DICHRO CYCLINER GALAXY BONG FLOWER BOWL

What Specs Make This Bowl A Solid Choice?

Understanding the details helps ensure this bowl is the perfect match for your piece and your style. We designed every part of this bowl, from the joint size to the material, for a great experience.

What Makes Dichroic Glass So Special?

Dichroic glass is more than just colored glass; it's a high-tech material first developed for NASA. It is made by stacking super-thin layers of metals and oxides, which gives the glass a special ability to show different colors from different angles. When you turn the bowl in your hand, you'll see a cool shift in colors and a deep, starry-sky effect—that's the "galaxy" in its name. This makes each piece look unique and adds a vibrant style to your bong that plain glass cannot match. It's a piece of art that works.

Why Is The Built-In Handle Important?

The small glass horn on the side of the bowl is a simple but key feature for safety and ease of use. When it's time to clear the chamber of your bong, you need to lift the bowl to let fresh air flow through. Touching a freshly used bowl can burn your fingers. The handle gives you a cool, safe spot to touch, letting you control airflow and clear your hit comfortably every time. It also helps prevent accidental drops that can happen when grabbing the edge of a hot bowl.

• Evidence: Dichroic glass appears to change colors depending on how you look at it.
• Evidence: The handle gives you a secure grip for clearing your bong.
• Evidence: Made from heat-resistant borosilicate glass to handle regular use.

What Is The Best Way To Pack This Flower Bowl?

Getting the best results from your Dichro Cycliner bowl is simple. Packing it the right way gives you an even burn and smooth airflow. Start with coarsely ground dry herb—if it's too fine, it might pull through into the water. A screen is optional but can help keep your piece cleaner. Follow these easy steps for a perfect session.

1. Check for Cleanliness: For the best flavor, start with a clean bowl. Make sure the air hole at the bottom is clear.
2. Grind Your Herb: Use a grinder to break down your flower into a consistent, coarse grind. This helps it burn evenly.
3. Pack Lightly at the Bottom: Gently put a small bit of herb at the bottom, just enough to cover the hole without packing it down.
4. Fill the Bowl: Add more ground herb on top until you have the amount you want. Keep the pack light and airy, not pressed down.
5. Place and Light: Put the 14mm male joint into your bong's female joint. Light only one corner of the bowl to save your herb and get more flavor.
6. Clear with the Handle: When you're ready, lift the bowl using the glass handle to clear the chamber.

• Evidence: A coarse grind helps stop material from pulling through the bowl.
• Evidence: Using the handle means you don't have to touch the hot glass.

How Do You Clean A Dichroic Glass Bowl?

Keeping your Dichro Galaxy bowl clean is key to protecting its bright look and ensuring pure flavor. Regular cleaning stops resin from building up, which can make the dichroic effect look dull and clog the airway. Cleaning is simple. For a quick clean, use a cotton swab to wipe out the bowl after each use. For a deep clean, follow these steps.

1. Put the bowl in a sealable plastic bag or container.
2. Pour in 91%+ isopropyl alcohol until the bowl is covered.
3. Add a tablespoon of coarse salt to act as a gentle scrubber.
4. Seal the bag and shake it gently for 1-2 minutes. For tough buildup, let it soak for 30 minutes.
5. Rinse well with warm water and let it air dry completely before using it again.

• Evidence: Isopropyl alcohol is great for dissolving sticky resin buildup.
• Evidence: You should avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the dichroic layers over time.
