The moment you get into the world of dabbing, you realise it is something more than hitting that mouthpiece. It’s a way of chill, or more specifically a way of chilling life – which shouldn’t be compromised at any cost. IC Glass understands that emotion of dabbers and hence crafted this amazing swiss perc bong with a circular perc with tiny holes, resembling a swiss cheese. All that a IC Glass swiss perc bong delivers is – precise airflow, flavorful hits & calm pulls. Now let’s dig deeper into what a swiss perc bong is and how much surprising it appears before the dabbers.

What is a Swiss Perc Bong?

A swiss perc bong is an out of the box innovation in the genre of cannabis industry. It resembles a swiss cheese. Because this bong carries large & precision-cut holes arranged in a circular pattern, just like that of a swiss cheese. 

That’s why it's called a swiss perc bong. This is one of the most innovative pieces among percolator bongs, which has set a new trend in the industry of dabbing essentials. With a controlled diffusion & a well-balanced filtration, these bongs are able to deliver smoother & cooler hits. Well, there are several perc other than swiss perc.  

Types of percs other than swiss perc

• Honeycomb perc

• Showerhead perc

• Disc perc

• Matrix percolator 

• Circ perc

• UFO perc

• Fritted disc

• Inline perc

• Turbine

How does a Swiss Perc Bong Works?

Now how a swiss perc actually works depends on the entire airflow dynamics of your water pipe. When you start inhaling through a swiss perc, the smoke first travels down the downstem, then reaches the water chamber. Slowly, the pressure builds up, and the smoke and it passes through those swiss cheese like holes. What these swiss perc holes do is that it increases the surface area. As a result, the smoke gets diffused more efficiently. Thereafter you can see a gentle micro-bubble formation that eventually cools down the vapour. Finally the filtered vapor then comes up through the mouthpiece. With a Swiss perc, you can have open airflow, while delivering proper filtration. 

Why Choose Swiss Percs for Dabbing?

Having a proper airflow is more important than design. Excessive filtration, which happens with dense slit-based designs, works great in reducing terpene levels. Now let’s explore in-depth, why swiss perc bongs are preferred by a wide range of smokers.

• Get Balanced Diffusion 

This is one of the biggest reasons why you should choose a swiss perc bong. The circular holes which you see in a swiss perc breaks down the smoke into multiple streams, as it passes through the water chamber. In this way, a swiss perc aids in even distribution of vapor, resulting in a balanced diffusion. As a result, you get smoother & cooler hits in every drag. 

• Controlled Flashback 

This flashback problem happens when the smoker or water moves too harshly back towards the mouthpiece, when you take a strong hit. But when you use a swiss perc bong, those circular holes in the perc smoothly release the pressure and as a result, the vapor gets diffused evenly, even if the smoke and water rush upwards towards the mouthpiece. Due to this controlled flashback function, your hit becomes more stable and smoother. 

• Smooth inhale 

The swiss perc also helps in smooth inhale. As smoke gets diffused through the swiss perc, the heat is reduced, which results in smoother hits. 

• Cleaner airflow path 

Cleaner airflow is another added advantage of a swiss perc bong. Instead of narrow slits, a swiss perc depends on circular holes. As a result, the vapor moves right through the downstem, then into the water chamber and moves up through the main chamber more directly. 

What does a real Swiss Perc consist of?

• Not slits, but precision-built circular holes

• Thick and durable glass

• Clean airflow between chambers 

• A water chamber for fine diffusion 

• Stable base and strong construct 

How to use a Swiss Perc Perfectly for an awesome dabbing session?

1st Step: Fill the water chamber with enough water 

2nd Step: Include a quartz banger into the downstem by removing the flower bowl 

3rd Step: Gently heat your setup first and allow it to cool down 

4th Step: Start your sesh with smoother & cooler hits 

5th Step: Clean your swiss perc setup regularly and well maintain it. 

FAQs

Does a Swiss Perc Bong really filter smoke or is it just for looks?

Yes, a swiss perc is actually made for filtering smoke and definitely not just for looks. What those disc perc holes do, is that they allow smoke and water to pass through the water chamber, which ultimately cools down the smoke, and lets you have smoother hits. 

How do I clean a swiss perc bong perfectly?

First, clear the water chamber, add some salt and isopropyl alcohol. Shake the bong gently to clean the disc perc, main chamber, and the downstem. Rinse well and make sure that the tiny holes of the swiss perc are clear and left with no residue. 

Are Swiss perc bongs better for dabs or for flowers?

They are good for both dabs and flowers. Their disc perc actually improves airflow and diffusion, the moment you hit that mouthpiece. 

Swiss perc and fab egg – Are they same or different?

They are completely different types of bongs. They have different perc designs, chamber structure & airflow behavior.

A complete swiss perc bong cleaning guide

If you want to make the most out of your swiss perc bong, you need to clean it regularly and perfectly. Here’re some steps which will make your swiss perc bong cleaning super easy and perfect:

• Clear the bong first

Empty your bong first. Remove stored old water from your bong. Keeping old water in bong for too long can affect both taste and hygiene. 

• Add some salt & isopropyl alcohol

After you empty the bong, fill it with isopropyl alcohol and add some coarse salt to it. This alcoholic solution helps break down the residue and the salt works as a scrubber which neatly cleans the inner surface of your bong. 

• Now gently cover the outlets of your bong and shake

Gently cover the bong opening/outlet and shake the bong with the poured solution. This helps the bong get cleaned more precisely along with the disc perc, downstem, swiss holes, and the main chamber. The said process will not create much pressure on the glass, but your bong will get deeply cleaned from inside. 

• Soak the entire setup (if needed)

If your setup has not been cleaned for long and there’s a heavy build up of residue, make sure that you soak your entire bong setup in that alcoholic solution for some time. This will help clear the residue buildup or any kind of stuck residue within the bong. 

• Rinse thoroughly with warm water

Rinse your bong carefully &gently with warm water. Continue rinsing until all leftover residue, salt & alcohol are gone. 

• Check the swiss perc holes carefully

Make sure that those tiny holes on your Swiss perc are clean. This is necessary for your bong to have a good airflow. 

• Let the entire setup dry completely

After all your cleaning sessions are done, let it dry completely before filling it up or using it for the next sesh. 

End-of-the-Day Thoughts: Is a Swiss Perc Really Worth Buying?

Yes, especially if you want your sesh to be super cool & smooth. Because, this swiss perc bong breaks down the smoke into tiny bubbles and you get that super cool, well-diffused smoke. There’s a special honeycomb recycling chamber, which makes it very unique and allows you to have continuous cooling even with massive straight pulls.
