit. Make sure to inhale deeply and exhale slowly to get the most out of your bubbler. 
  8. Clean Your Bubbler: After you're done smoking, be sure to clean your bubbler to prevent the buildup of resin and debris that can affect the taste and quality of your smoke.

How to Clean a Bubbler

Okay, now that you’re done smoking, keep it nice and tidy! Here’s how to keep your bubbler its cleanest:

  1. Firstly, empty the water from the bubbler and remove any loose debris using a pipe cleaner or a cotton swab. 
  2. Next, fill a container with rubbing alcohol and kosher salt and soak the bubbler for about an hour. 
  3. Shake the container occasionally to dislodge any stubborn residue (that's what the kosher salt is there for). 
  4. Afterward, rinse the bubbler with warm water and scrub it with a soft-bristled brush.
  5. Repeat this process until the bubbler is entirely clean, then let it dry. 

Regular cleaning of your bubbler will make sure that it lasts long and provides a pure smoking experience.
