GRAV Medium Upright Bubbler – 7" Black Accent Bubbler & Dab Rig

The GRAV Medium Upright Bubbler in Black Accents is a 7" borosilicate water pipe built on 44mm tubing, with a fixed fission downstem and an extended 45° mouthpiece that makes splashback a non-issue. It ships with a GRAV 14mm Cup Bowl for flower — and swapping in a 14mm 90° male banger turns the same piece into a dab rig. The clear water chamber sits between an opaque black base, mouthpiece, downstem and joint. $59.99 at Angies Boutique in Los Angeles.

⚡ At-a-Glance Decision Summary

• What it is: A 7" upright bubbler on 44mm borosilicate tubing, with black accents and a clear water chamber.
• Why choose it: It is a bubbler and a dab rig. The 14mm joint takes the included cup bowl for flower or a 14mm 90° banger for concentrate.
• Standout feature: The extended 45° mouthpiece. Splashback is the usual complaint on a piece this small, and the geometry solves it.
• What's included: A GRAV 14mm Cup Bowl. Ready for flower out of the box.
• Honest limitation: The fission downstem is fixed — fused into the body, so it cannot be removed for cleaning.

🧠 Our Verdict

The GRAV Medium Upright Bubbler is a strong recommendation if you want water filtration on a desk without committing to a full-size bong, and you would like the option to dab from the same piece. At 7" it gives you the filtration of a bong in something you can stash in a drawer, and the thick black base makes it genuinely hard to knock over. The one thing to accept before buying is the fixed downstem — it makes cleaning a soak-and-shake job rather than a strip-down.

Quick Summary

The GRAV Medium Upright Bubbler stands 7" tall and 6.25" wide, made on 44mm borosilicate tubing. A fixed fission downstem diffuses smoke through roughly 2" of water, and the extended 45° mouthpiece prevents splashback. The 14mm female joint accepts the included GRAV Cup Bowl or a 14mm 90° male banger. Black accents cover the base, mouthpiece, downstem and joint. $59.99 at Angies Boutique.

GRAV Medium Upright Bubbler – 7" Black Accent Bubbler & Dab Rig

This is two pieces in one. It arrives with a GRAV 14mm Cup Bowl fitted, so it works as a flower bubbler straight out of the box. Pull the bowl, drop in a 14mm 90° male banger, and the same piece is a dab rig. GRAV market it under both names for exactly that reason, and it is the main argument for buying this over a single-purpose bubbler at the same money.

The extended 45° mouthpiece is the detail that matters most in use. Small bubblers are notorious for pulling water into your mouth, because there is very little distance between the waterline and the lip. GRAV angle the mouthpiece up and away, which puts geometry between you and the splash. You can pull hard on this without paying for it.

A fixed fission downstem sits inside the tube, slotted to break smoke into fine streams as it enters the water. It pulls easily — this is not a restrictive piece — and it is fused into the body rather than removable, which is covered honestly in the limitations below.

7" tall, 6.25" wide, on 44mm tubing, with a thick opaque black base that makes it a stable tabletop piece. The clear water chamber gives you a view of the action; the black base, mouthpiece, downstem and glass joint frame it.

Summary: The GRAV Medium Upright Bubbler is a 7" black-accent water pipe that works as both a flower bubbler and a dab rig.

⭐ Who This Product Is For / Not For

Ideal For:

• Anyone who wants one piece for both flower and concentrate. The 14mm joint swaps between the included bowl and a banger in seconds.
• Desk and tabletop use. The thick black base is heavy and wide for the height — hard to tip.
• People who hate splashback. The extended 45° mouthpiece is the specific fix for it.
• Anyone who wants bong filtration without bong size. At 7" this stashes in a drawer.
• First-time bubbler buyers — the cup bowl is included, so nothing else is needed for flower.
• Buyers who like the look. Clear chamber against opaque black accents is a genuinely sharp piece at this price.

Not Recommended For:

• Anyone who strips their glass down to clean it. The fission downstem is fixed. If a removable downstem matters, the GRAV Medium Round Base Bong has one.
• Anyone wanting heavy percolation. Filtration is a single fission downstem — clean and smooth, but not a stacked-perc piece.
• Pocket or travel use. This is a desktop piece with a wide base.
• Group sessions with big pulls. A 7" chamber is sized for one or two people.
• Anyone who wants to dab out of the box. The bowl is included; a banger is not.

⚠️ Known Limitations

• The downstem is fixed. It is fused into the body and cannot be pulled out, so cleaning is a soak-and-shake rather than a strip-down. This is the single most important thing to accept before buying.
• No percolator beyond the downstem. One fission downstem into the chamber — smooth for the size, but not a stacked-perc piece.
• No banger included. The dab-rig conversion needs a 14mm 90° male banger, sold separately.
• Clear chamber shows everything. Water lines and resin are visible by design — it rewards being cleaned.
• Water level matters. Roughly 2" is right. Overfill a chamber this size and the 45° mouthpiece stops being able to save you.
• One in stock. If you want it, do not wait.

Summary: The GRAV Medium Upright Bubbler has a fixed downstem and simple filtration, and needs a banger bought separately to dab.

⚙️ Features & Benefits

• Extended 45° mouthpiece: Angles up and away from the waterline, which is what makes splashback a non-issue on a piece this small. Pull as hard as you like.
• Fixed fission downstem: Slotted to break smoke into fine streams entering the water, so the draw is smooth and takes minimal effort.
• Bubbler and dab rig in one: The 14mm female joint takes the included cup bowl for flower, or a 14mm 90° male banger for concentrate.
• GRAV 14mm Cup Bowl included: Ready for flower out of the box, with a glass maria so you can pull it hot without burning your fingers.
• 44mm borosilicate tubing: Thick-walled for the size, and uncoated so an isopropyl soak is completely safe.
• Thick opaque black base: Heavy and wide relative to 7" of height, which makes it genuinely stable on a desk.
• Black accents, clear chamber: Base, mouthpiece, downstem and glass joint in opaque black against a clear water chamber.

