Recycler Bongs & Dab Rigs

A recycler bong or recycler dab rig has two chambers joined by return tubes. When you inhale, water and vapor loop between the chambers and back again before reaching the mouthpiece, which gives extra filtration and a smooth, cool pull. Toker Supply stocks recycler and Klein recycler rigs from MJ Arsenal, Calibear, Human Grade, Borotech and Pulsar, with free discreet shipping in the USA.

How to Choose a Recycler

  • Use: most recyclers are built as dab rigs, but you can smoke dry herb in one by fitting a bowl that matches the joint.
  • Style: classic recyclers use side return tubes; Klein recyclers use a donut-shaped chamber; vortex styles spin the water for a visual effect.
  • Size: a mini recycler rig (5–7") keeps flavor tight for concentrates; 9"+ recyclers suit bigger pulls.
  • Water level: recyclers need exact water levels to cycle properly, so follow the fill line or product guidance.

Why Recycler Glass Is Popular

Watching water cycle through clear recycler glass is part of the appeal, but the real benefit is function. The constant loop keeps water moving, cools each hit and stops splashback from reaching your mouth. A dab rig recycler also keeps the airflow tight, which helps concentrate flavor.

Recycler FAQs

How does a recycler rig work?

Inhaling pulls vapor and water up into the top chamber. Some water then drains back to the base through return tubes, cycling the vapor through water again before it reaches you.

How much water goes in a recycler?

Fill just enough to cover the downstem or inlet, usually to just below the return tubes. Too much water stops it cycling and can splash; too little gives no recycling action.

Can I use a recycler as a bong?

Yes. Swap the banger for a dry herb bowl that fits the joint size. Smaller recyclers are better suited to concentrates.
