Hemper Bowlman Lantern Bong – 7" Borosilicate Glass Lantern

The Hemper Bowlman Lantern Bong is a 7-inch glass water pipe shaped like a camping lantern, 3 inches in diameter on 5mm glass. Two things set it apart in this range. Hemper describe a flame splash guard that prevents water from reaching your lips — a functional part most brands never mention. And this is the one piece in the Hemper drop where Hemper themselves say borosilicate; on most of the others they only say "glass". Angies Boutique lists it at $59.99, matching Hemper's own price.

⚡ At-a-Glance Decision Summary

• What it is: A 7-inch glass camping-lantern bong, 3 inches in diameter on 5mm glass.
• Flame splash guard — Hemper state it stops water reaching your lips. A named functional part, not decoration.
• Borosilicate, stated by Hemper. Rare in this range — most of their pieces are published as "glass" with no grade.
• 5mm glass at the heavier end of what Hemper publish.
• Diffused downstem perc — though Hemper's own two descriptions of it disagree slightly. See Known Limitations.
• No bowl published. Hemper never say one ships with it — see Known Limitations before you order.
• Flower only. Not built for concentrates.

🧠 Our Verdict

Buy the Bowlman Lantern Bong if you want the best-documented glass in this Hemper range. It is the only piece where Hemper commit to borosilicate rather than the generic "glass" they use elsewhere, it publishes a 5mm thickness, and it names a functional splash guard that most brands leave unmentioned. The lantern shape earns its place too — a lantern is naturally a tall narrow body on a wide base, which is exactly what a stable bong wants. What Hemper do not tell you is the joint size or whether a bowl is in the box, and those are the two things worth confirming before you order.

Quick Summary

The Hemper Bowlman Lantern Bong is a 7-inch tall, 3-inch diameter borosilicate glass water pipe shaped as a camping lantern, built on 5mm glass. It has a diffused downstem percolator, a flame splash guard that stops water reaching the mouthpiece, and the signature Bowlman logo. Hemper publish no joint size and no included bowl. Dry flower only. $59.99 at Angies Boutique in Los Angeles.

Hemper Bowlman Lantern Bong – 7" Borosilicate Glass Camping Lantern

Across this whole Hemper range, the word "borosilicate" appears on exactly one product page. Most of the line — the arcade bong, the ramen cup, the lucky cat, the teddy bear — is published as "glass" with no grade at all, which is why our pages for those say glass and stop.

This is the exception. Hemper call it a "durable borosilicate glass bong" in their own copy, publish a 5mm thickness, and name a part almost nobody names: a flame splash guard, which they say "prevents water from reaching your lips". A splash guard is a real functional component, and most brands fit one without ever mentioning it. The lantern silhouette does structural work as well — a lantern is a tall narrow body on a wide base, which is the same shape a stable bong wants. Browse the rest of the range in our bongs collection.

Summary: The Hemper Bowlman Lantern Bong is 7 inches of borosilicate glass on 5mm walls, with a named flame splash guard.

⭐ Who This Product Is For / Not For

Ideal for:

• Anyone who wants a stated material grade. This is the only piece in the Hemper range where borosilicate is published rather than implied.
• People who dislike splashback. Hemper name the splash guard and say what it does.
• Buyers who want thicker glass — 5mm is at the heavier end of what Hemper publish.
• Anyone who wants height without a wide footprint: 7 inches tall on a 3-inch diameter.
• Camping and outdoors themes, and gift buyers who want something readable.

Not recommended for:

• Concentrate users. This is a flower piece.
• Anyone who needs a confirmed joint size before ordering — Hemper publish none.
• Buyers who assume a bowl is included. Hemper never say one is. Check first.
• Travel. It is 7 inches of glass with a handle and a guard.

Summary: This suits flower users who want documented glass and a splash guard, and it does not suit concentrates or anyone needing a stated joint size.

