Water pipes & bongs
by Tsunami Glass
The Barrel Showerhead Drum Honeycomb Bong 20'' is a triple-percolator water pipe from Tsunami Glass that filters your smoke three separate times before it reaches your lips. Standing 20 inches tall with two chambers, three barrel filters, a central drum percolator, and a honeycomb disc, this is the kind of glass that turns heads and delivers hits so smooth you forget you're smoking. Available in Green, Amber, and Blue — pick the colourway that suits your setup and get ready for a noticeable step up in filtration.
| Variant | SKU | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Green | HS2139 | Deep forest green accents through the glass — shows water level clearly |
| Amber | HS2138 | Warm honey tone that hides resin build-up a touch longer between cleans |
| Blue | HS2137 | Classic cool blue — the most popular colourway for good reason |
All three variants are identical in function, dimensions, and included accessories. The colour difference is purely aesthetic — the glass thickness, percolator design, and joint size are the same across the board.
You're getting a complete, ready-to-use setup straight out of the packaging. No hunting around for a compatible bowl or downstem — Tsunami Glass has sorted that for you.
The bowl is a standard 14mm male fitting, so if you ever want to swap it out for a different style or pick up a spare, any 14mm female accessory will slot right in.
Here are the hard numbers. We've pulled these directly from the product data and the manufacturer's listing so you know exactly what you're getting.

Most bongs give you one percolator and call it a day. The Tsunami Barrel Showerhead Drum Honeycomb Bong gives you five filtration points across three distinct stages — and you can genuinely feel the difference on your first pull. The smoke enters the lower chamber and passes through three small barrel filters, each cut with precision slits that break the smoke into tiny bubbles. More bubbles means more surface area in contact with water, which means more cooling and more filtration happening at once.
From there, the smoke rises into the drum percolator — a cylindrical chamber that forces it through another round of water diffusion. By the time it hits the honeycomb disc (a flat glass plate riddled with dozens of small holes), you're inhaling something that barely resembles what left the bowl. It's cool, it's smooth, and the flavour actually comes through instead of being buried under harshness. We've pulled on plenty of bongs with single tree percs or basic downstems, and the difference with a triple-perc setup like this one is night and day. You taste your herb, not combustion.
The ice catcher is the cherry on top. Drop a few cubes into the neck and the already-cool smoke gets an extra chill before it reaches your mouth. On a warm afternoon, that ice-cold draw is genuinely pleasant — almost refreshing, if you can say that about smoking.
A 20-inch triple-perc bong is not a grab-and-go piece. It's heavy, it's tall, and it takes a bit more effort to clean than a simple beaker. All those percolators that make the smoke so smooth? They also collect residue in hard-to-reach spots. You'll want to rinse it with warm water after every session and do a proper clean with isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt at least once a week. If you're after something low-maintenance for quick sessions, a smaller beaker bong or a simple straight tube might suit you better. But if you want the smoothest hits your lungs have ever experienced and you don't mind the upkeep, this is the piece to get.
Understanding what's happening inside the Barrel Showerhead Drum Honeycomb Bong helps you appreciate why it hits the way it does. Each stage serves a specific purpose, and the order matters.
Stage 1 — Barrel filters (x3): Three small cylindrical filters sit at the base of the lower chamber. Each barrel has slits cut into its walls. When you draw, smoke is forced through these slits and into the water, breaking it into dozens of fine bubbles. This is where the bulk of the cooling happens — the smoke goes from hot and harsh to noticeably cooler in a fraction of a second.
Stage 2 — Drum percolator: The central drum sits between the two chambers. It acts as a secondary diffusion point, catching any larger bubbles that made it past the barrels and breaking them down further. The drum's cylindrical shape creates a natural swirl effect that increases contact time between smoke and water.
Stage 3 — Honeycomb disc: A flat glass disc perforated with dozens of tiny holes. This is the final filter before the smoke enters the upper chamber and the mouthpiece. The honeycomb catches the last traces of particulate and adds one more layer of water diffusion. The result is smoke that's been filtered three times over — cool, clean, and noticeably smoother than anything a single-perc piece can deliver.
Tsunami Glass has built this bong with a reassuringly thick glass construction. You can feel the weight when you pick it up — it's substantial, not flimsy. The extra-sturdy base has a wide footprint that keeps the piece stable on a table or countertop, which matters when you're dealing with 20 inches of glass and water. Knock a top-heavy bong and you're sweeping up shards. This one sits planted.
The joints are well-ground, the percolators are cleanly fused into the chambers, and the overall finish is tidy. No rough seams, no wobbly fittings. For a piece at this price point, Tsunami Glass has delivered solid craftsmanship. Compared to a basic Chinese import beaker, the difference in glass thickness and percolator precision is immediately obvious when you hold them side by side.
