Hemper Ramen Cup Bong – 7" & 8.6" XL Glass Noodle Cup

The Hemper Ramen Cup Bong is a glass water pipe built to look like a cup of instant noodles — a clear cup body, an opaque yellow noodle top, and an amber glass chopstick standing out of it as the mouthpiece. It comes in a 7-inch regular with a diffused downstem perc and an 8.6-inch XL on 5mm glass with a showerhead percolator. Both use a recessed 14mm joint, so bowls carry across between them. Angies Boutique lists them at $59.99 and $119.99.

⚡ At-a-Glance Decision Summary

• What it is: A glass ramen-cup water pipe with a chopstick mouthpiece, in a 7" regular and an 8.6" XL.
• Both take the same bowls: Hemper publish a recessed 14mm joint on both sizes, so slides and spares move between them.
• Regular, $59.99: 7" tall, diffused downstem perc, clear cup with an opaque yellow noodle top.
• XL, $119.99: 8.6" tall, 3.9" wide, 5mm glass, showerhead percolator — and it ships with an opaque white 14mm ramen bowl with amber chopstick handles.
• The weight tells the story: Hemper ship the regular at 15.1 oz and the XL at 33 oz. The XL is more than double the glass.
• The XL is genuinely discounted: $119.99 against Hemper's own $149.99. The regular is not on sale at either shop.
• Flower only. Not built for concentrates.

🧠 Our Verdict

Buy the 7-inch regular if you want the ramen cup on a desk with a working diffused-downstem bong underneath it. Buy the 8.6-inch XL if you want the showerhead percolator and the 5mm glass, and note that it is the only one of the two where Hemper specify a bowl in the box. Because both sizes share the recessed 14mm joint, the upgrade path is real — bowls bought for one fit the other. The XL is also the size carrying an actual markdown.

Quick Summary

Both have a recessed 14mm joint. In stock in Los Angeles.

Hemper Ramen Cup Bong – 7" and 8.6" XL Glass Noodle Cup Water Pipe

Food-themed glass usually asks you to give something up. The shape gets in the way of the function, or the function is fine and the shape is barely legible. The Ramen Cup avoids both by putting the joke in the parts that were going to be there anyway: the cup is the chamber, and the chopstick is the mouthpiece.

Hemper publish real specs on both sizes, which is what makes the choice between them straightforward. The 7-inch runs a diffused downstem perc. The 8.6-inch XL swaps that for a showerhead percolator, widens to 3.9 inches, and steps the glass up to 5mm. The detail that matters most for anyone who owns accessories already: Hemper state a recessed 14mm joint on both sizes, so the bowls you have work on either. See the rest of the range in our bongs collection.

Summary: The Hemper Ramen Cup Bong comes in a 7" diffused-downstem version and an 8.6" XL with a showerhead perc, both on a recessed 14mm joint.

⭐ Who This Product Is For / Not For

Ideal for:

• Anyone who wants themed glass that still works as a daily flower piece.
• People who already own 14mm bowls — both sizes take them, so nothing extra is needed to get started.
• Buyers choosing the XL specifically for the showerhead percolator and 5mm glass.
• Collectors of the Hemper Ramen family, alongside the Ramen Bowl Hand Pipe and the Ramen Peak Top.
• Gift buyers — the design reads instantly and needs no explanation.

Not recommended for:

• Concentrate users. This is a flower piece; the 14mm joint would physically accept a banger, but the chamber and diffusion are tuned for smoke. The Ramen Peak Top is the concentrate version of this design.
• Travel. Neither size is portable — the Ramen Bowl Hand Pipe at $29.99 covers that job.
• Anyone wanting maximum filtration per dollar. Plain scientific glass gives more perc for the money; here you are also paying for the design.
• Tight shelves, if you are looking at the XL. It is 3.9 inches wide and 33 ounces.

Summary: This suits flower users who want design plus a standard 14mm fitment, and it does not suit concentrates or travel.

