Water pipes & bongs
by Tsunami Glass
The Side Neck Shower Head Dab Rig 10'' is a borosilicate glass water pipe from Tsunami Glass that pairs an angled side neck with a showerhead percolator for smooth, well-filtered hits from both dry herbs and concentrates. At 10 inches tall with a tubular body and flared mouthpiece, it sits comfortably on any desk or coffee table — and the slanted neck means you don't have to crane over the piece like you're bobbing for apples. Available in Green and Blue, it's one of those rigs that looks odd in photos but makes complete sense the moment you pick it up.
| Variant | SKU | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Green | HS2150 | Deep forest-green accent on the neck and base |
| Blue | HS2149 | Ocean-blue accent — slightly easier to spot resin build-up against the lighter glass |
Both variants are identical in function and dimensions. The colour sits in the glass itself, not painted on, so it won't chip or fade over time.

Complete your setup: You'll want a decent torch lighter and a dab tool if you're running concentrates through this rig. For dry herb sessions, a set of glass screens keeps ash out of the showerhead perc and saves you cleaning time. A bottle of isopropyl cleaning solution and some coarse salt will keep the glass sparkling — the showerhead chamber collects residue faster than a straight tube, so stay on top of it.
Most 10-inch rigs force you to hunch over the mouthpiece or tilt the whole piece towards your face. Neither is comfortable, and both increase the chance of knocking something over — especially if you're passing it around. Tsunami Glass solved this by angling the neck off to the side at roughly 45 degrees. The result: you hold the rig upright on a flat surface, lean in slightly, and the mouthpiece meets your lips without any awkward contortion. It's one of those "why doesn't everyone do this?" moments.
The flared mouthpiece deserves a mention too. It creates a gentle seal against your lips rather than a narrow tube you have to purse around. That means less effort per draw and no sore lips after a longer session. Small detail, big difference over an evening.
The showerhead percolator sits inside the base chamber, directly above the fixed downstem. When you draw, smoke or vapour is forced down through the stem and up through multiple small slits in the showerhead disc. Each slit creates a separate stream of tiny bubbles, and every bubble is a point of contact between the smoke and the water. More contact means more cooling and more filtration of particulates before anything reaches your throat.
Compared to a basic diffused downstem, the showerhead perc produces noticeably smoother hits. You can actually feel the difference — there's less scratch at the back of the throat and a cooler temperature on the inhale. The trade-off? More percolation means slightly more drag. This isn't a free-flowing straight tube; there's a gentle resistance on each pull. Most people find that resistance pleasant — it slows the draw, which naturally cools the smoke further. But if you're used to wide-open airflow, it'll take a session or two to adjust.
We'd be doing you a disservice if we didn't flag a couple of things. First: the fixed downstem. It's sturdy and keeps the rig's profile clean, but it means you can't swap it out for a different diffusion style later. You're married to the showerhead setup. For most people that's fine — it's a solid percolator — but customisation junkies should know upfront.
Second: cleaning. That showerhead disc with all its tiny slits? Resin loves to clog them. If you let build-up sit for more than a few sessions, airflow drops off noticeably. A weekly soak in isopropyl alcohol (90% or higher) with coarse salt solves it in minutes, but you do need to stay disciplined. We've seen plenty of customers come back complaining about poor draw on percolator rigs, and 9 times out of 10 it's just a dirty perc.
Third: at 10 inches tall with an angled neck sticking out to the side, this rig has a wider footprint than a standard straight tube of the same height. It's not huge, but make sure your shelf or tray can accommodate the extra width. Knocking the neck against something while it's drying is the most common way glass like this breaks.
| Feature | Side Neck Shower Head Rig 10'' | Standard Straight Tube 10'' |
|---|---|---|
| Neck angle | Angled (~45 degrees) — no hunching | Vertical — requires leaning over |
| Percolation | Showerhead (multiple slits, high filtration) | Typically diffused downstem only |
| Draw resistance | Moderate — slowed by perc | Low — open airflow |
| Cleaning effort | Higher — showerhead slits clog faster | Lower — fewer internal parts |
| Footprint | Wider due to angled neck | Narrow, vertical |
| Compatibility | Dry herbs + concentrates | Usually dry herbs (banger sold separately) |
| Comfort | Flared mouthpiece + ergonomic angle | Standard tube mouthpiece |
If you want the smoothest possible hit and don't mind a bit of extra cleaning, the Side Neck rig wins. If you prefer wide-open airflow and minimal maintenance, a straight tube is simpler. We'd pick this Tsunami Glass piece for concentrate sessions especially — the showerhead perc really shines when cooling dab vapour, and the angled neck keeps you at a comfortable distance from a hot banger.
It forces smoke or vapour through multiple small slits submerged in water, creating dozens of tiny bubbles. Each bubble cools and filters the smoke before it reaches your lungs. The result is a noticeably smoother, cooler hit compared to a rig with no percolation or just a basic downstem.
The angled neck lets you keep the rig flat on a table while the mouthpiece naturally meets your lips at a comfortable angle. No hunching, no tilting the piece. It looks unconventional, but it's genuinely more ergonomic — especially during longer sessions.
Yes. Swap between a standard glass bowl for dry herbs and a quartz banger or nail for concentrates. Just make sure whatever accessory you buy matches the rig's joint size. The showerhead perc works well with both, though we find it particularly effective at cooling concentrate vapour.
Rinse with warm water after every session. Do a proper clean with 90%+ isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt once a week — or sooner if you notice the draw getting tighter. The showerhead slits clog faster than a simple downstem, so don't skip maintenance.
Not for most people. A fixed downstem means one fewer part to break or lose, and it keeps the rig's internal geometry consistent. The downside is you can't swap it for a different diffusion style. If you're happy with the showerhead setup — and most users are — it's a non-issue.
Fill until the showerhead slits are submerged by about 1–2 cm. Do a test pull without lighting anything — if water splashes up to your lips, pour some out. Too little water and the perc won't filter properly; too much and you'll get an unpleasant mouthful.
Borosilicate is the same type of glass used in lab equipment. It handles heat well and resists thermal shock far better than regular soda-lime glass. That said, it's still glass — a hard knock against a tile floor will crack it. Treat it with basic respect and it'll last years.
