Inspired Glass by Inspired Artists: The Ronin Glass Way
Nothing is more disappointing than the feeling of being ripped off. This can happen in the smoking community, with companies using cheaper, thinner glass for better margins or inserting unnecessary percs to hike up prices. There has to be a thought process behind making a glass pipe. You can’t just throw a bunch of different shapes together and expect it to work. Ronin Glass makes it a point to have interesting concepts that actually work, so they aren’t gimmicky. Useless innovations aren’t really innovative, so Ronin Glass has a purpose to every nuance and piece that not only gets your attention but works fluently.
Taking a cue from the samurais in which the brand gets its name from, Ronin Glass strives to create unique water pipes and glass accessories that combine intricate styling with precise functionality. The only rule they follow is that the pipes can’t truly be experiments as customers deserve a finished product. Although some of their designs seem random and a bit complicated, they are fully functional. All Ronin Glass is made with high quality glass and if you can wrap your head around the style, you can find a beautiful daily driver worth the price.
“Daito” Modular Three Piece UFO Perc Bong
It doesn’t get much more interesting than a bong that you have to build. The “Daito” Modular Three Piece UFO Perc Bong separates into three parts. If this bong didn’t come apart it would be quite the headache to clean, but luckily this is avoided by each section pulling apart from one another. The pieces include a bent neck, a middle chamber with a UFO perc, and the base which holds the 18mm female joint and another UFO perc. Each of these parts are held in place by a keck clip. It is not a good idea to use this bong without the keck clips in place. The filtration caused by both ufo percs is fantastic. If you don’t want to go through the whole setup of the “Daito” Modular Three Piece UFO Perc Bong, you can simply insert the mouthpiece into the bottom portion for a quick hit.

“Yebira” 8” Inline Barrel Perc Recycler
Recyclers can be overwhelming with the various tubes and chambers leading to God knows where, making you wonder if they are recycling at all. With the entirely clear “Yebira” 8” Inline Barrel Perc Recycler, you can see where your vapor is going. Entering the dab rig by way of an inline barrel perc, your vapor will then follow the curved tubing above the main chamber or through the long stem connected to the base. This kind of airflow can produce diffused vapor for a much better taste. Reasonably priced as well, the “Yebira” 8” Inline Barrel Perc Recycler is an elegant and effective scientific glass oil rig.

“Chigiriki” Layered Recycler with Matrix Perc
With a very convenient size and simple process, the “Chigiriki” Layered Recycler with Matrix Perc is a perfect go-to for vaporizing your favorite concentrates. Although it might be a bit too small for some people, the joint and neck bend away at a 45° angle to keep you further away from your nail and flame. The recycling process is caused by the glass arm sticking out of the main chamber and going back into the dab rig closer towards the flared mouthpiece. Considering the vapor is already entering the “Chigiriki” Layered Recycler by way of its matrix perc, the taste should be great even before the recycling process begins.

“Gunbai” Honeycomb to Showerhead Ashcatcher
Ronin Glass takes the same approach with accessories as they do with their water pipes. The “Gunbai” Honeycomb to Showerhead Ashcatcher is sleek and packed with useful percs.

Ronin Glass has made this ashcatcher in multiple versions so it can fit your bong or dab rig perfectly. Choose between joint sizes, angles, and even color accents.