⚠️ Known Limitations

• Hemper never say a bowl is included. Their spec block lists no bowl and there is no "what's included" section. Hemper do sell a separate Bowlman Flame Flower Bowl as its own product, which suggests the bowl may be sold separately — but that is an inference and we are not going to state it as fact. Ask us before ordering and we will open one and confirm what is in the box.
• No joint size published. Hemper give a height, a diameter, a thickness and a percolator, and never state the joint's size or gender. Measure it or ask us before buying a spare slide.
• Hemper contradict themselves on the percolator. Their spec block says "Diffused Downstem Perc"; their description says "a smooth stem percolator". Those are not quite the same claim. We have published the spec-block wording because a spec block is the more reliable of the two, and flagged the difference here rather than quietly picking one.
• Hemper do not state whether the downstem is removable. Assume it does not come out until you have the piece in hand.
• The XL variant is a different product. If you are looking at the XL option, note that every specification on this page — 7 inches, 3-inch diameter, 5mm, the perc type — is published for the regular size only. Hemper's XL is a separate listing with its own figures, and we are not going to carry these across to it.
• Flower only. The chamber and diffusion are tuned for smoke.

Summary: The trade-offs are an unpublished joint size, no confirmed bowl in the box, and a percolator Hemper describe two different ways.

⚙️ Features & Benefits

• Flame splash guard — Hemper name it and say it "prevents water from reaching your lips". Splashback is the most common complaint about small-chamber bongs, and this is one of very few pieces at any price where the manufacturer addresses it in the product copy rather than leaving you to find out.
• Borosilicate glass, stated — the only piece in this Hemper range where the grade is published rather than left as generic "glass". If a material claim matters to you, this is the one that has it.
• 5mm thickness — published, and at the heavier end of Hemper's range.
• 7 inches tall on a 3-inch diameter — a tall narrow column on a wide enough base. Height is what cools smoke, and the lantern silhouette gives you that without a wide footprint.
• Diffused downstem percolator — breaks the smoke up before the water line rather than letting it through as one column.
• Signature Bowlman logo — Hemper's own branding worked into the piece.
• Lantern form with a handle — the shape gives you somewhere deliberate to hold that is not the neck.

Summary: A named splash guard, published borosilicate, 5mm glass and a tall narrow column define this piece.

📐 Structured Specs

Summary: 7 inches tall, 3 across, 5mm borosilicate, with a diffused downstem perc and a flame splash guard.

🔌 Compatibility & Requirements

Works with:

• Dry flower, ground to a medium consistency.
• Water, filled to just above the downstem slits.
• Any lighter or hemp wick.
• A bowl matching the joint — see the caution below.

Not compatible with:

• Concentrates in practice — the chamber and diffusion are tuned for smoke.
• Puffco Peak attachments. Hemper do make a Bowlman Lantern Peak Top as a separate product, but it is a different item with a different fitment.

Before you buy a bowl: Hemper publish no joint size and never state that a bowl is included. Both are worth confirming before you order — ask us and we will look at the piece in the shop. Once the fitment is known, spares are in our glass bowls and slides range.

Summary: The joint size and the included bowl are both unpublished and worth confirming before ordering accessories.

🧼 How to Use & Troubleshooting

Filling and using it:

1. Fill with water until the downstem slits sit just under the surface. On a 3-inch diameter chamber that is a modest amount — start low and add.
2. Take one dry pull with no bowl seated to check the level. The flame splash guard is there to stop water reaching your lips, but it is a backstop rather than a licence to overfill.
3. Seat the bowl and pack it loosely so air still moves through the diffusion.
4. Light the edge of the bowl rather than the centre and draw steadily, cornering it 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: add coarse salt and isopropyl alcohol to the chamber, cap the openings, and agitate. A splash guard is an extra internal surface that residue collects on, so give it a little longer than a plain tube and make sure the guard itself gets flushed. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and stand it upright to dry. Our guide to bongs, bubblers and glass bowls covers general glass care.

