The Ducky Bong puts a rubber duck inside a glass tub chamber — bath-time staging on a working water pipe. It sits on a sturdy base with an angled mouthpiece, and sells for $59.99.
The tub chamber
Building the chamber as a tub gives the water somewhere wide and shallow to sit, and gives the duck something to float in as the piece is used. The scene only works because the water is doing its normal job.
A wide, low chamber is also a stable one. The mass sits near the table rather than up in a neck, which is the main reason novelty glass survives daily handling or does not.
The angled mouthpiece
Angling the mouthpiece off the vertical keeps your face clear of the bowl and makes the piece easier to pass without turning it around. On a bong meant to be shared and looked at, that small ergonomic choice is what keeps it in rotation rather than on a shelf.
Who it's for
This is a collectible centrepiece that still works as a bong — good for someone who wants a piece that gets a reaction and is not precious about using it.
For other character glass at this tier, the Lucky Money Cat makes the cat's arm the bowl intake and the Ninja Bong runs a pagoda body over a large showerhead perc. More on the HEMPER brand page.
Keeping it clean
Percolated glass traps resin where a cloth will never reach. Change the water every couple of sessions, and once a week plug both ends and soak the chamber in isopropyl and coarse salt. Shake in short bursts rather than one long rattle, then rinse with warm rather than hot water so the glass never takes a thermal shock.