⚠️ Known Limitations

• Hemper do not publish what bowl ships with the 7-inch regular. The XL's spec sheet names its included bowl explicitly — an opaque white 14mm ramen bowl with amber chopstick handles. The regular's spec sheet lists no bowl at all. The joint is a standard recessed 14mm either way, so any 14mm slide works, but ask us before you order if what is in the box matters to you and we will open one and check.
• The cup wrap and lettering are decals. Hemper describe a "Hemper Ramen Cup decal on white wrapped around cup" and an H marking on the chopstick. Decals sit on the surface, so clean the interior and wipe the outside rather than soaking the whole piece in alcohol.
• Hemper publish no width or glass thickness for the regular. The 3.9-inch width and 5mm thickness are XL figures only and should not be assumed to describe the smaller piece.
• It is not the tallest Hemper bong here. The High Jinx Cartoon XL Bong is 11 inches and the Chinese Takeout XL is 9, against this XL's 8.6.
• The XL is heavy. 33 ounces against the regular's 15.1. That is a piece you site somewhere and leave, not one you move around.
• Flower only. Neither size is built or tuned for concentrates.

Summary: The trade-offs are an unpublished bowl on the regular, exterior decals, and real weight on the XL.

⚙️ Features & Benefits

• Recessed 14mm joint on both sizes — published by Hemper for the regular and the XL independently. A recessed joint sits inset into the body, which protects it from side knocks, and 14mm is the common fitment so replacement bowls are easy to source.
• Showerhead percolator on the XL — a step up from the regular's diffused downstem, spreading the draw across more openings.
• Diffused downstem perc on the regular — breaks smoke up before the water line, which cools the pull without choking airflow on a 7-inch piece.
• 5mm glass on the XL — published thickness, and the reason the XL weighs more than double the regular.
• Amber chopstick mouthpiece — on both sizes, carrying an H marking. It is the mouthpiece rather than a decoration bolted to the side.
• Textured opaque yellow noodle top — the detail that makes the silhouette read as ramen rather than as a generic cup.
• Themed bowl included with the XL — an opaque white 14mm ramen bowl with amber chopstick handles, so the accessory matches the piece.
• Clear cup body — unlike opaque themed glass, you can see the water line and watch residue build up, which tells you when it needs cleaning.

Summary: A recessed 14mm joint on both sizes, a showerhead perc and included bowl on the XL, and a chopstick mouthpiece throughout.

📐 Structured Specs

Summary: The regular is 7" with a diffused downstem; the XL is 8.6" and 3.9" wide on 5mm glass with a showerhead perc and a bowl in the box.

🔌 Compatibility & Requirements

Works with:

• Standard 14mm bowls, on both sizes. Hemper publish a recessed 14mm joint for the regular and the XL separately, so this is not an assumption carried across from one to the other. Spares and upgrades are in our glass bowls and slides range.
• Dry flower, ground to a medium consistency.
• Water, filled to just above the diffusion.
• Any lighter or hemp wick.

Not compatible with:

• Concentrates in practice. The joint would accept a banger, but the chamber and diffusion are built for smoke.
• Puffco Peak attachments — entirely different fitment. The Ramen Peak Top is the version of this design built for a Peak.

Required to use: a 14mm bowl, flower and a lighter. The XL includes its bowl. Hemper do not publish what ships with the regular — ask us and we will check the box before you order.

Summary: Both sizes take standard 14mm bowls; the XL's bowl is included and the regular's is unpublished.

🧼 How to Use & Troubleshooting

Filling and using it:

1. Fill with water until the diffusion sits just under the surface — roughly an inch on the 7-inch, a little more on the XL.
2. Take one dry pull with no bowl seated to check the level. Water reaching the chopstick means you have overfilled it.
3. Seat a 14mm bowl in the recessed joint and pack it loosely so air still moves through.
4. Light the edge of the bowl rather than the centre and draw steadily, cornering the bowl so unlit flower is left for the next pull.
5. Empty the water after every session. Standing water is what makes glass smell, not the smoke.

Cleaning — mind the decals: the white cup wrap and the H marking on the chopstick are decals, so keep alcohol on the inside. Add coarse salt and isopropyl to the chamber, cap the openings, and agitate. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and stand it upright to dry. Wipe the outside with a damp cloth only. The clear cup body helps here — you can see what is left rather than guessing. Our guide to bongs, bubblers and glass bowls covers general glass care.

Troubleshooting:

• Problem: the draw is tight. Solution: the downstem slits or showerhead perc are partly blocked. A full salt-and-alcohol soak restores airflow.
• Problem: water pulls up into the chopstick. Solution: overfilled. Pour some out and retest with a dry pull.
• Problem: it gurgles. Solution: too much water, or flower has fallen through into the chamber.
• Problem: material pulls through the bowl. Solution: grind coarser, or drop a small glass screen into the 14mm bowl.
• Problem: the cup wrap is dulling. Solution: it has been soaked. Move to interior-only cleaning from here.
• Problem: flavour has gone flat. Solution: change the water before you assume it needs a full clean.

