The High Times x Pulsar Straight Tube Recycler is a 14.75-inch borosilicate bong carrying the official High Times logo. It runs a straight-body recycler with a disc percolator and a three-pinch ice catcher, and it ships with a 14.5mm male herb slide with a decorative handle. $133.99.
Three stages of cooling, not one
Most bongs cool smoke once, in the water. This one does it three times, and the stages are genuinely separate jobs rather than marketing tiers.
The disc perc splits the smoke stream into small bubbles for water contact. The recycler then loops that water back through the chamber so the contact keeps happening for the length of the pull instead of ending after one pass. The ice catcher drops the temperature again on the way up.
Why the ice catcher still matters
Water strips harshness. It does not make smoke cold — it makes it wet and slightly cooler. Those are different outcomes, and it is why a heavily percolated bong with no ice can still deliver a warm pull.
Three pinches in the neck hold cubes above the waterline, so the smoke passes through chilled air after the water has already done its work. On a piece nearly fifteen inches tall there is room for that final stage without a wet mouthpiece.
Height is a feature here
At 14.75 inches this is a full-size piece and it is meant to be. Vertical distance is cooling you get for free — every inch between the bowl and your mouth is time for the smoke to shed heat.
It also means this is a desk piece, not a travel one. A straight tube at this height wants a stable surface and does not want to be moved often.

The collab, and the alternatives
Officially licensed High Times glass is a small category, and Pulsar is the maker doing most of it. The logo is the reason some people buy this and irrelevant to everyone else; the disc perc and recycler are what you are actually paying for.
For the other side of the same partnership, the Grateful Dead x Pulsar Space Your Face straight tube is the licensed alternative. Within Pulsar's own range, the Triple Jellyfish Perc stacks percolation instead of recycling it. For a plain straight tube at a lower spend, Glasscity's coloured straight tube is the option.
