 E Bomb Glass Recycler Pendant

This week’s Piece of the Week speaks to not one, but two super-hot trends in errl pipes right now- pendant rigs and recycler percs. Say hello to the E Bomb Glass Recycler Pendant: part heady, part scientific, total sexy. I’ve been ripping one all week and this thing is absolute bhombs. It hits fat enough to be a PotW for performance alone, but the fact that I can wear it?! Yeh, Flava Flav’s clocks are cool, but a dab-able necklace? Now that’s what I call the surreal life.

The tight air spaces and micro footprint are ideal for oils, but the real genius is in E Bomb’s custom designed disc perc recycler. Smoke, when being pulled through many water pipes, has a habit of wall climbing due to its natural tendency to find the path of least resistance. Depending on the design and configuration of the perc, this can be a real pain in the ass, especially when the smoke misses points of diffusion altogether (see my previous article on percs All Percs Not Equal).

E Bomb decided to address this issue with a scientific solution. Each recycler begins with a direct injection 14mm fitting that routes smoke directly to a chamber with a single disc that has a large center punched hole. While creating constriction, the placement of the hole also centrally forces the smoke into a secondary chamber, which is capped this time with a multi-hole disc diffuser. This is where the real snap, crackle and pop goes on folks. What I’m saying is- this thing really STACKS bubbles for such a small rig. In fact, it moves water so well there is dual-hole punched splashguard up on top in anticipation of the deluge. This is hands-down my favorite part of the pipe; it resembles an old school coffee percolator. Dank and dense, errl smoke milks nice and thick in there, popping against the dome until the recycling finally takes place. Hit your recycler as hard as you want- dual side-mounted exhaust tubes send all the water right back down to the can! That’s right, nothing like a little physics to save your dab from ending with a sappy sip of errl-vian.

Though I reviewed the Pendant model, E Bomb recyclers are available in larger sizes for harder dabbing and tabletop presentation. Custom orders are also available in a variety of heady models with “millie,” color and marble options available. If you wear one rig this season it should be an E Bomb Recycler Pendant. #lightersup

About the Artist: E Bomb

From “Dead lots” to “Dot Com”: when it comes to weed, E Bomb has done it all and I do mean ALL (he’s even done time for his love of Mary Jane). His resume is among the most comprehensive I’ve come across in the MMJ space. In a most fortunate twist of fate, Diablo got to Dab with E Bomb and hear his tale over a righteous sesh. Over more than a few fat dabs of Fweedom’s cancup winning Super Lemon Haze Shatter I learned that…

E Bomb was born and bred in the Wildest of the Wild West- Las Vegas, Nevada. As a young man he fell victim to a pot possession charge and was put through the Boot Camp program, which included 3-5 years of intense supervised probation. Despite his early run in with authorities and it still being “the felony years” as he recalls them, he knew deep down he wasn’t wrong about weed. Fast forward and he wasn’t just still into buds, he was ALL IN. Working glass and selling tubes for the headshop of none other than Weedist legend Tommy Chong, E Bomb was at the ground floor of the heady glass movement showcased in Degenerate Art. It was during this time that he also became very active politically, serving as vice president for Las Vegas Norml from 96’-98’, while still on probation.

Not too shabby huh? How proud am I to report that it was actually in my beloved Seattle that E-Bombs glass journey first ignited? A personal twist of fate and a glass blower in need of a lift to Seattle first brought E Bomb to the 206 and the torch- a career for a ride, essentially. As with so many others, he lit that torch and never looked back, even when it meant temporarily living out of his van. He did what needed to be done to do what he loves. To say it has taken him on a journey would be a tremendous understatement. Name a major city on the Western seaboard and I’d bet a gram of wax E Bomb has blown or sold glass there. His blowing glass on the open road stories were so goddamn cool we almost ran out of time before he told me he’d spent NINE YEARS in Humboldt County! There’s only two things in Humboldt County, crazy grass and even crazier glass… a fitting end to an epic smoke session with an artist whose work is trumped only by his super good vibes.
