Sprinkler Percs 101: Engineering a Smoother Hit

Published on August 8, 2017 at 4:56 PM

Looking for a unique way to cool your smoke? If you’re tired of harsh hits that leave your throat burning, the Sprinkler Perc is one of the most efficient designs in the industry. It’s specifically engineered to break down smoke into smaller bubbles, resulting in a cooler, smoother draw.

 

How the Sprinkler Perc Works

The design is instantly recognizable, resembling a firework with anywhere from 4 to 50 arms shooting out from a central hub.

  • The Physics of Diffusion: The primary goal of any percolator is "diffusion"—the process of breaking smoke into smaller surface areas so it can be rapidly cooled by water.

  • The Bubble Effect: The sprinkler design forces smoke through these many tiny arms, generating a massive amount of bubbles. The more bubbles produced, the more contact the smoke has with the water, and the smoother the resulting hit.

  • The Bounce: Because of the way the arms are positioned, the sprinkler perc often creates a "bouncing" effect where the smoke and water circulate dynamically through the body of your rig.

 

Why Choose This Style?

If you prioritize optimal diffusion and want a smooth, effortless pull, the sprinkler perc is a top-tier choice. By increasing the surface area of the smoke, it effectively removes harshness, making it a favorite for those who value a refined smoking experience.