Troubleshooting:

• Problem: the draw is tight. Solution: the downstem slits or the splash guard are partly blocked. A full salt-and-alcohol soak restores airflow.
• Problem: you are still getting splashback. Solution: the guard reduces it, it does not eliminate it. Lower the water level and draw more gently.
• 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 bowl.
• Problem: residue collects behind the guard. Solution: that is where it goes on any guarded piece. Agitate longer and rinse from both ends.
• Problem: flavour has gone flat. Solution: change the water before assuming it needs a full clean.

Summary: Fill just above the diffusion, flush the splash guard when you clean, and empty the water after every session.

⚖️ Comparison Table

Among the $59.99 Hemper bongs this is the tallest and the thickest, and the only one where the material grade is published rather than left generic. That is the honest case for it. The trade is documentation elsewhere: the Scare Bears and Jurassic Spark both publish a joint size and a bowl in the box, and this one publishes neither. If you are weighing several, our guide on choosing from a premium smoke shop works through what matters.

Summary: The tallest and thickest of the $59.99 Hemper bongs, and the only one with a published material grade — but the joint and bowl are unpublished.

💬 Common Questions & Answers

How big is the Hemper Bowlman Lantern Bong?
7 inches tall and 3 inches in diameter, on 5mm glass, all published by Hemper. Among the $59.99 Hemper bongs that makes it the tallest and the thickest — the Chinese Takeout is 6 inches on 3mm, and the Scare Bears and Arcade publish no thickness at all.

What is the flame splash guard?
It is a physical barrier inside the neck that stops water travelling up to the mouthpiece. Hemper name it and state that it "prevents water from reaching your lips". That is worth calling out because splashback is the most common complaint on small-chamber bongs and very few manufacturers mention a guard at all. It reduces splashback rather than eliminating it — keep the water level sensible regardless.

Is it borosilicate?
Yes, and this is the only piece in the Hemper range where they say so. Their copy calls it a "durable borosilicate glass bong". Most of Hemper's other pieces are published as "glass" with no grade, which is why our pages for those do not claim borosilicate.

Does a bowl come with it?
Hemper do not say. Their spec block lists no bowl and there is no "what's included" section. They also sell a separate Bowlman Flame Flower Bowl as its own product, which hints that the bowl is sold separately — but that is our inference, not their statement, so we are not printing it as fact. Ask us before ordering and we will open one and confirm.

What size joint does it have?
Hemper do not publish it. They give a height, a diameter, a thickness and a percolator, and stop there. Measure the joint or ask us before buying a spare bowl.

What kind of percolator does it have?
Hemper's spec block says "diffused downstem perc" and their description says "a smooth stem percolator". Those two are not identical claims, so we have published the spec-block wording and flagged the difference rather than quietly choosing one. Either way it is a downstem-based diffusion rather than a named showerhead or tree perc.

Do the specs on this page apply to the XL?
No. Every figure here — 7 inches, 3-inch diameter, 5mm, the percolator — is published by Hemper for the regular size. Their XL is a separate listing with its own specifications, and we are not going to carry these figures across to it.

Summary: The key facts are 7 inches on 5mm borosilicate, a named flame splash guard, and an unpublished joint size and bowl.

🛒 Complete Your Setup

Since Hemper do not confirm a bowl in the box, that is the first thing to settle — ask us and we will check, then match a slide from our glass bowls and slides range once the fitment is known. Grind consistency decides whether material pulls through, and the Santa Cruz Shredder Hemp Grinder gives the even medium grind a diffused piece wants. Our guide to keeping a grinder clean pairs with it.

A splash guard is an extra internal surface for residue, so Dr. Dabber Iso-Snaps are worth having for the work between full soaks. The full range sits in Hemper. Everything ships from our Los Angeles shop, with same-day pickup at 838 N Broadway.

Summary: A matching bowl, a grinder and cleaning supplies are the sensible pairings.