Summary: Fill just above the diffusion, empty after every session, and keep the alcohol on the inside.

⚖️ Comparison Table

Three Hemper XL bongs sit at $119.99, and height is the clearest thing separating them — the High Jinx at 11 inches, the Chinese Takeout at 9, and this one at 8.6. What the Ramen XL has that the others do not is a bowl included in the box, and Hemper publish a recessed 14mm joint on both of its sizes rather than only the smaller one. If you are weighing several pieces against each other, our guide on choosing from a premium smoke shop works through what actually matters.

Within the Hemper Ramen family: this is the flower-and-water piece. The Ramen Bowl Hand Pipe at $29.99 is dry and pocket-sized, and the Ramen Peak Top at $79.99 covers concentrates on a Puffco Peak.

Summary: Against the other $119.99 Hemper XL bongs this is the shortest, and the one that ships with its own themed bowl.

💬 Common Questions & Answers

How tall is the Hemper Ramen Cup Bong?
The regular is 7 inches tall. The XL is 8.6 inches tall and 3.9 inches wide, built on 5mm glass. Hemper publish no width or glass thickness for the 7-inch, so those two figures describe the XL only. For context, this is not the tallest Hemper bong stocked at Angies Boutique — the High Jinx Cartoon XL is 11 inches and the Chinese Takeout XL is 9, both also at $119.99.

What size bowl does it take?
A standard 14mm bowl, in a recessed joint, on both sizes. Hemper publish "recessed 14mm joint" in the spec block for the regular and the XL independently, so this is confirmed for both rather than assumed from one. Any 14mm slide will fit either piece, which means bowls move freely between them.

Does a bowl come with it?
With the XL, yes — Hemper specify an opaque white 14mm ramen bowl with amber chopstick handles. For the 7-inch regular, Hemper publish no bowl at all in the spec sheet, so we are not going to state what is in the box. Ask us before ordering and we will open one and confirm. The joint is standard 14mm either way, so a bowl is easy to add.

What is the difference between the regular and the XL?
Height, width, glass thickness, percolation and what is in the box. The regular is 7 inches with a diffused downstem perc. The XL is 8.6 inches and 3.9 inches wide on 5mm glass with a showerhead percolator, and it includes a themed 14mm bowl. Hemper's shipped weights make the gap concrete: 15.1 ounces against 33. What does not change is the joint — both are recessed 14mm.

Is the chopstick the mouthpiece?
Yes. Hemper list an amber chopstick mouthpiece on both sizes, carrying an H marking — a decal on the regular and an "H" logo on the XL in Hemper's own wording. It is the part you draw from rather than a decorative element attached to the side.

How do you clean it without ruining the artwork?
Clean the inside, wipe the outside. The cup wrap is a decal applied around the cup, so a long full-piece soak in isopropyl is the wrong approach. Run coarse salt and isopropyl through the chamber, cap the openings, agitate, then rinse with warm water. The clear cup body works in your favour — you can see how much residue is left instead of guessing.

Can it be used as a dab rig?
It is built for flower. The 14mm joint would physically accept a banger, but the chamber volume and the diffusion are tuned for smoke rather than vapour. For concentrates in the same design, the Hemper Ramen Peak Top is replacement glass for a Puffco Peak.

Summary: The key questions are the recessed 14mm joint on both sizes, what ships in the box, and cleaning around the cup decal.

🛒 Complete Your Setup

The 7-inch does not have a published bowl, and any 14mm slide fits both sizes, so a spare is the first thing worth adding — our glass bowls and slides range covers it. Grind consistency decides whether material pulls through a bowl with no screen, and the Santa Cruz Shredder Hemp Grinder gives the even medium grind a diffused piece wants.

Because the wrap is a decal, Dr. Dabber Iso-Snaps are useful for quick interior clean-ups that keep alcohol away from the outside. Anyone building the theme out should look at the Ramen Bowl Hand Pipe, and our guide on keeping a grinder clean pairs with it. The full range sits in Hemper. Everything ships from our Los Angeles shop, with same-day pickup at 838 N Broadway.

Summary: A 14mm bowl, a grinder and cleaning swabs are the sensible pairings with this bong.