If you're weighing up whether you actually need a triple-perc bong or whether a simpler piece would do the job, here's a straight comparison.
| Feature | Tsunami Barrel Showerhead Drum Honeycomb 20'' | Standard Beaker Bong (single downstem) | Single-Perc Straight Tube |
|---|---|---|---|
| Percolation stages | 3 (barrel + drum + honeycomb) | 1 (downstem diffusion) | 1 (tree perc or showerhead) |
| Smoothness | Exceptionally smooth — barely any throat hit | Decent, but noticeable harshness on bigger rips | Good, noticeably smoother than a beaker |
| Flavour clarity | Excellent — terpenes come through cleanly | Moderate — some flavour lost to heat | Good |
| Ice catcher | Yes | Sometimes | Sometimes |
| Ease of cleaning | Requires regular attention — multiple chambers | Easy — simple shape, few parts | Moderate |
| Portability | Low — 20 inches, heavy, fragile | Moderate | Moderate |
| Best for | Home sessions where smoothness is the priority | Daily driver, easy maintenance | Balance of smoothness and simplicity |
The Tsunami 20'' is the best option if you want the smoothest, coolest hits possible and you're happy to keep it as a centrepiece at home. If you need something you can toss in a bag or clean in 30 seconds, a beaker bong is the more practical choice. Different tools for different situations — neither is wrong.
Complete your setup: You'll want a decent grinder to get a consistent, medium-ground herb that lets air flow through the bowl properly. A four-piece metal grinder with a kief catcher pairs well with a piece like this. And if you're doing weekly deep cleans (you should be), grab a set of bong cleaning plugs and some isopropyl alcohol — it turns a 20-minute job into a 5-minute one.
We've been stocking glass for over 25 years, and the question we get most about elaborate percolator bongs is: "Is it actually worth it over a basic bong?" The honest answer is yes — if smooth hits matter to you. The first time you pull on a triple-perc piece after using a simple beaker for years, it feels like someone turned the harshness dial down to zero. The smoke is cool enough that you barely feel it in your throat, and you actually taste the flavour profile of your herb instead of just tasting smoke.
The flip side? These pieces demand respect. Don't leave dirty water sitting in them overnight. Don't skip the weekly iso clean. And for the love of your carpet, don't put a 20-inch glass bong on the edge of a coffee table. The extra-sturdy base on this Tsunami piece helps, but physics is physics. Give it a stable, flat surface and treat it like the investment it is.
One more thing we've noticed: the Amber variant hides water discolouration slightly better than the Blue or Green. If you're the type who sometimes forgets to change the water (no judgement), the Amber gives you an extra day of grace before it starts looking grim. The Blue shows everything — crystal clear when clean, but unforgiving when it's not.
Fill both chambers so the water level sits about 1–2 cm above each percolator. Pour water in through the mouthpiece and test-draw without the bowl. If water reaches your lips, you've overfilled. If you don't see bubbles forming at the barrel filters, add more. Getting the level right takes one try — you'll hear the percolators working when it's correct.
Yes. Replace the included 14mm dry herb bowl with a 14mm quartz banger or dab nail (sold separately) and you're set. The triple percolation works brilliantly for concentrates — it cools the vapour without stripping flavour. Just use less water than you would for dry herb, as concentrates produce less volume of vapour.
Pour out the water, add coarse salt and 90%+ isopropyl alcohol, plug the openings with cleaning plugs or cling film, and shake vigorously. Let it soak for 10–15 minutes for stubborn residue. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. The honeycomb disc and barrel filters need extra attention — swirl the solution through them rather than relying on soaking alone. Clean weekly for the best performance.
The extra-sturdy base with its wide footprint makes it more stable than most 20-inch pieces. It won't tip from a gentle nudge. That said, always place it on a flat, stable surface — no carpet, no wobbly side tables. The weight of the glass plus water keeps the centre of gravity low, which helps. Just don't push your luck with precarious placements.
It has a 14mm female joint. The included dry herb bowl is a 14mm male fitting. Any 14mm male accessory — ash catchers, bangers, alternative bowls — will be compatible. It's the most common joint size on the market, so finding replacement parts or upgrades is straightforward.
Absolutely. The triple percolation already cools the smoke significantly, but ice takes it further. With 3–4 cubes in the catcher, the smoke feels almost cold when it hits your lips. It's especially noticeable on larger draws. The downside: ice melts and raises the water level, so check it periodically and pour off excess water if needed.
A single showerhead gives you one stage of diffusion. This Tsunami piece gives you three distinct stages — barrel, drum, and honeycomb — each breaking the smoke into finer bubbles. The result is measurably smoother and cooler. The trade-off is more glass to clean and a higher drag resistance. If you prefer effortless airflow, a single perc wins. If smoothness is king, the triple perc is the clear choice.
