What is a Nucleus bong?

A Nucleus bong is a borosilicate glass water pipe that pulls dry herb smoke through water before you inhale. The water cools the smoke and takes off the harsh edge.

The piece most people mean is the Nucleus 14" Beaker Bong. It stands 14 inches tall on a wide, flat base, which keeps it steady on a crowded table. Shoppers search for it as "Nucleus 14in beaker bong", as a Nucleus beaker bong, or by the style name, 14 inch beaker bongs.

Bong joints come in three standard sizes: 10mm, 14mm, and 18mm. Your bowl, downstem, and piece all need the same number. New to glass terms? Start with bong vocabulary, then read any listing here without guessing.

Who makes Nucleus glass?

What else does Nucleus make?

Nucleus makes more than bongs. The brand also builds e-nails and attachments for concentrate setups, plus replacement parts like the Nucleus Replacement Downstem.

A downstem is the tube that carries smoke from the bowl into the water. A removable one soaks separately, which makes deep cleaning easier. If you run an e-nail or a quartz banger, dab nails, dabbers and accessories cover the nails, carb caps, and tools those setups need.
