scientific terminology for each feature:
-
Stemline Diffused: A stemline percolator utilizes a series of small, vertically oriented tubes (the “stems”) extending from a central tube to diffuse smoke through a water chamber. This design promotes efficient filtration and cooling by increasing the interfacial surface area between the smoke and water.
-
Heavy Wall 50x5mm Boro Schott Tubing: The device is constructed from borosilicate glass (specifically, Schott glass, a type of borosilicate known for its thermal and chemical resistance), exhibiting a wall thickness of 5mm and an outer diameter of 50mm. This robust construction provides increased durability and resistance to thermal shock.
-
Half Moon Ice Catch:Â The ice catch, featuring a half-moon or crescent shape, is designed to hold ice within the water chamber. This allows for further reduction of smoke temperature through convective heat transfer with the ice, providing a cooler inhalation experience.
-
18mm Female/Male Joint: The device incorporates a standard taper joint, conforming to an 18mm inner (female) diameter for compatibility with various accessories and an 18mm outer (male) diameter on the included slide, allowing for a secure and airtight connection.
-
Inline Pop Rocks Perc: The inline percolator, characterized by a series of small, interconnected chambers or spheres (the “pop rocks”) arranged in a linear fashion, creates a highly turbulent flow regime within the water. This turbulence promotes efficient filtration and cooling by maximizing the contact area between the smoke and water.
-
Welded Stemline/Perc:The stemline and percolator are fusion-welded to the body of the device, creating a strong and seamless joint that enhances structural integrity and prevents potential leaks.
