Water pipes & bongs
by EHLE
The EHLE Funnel Bowl Joint 14.5 is a handcrafted glass bowl piece that adds genuine character to any water pipe with a 14.5mm female joint. Each one is individually made with coloured glass accents — think swirled dots, curled horns, and flecks of glitter — so no two bowls look exactly the same. EHLE sends us a mixed batch, and we pick one at random for you. It's a lucky dip, and honestly, that's half the fun.
We carry 3 variants of this bowl, and you'll receive one at random. Here's what's in the mix:
| Variant | SKU | Style Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Handle Red | HS1217 | Red-accented glass with a small handle — easy grip, easy lift |
| Dots Pink | HS1216 | Pink dotted pattern across the bowl surface |
| Glitter Black | HS1215 | Dark glass with embedded glitter flecks that catch the light |
You can't choose which one you get — but all three look proper sharp sitting in a clear glass rig. The surprise element is part of the deal, and we've yet to hear anyone complain about what arrived.

Complete your setup: if your bong needs a new downstem to match, check out the EHLE downstems in the same 14.5mm joint size. And if you're after a full rig upgrade, browse the EHLE glass bong range — they're built by the same German glassblowers who made this bowl, so the fit is spot on.
Most water pipes ship with a plain, clear glass bowl. It works. Nobody's arguing that. But after a while, every rig starts looking the same — clear glass on clear glass, sitting on a shelf collecting dust between sessions. A coloured funnel bowl is the cheapest way to make your piece look like you actually care about it.
The funnel shape itself is worth talking about. Compared to a standard push bowl or a flat-bottomed cone, a funnel bowl gives you a wider opening at the top that tapers down toward the joint. That means you can pack a decent amount without it sitting too deep and restricting airflow. We've found funnel bowls pull more evenly than narrow cones — less relighting, less fuss. The wider rim also makes it easier to corner your bowl if you're sharing, which your mates will appreciate.
One honest limitation: because these are handcrafted, there's slight variation in wall thickness and colour intensity between pieces. That's the nature of hand-blown glass — it's not a factory defect, it's the point. But if you're the type who needs exact symmetry, know that each bowl is a one-off. The Handle Red variant, for instance, has a small glass handle on the side that makes lifting the bowl out of the downstem much easier — genuinely useful if your joint gets sticky with resin. The Dots Pink and Glitter Black variants don't have that handle, so they sit a bit more flush. All 3 weigh next to nothing in your hand — light enough that you won't stress about them tipping your piece over.
We've been stocking EHLE glass since the early days of the shop. They're a German brand that's been blowing borosilicate glass for decades — proper glasswork, not the thin stuff that cracks if you look at it wrong. The 14.5mm joint size on this bowl fits roughly 70% of the medium-sized bongs we carry, so odds are good it'll work with yours. If you're not sure, measure the inner diameter of your downstem opening with a ruler — 14.5mm is about the width of a pencil eraser.
The random selection thing trips some people up. We get it — you might have your heart set on the Glitter Black. But the reality is all 3 variants look great in person, and the surprise element has turned into something customers actually enjoy. We've had people order two just to see what combination they'd get. At this price point, it's a low-stakes gamble with no bad outcome.
It fits any water pipe with a 14.5mm female joint. That's the standard size on most medium bongs. If your piece uses an 18.8mm joint (common on larger rigs), you'll need a joint adapter or a different bowl size.
No — the design is selected at random from the 3 available variants: Handle Red, Dots Pink, or Glitter Black. All feature handcrafted coloured glass accents, so whichever you get will look good.
A funnel bowl has a wide opening that tapers toward the joint, giving you a larger packing surface and more even airflow than a narrow cone piece. It's easier to corner and pulls more smoothly.
EHLE uses borosilicate glass, which handles heat and minor bumps well. That said, it's still glass — dropping it on a tile floor will end badly. The wall thickness varies slightly between pieces because they're handcrafted, but none of them feel flimsy.
Soak it in isopropyl alcohol with coarse salt for 15–30 minutes, then shake gently and rinse with warm water. For stubborn resin, use a pipe cleaner or cotton bud on the inner walls. Clean it after every few sessions to keep airflow smooth.
Yes — it's a small glass loop on the side of the bowl. It gives you a grip point for lifting the bowl out of the joint without burning your fingers. Genuinely useful, not just decorative.