Summary: A splash-proof 45° mouthpiece, an easy-pulling fission downstem and a dual flower/concentrate joint define the GRAV Medium Upright Bubbler.

📐 Structured Specs

🔌 Compatibility & Requirements

• Joint: 14mm female at 90°. Takes any 14mm male bowl or banger.
• Included bowl: A GRAV 14mm Cup Bowl. Spares and replacements are the GRAV Cup Bowl in 14mm.
• To dab: Add a 14mm 90° male banger. Our GRAV Seamless Quartz Banger in 14mm 90° is a direct fit, as are the Control Tower and Slurper sets in 14mm.
• Not compatible with: 10mm, 18mm or 19mm accessories, or any 45° banger — the joint is 90°.
• Downstem: Fixed. There is nothing to remove or replace.
• Ash catchers: A 14mm male ash catcher will seat, but on a 7" piece it raises the centre of gravity noticeably.
• Required: Water and a lighter for flower, or a torch if you fit a banger.

🧼 How to Use & Troubleshooting

1. Fill with roughly 2" of water — enough to cover the fission slits without crowding the chamber.
2. Seat the included 14mm Cup Bowl in the joint, or fit a 14mm 90° banger if you are dabbing.
3. Pack the bowl, light the edge rather than the centre, and draw.
4. Lift the bowl out of the joint to clear the chamber — there is no carb.
5. Change the water regularly. A small chamber turns over faster than a full-size bong.

Problem → Solution:

• Water reaching your mouth: Overfilled. Drop back toward 2" — the 45° mouthpiece handles a hard pull at the right level, not at any level.
• Harsh, dry draw: Underfilled, or the fission slits are not submerged.
• Draw feels blocked: Resin in the fixed downstem. Soak the whole piece — the slits are the part that clogs first.
• It rocks on the desk: Check the base is clean and dry. The base is heavy and flat, so wobble usually means something underneath it.

Summary: Roughly 2" of water and a lift-the-bowl clear is all the GRAV Medium Upright Bubbler asks for.

🧴 Care & Maintenance

• The downstem is fixed, so plan around it. Cleaning is isopropyl and coarse salt, capped and shaken, rather than a strip-down. Do it more often and it never becomes a big job.
• Plain uncoated borosilicate with no decals to strip, so an isopropyl soak is completely safe. The black accents are coloured glass, not paint.
• Pull the bowl and clean it separately — that part does come out.
• Change the water often. A small chamber goes stale faster than a big one.
• Pre-saturated swabs such as Dr. Dabber Iso-Snaps reach the joint and the mouthpiece.
• No thermal shock. Never pour boiling water into a cold piece.

Summary: A fixed downstem means cleaning the GRAV Medium Upright Bubbler little and often rather than deep and rarely.

⚖️ Comparison Table

The honest read: the Medium Round Base is the better flower piece at twice the money, mostly because you can pull its downstem out. This one wins on versatility — it is the only piece here that dabs as well as it smokes — and on the mouthpiece geometry, which genuinely solves a problem the others do not have to deal with at their height.

Summary: Buy the GRAV Medium Upright Bubbler for dual flower and concentrate use; buy the Round Base if you only smoke flower and want a removable downstem.

💬 Common Questions & Answers

How tall is it, really?
7" tall and 6.25" wide. GRAV's own dimension diagram confirms both figures, and it is worth stating plainly because this piece is sometimes listed elsewhere as 6". At 7" on a wide black base it is a tabletop piece rather than something you carry, but it still stashes easily in a drawer.

Can I use it as a dab rig?
Yes, and that is the main reason to choose it. The 14mm female joint at 90° takes the included GRAV Cup Bowl for flower, or a 14mm 90° male banger for concentrate. GRAV sell the piece under both names for that reason. The banger is not included — our GRAV Seamless Quartz Banger in 14mm 90° is a direct fit, as are the Control Tower and Slurper sets in 14mm.

Does the downstem come out?
No. The fission downstem is fixed — fused into the body of the piece. That means cleaning is a soak-and-shake with isopropyl and coarse salt rather than a strip-down, and you cannot replace the downstem if it breaks. If a removable downstem matters to you, the GRAV Medium Round Base Bong has one. This is the single most important limitation to accept before buying.

How much water does it take?
Roughly 2". Enough to cover the fission slits without crowding the chamber. The extended 45° mouthpiece handles a hard pull at the correct water level — overfill it and the geometry stops being able to save you. Start with less than you think and add.

Does it come with a bowl?
Yes. A GRAV 14mm Cup Bowl is included, so the piece works for flower straight out of the box. The Cup Bowl has a glass maria — a raised ring around the stem — so you can pull it hot without burning your fingers. Spares are available separately if you want a couple in rotation.

What do the black accents cover?
The base, the mouthpiece, the downstem and the glass joint are all opaque black. The water chamber itself stays clear, so you still get a view of the action. The black is coloured glass rather than paint or coating, which means an isopropyl soak will not strip or fade it.

Is it stable?
Yes. The base is thick, opaque black and wide relative to the 7" height — 6.25" across at the widest point. GRAV describe it as a tabletop or desktop piece and the weight distribution backs that up. It is considerably harder to knock over than a straight tube of the same height.

🛒 Complete Your Setup
