Hemper Totally Rad Arcade Bong – 5.4" Glass Arcade Cabinet

The Hemper Totally Rad Arcade Bong is a 5.4-inch glass water pipe built as a standing arcade cabinet — a transparent black body with a red joystick, an arcade screen decal on the front and game artwork wrapped around the back and sides. Inside it runs a diffused downstem percolator, and the joint is a 45-degree recessed 14mm female fitting. At 2.1 inches wide it takes up almost no desk space. Angies Boutique lists it at $59.99.

⚡ At-a-Glance Decision Summary

• What it is: A 5.4" glass bong shaped like a retro arcade cabinet, 2.1" wide.
• The joint is the detail to note: a 45-degree recessed 14mm female joint, so it takes standard 14mm male bowls.
• Filtration: diffused downstem percolator.
• The artwork is decals: Hemper publish three of them — a wrap around the back and sides, a screen decal, and a Hemper game decal under the mouthpiece. That governs how you clean it.
• Footprint: 2.1 inches wide is genuinely small. This fits on a shelf where a beaker does not.
• Flower only. Not built for concentrates.
• Price: $59.99, matching Hemper's own figure.

🧠 Our Verdict

Buy the Totally Rad Arcade Bong if you want a themed piece that stays out on a shelf rather than living in a drawer. The arcade-cabinet shape is doing something most novelty glass does not: a cabinet is naturally tall and narrow, so the silhouette that sells the joke is also the silhouette that takes up the least room. The 45-degree recessed 14mm female joint means standard bowls fit and the joint is protected from side knocks. It is a small bong, and Hemper describe it as glass without specifying a thickness, so treat it as a shelf piece rather than a hard-wearing daily driver.

Quick Summary

The Hemper Totally Rad Arcade Bong is a 5.4-inch tall, 2.1-inch wide glass water pipe styled as a retro arcade cabinet. The body is transparent black with a red joystick, and Hemper apply three decals: an arcade wrap around the back and sides, a game screen decal, and a Hemper game decal under the mouthpiece. It uses a diffused downstem percolator and a 45-degree recessed 14mm female joint. Dry flower only. $59.99 at Angies Boutique in Los Angeles.

Hemper Totally Rad Arcade Bong – 5.4" Glass Arcade Cabinet Water Pipe

Themed glass usually pays for its shape in desk space. A cat, a dog, a takeout box — all of them are wider than they are useful, because the recognisable silhouette is a horizontal one.

An arcade cabinet is the exception. It is tall and narrow by definition, so the shape that makes this piece funny is also the shape that makes it fit. Hemper publish it at 5.4 inches tall and 2.1 inches wide, which is a smaller footprint than most 5-inch bongs manage. The body is transparent black with a red joystick moulded in, the front carries an arcade screen decal, and game artwork wraps around the back and sides. Underneath the theme it is a working piece: a diffused downstem percolator and a 45-degree recessed 14mm female joint. Browse the rest of the range in our bongs collection.

Summary: The Hemper Totally Rad Arcade Bong is a 5.4" × 2.1" glass arcade cabinet with a diffused downstem perc and a 45-degree recessed 14mm female joint.

⭐ Who This Product Is For / Not For

Ideal for:

• Anyone short on shelf space. 2.1 inches wide is the real argument for this piece.
• People who already own 14mm male bowls — the female joint takes them directly.
• Retro gaming fans, and gift buyers who want something that reads instantly.
• Anyone who wants a themed bong that still runs a diffused downstem perc rather than an open tube.
• Collectors building the arcade theme alongside the Totally Rad Arcade Peak Top.

Not recommended for:

• Concentrate users. This is a flower piece.
• Anyone wanting a large chamber. At 5.4 inches this is a small bong and the water volume matches.
• Buyers who need a stated glass thickness — Hemper publish none for this piece.
• Anyone who cleans by soaking the whole piece in alcohol. Three separate decals sit on the outside.
• Travel. It is small, but it is still glass with a joystick sticking out of it.

Summary: This suits shelf-limited flower users who own 14mm bowls, and it does not suit concentrates or anyone wanting a big chamber.

⚠️ Known Limitations

• Three decals on the exterior. Hemper publish them individually — an arcade game decal wrapping the back and sides, an arcade screen decal, and a Hemper game decal under the mouthpiece. Decals sit on the surface, so clean the interior and wipe the outside. A long soak in isopropyl lifts them.
• Hemper do not publish a bowl with this piece. The spec sheet lists no bowl and there is no "what's included" block — the description mentions bowl placement, which is about geometry rather than an accessory in the box. The joint is a standard 14mm female, so any 14mm male bowl fits. Ask us before ordering if what is in the box matters and we will open one and check.
• No glass thickness published. Hemper describe it as glass and give no millimetre figure, so we are not going to state one.
• Hemper do not state whether the downstem is fixed or removable. They publish "diffused downstem percolator" and stop there. We are not going to guess — assume you cannot pull it out until you have the piece in hand.
• It is a small bong. 5.4 inches tall with a 2.1-inch footprint means a small water chamber. That is the trade for the shelf space.
• Flower only. The 14mm joint would physically take a banger, but the chamber and diffusion are built for smoke.

Summary: The trade-offs are three exterior decals, no published bowl or glass thickness, and a small chamber.

⚙️ Features & Benefits

• 45-degree recessed 14mm female joint — the most useful spec on the piece. Recessed means the joint sits inset into the body, protecting it from side knocks. Female means standard 14mm male bowls drop straight in. 45 degrees is the angle that keeps a small bong stable while you light it.
• Diffused downstem percolator — breaks the smoke up before the water line rather than letting it through as one column, which is what makes a chamber this small still worth filling.
• 2.1 inches wide — the number that matters for anyone with a crowded shelf. The arcade-cabinet silhouette is narrow by nature.
• Transparent black body — dark enough to read as an arcade cabinet, transparent enough that you can still see the water line and judge when it needs cleaning.
• Moulded red joystick — a physical detail rather than a printed one, so it survives handling.
• Arcade screen decal — the front graphic that completes the cabinet illusion.
• Hemper game decal under the mouthpiece — a small branded detail Hemper call out separately in the spec sheet.
• Shipped weight 14 oz — Hemper's own figure. Light enough to move around a room without ceremony.

Summary: A 45-degree recessed 14mm female joint, a diffused downstem perc, and a 2.1-inch footprint define this piece.

📐 Structured Specs

Summary: 5.4 inches tall, 2.1 wide, diffused downstem perc, 45-degree recessed 14mm female joint.

🔌 Compatibility & Requirements

Works with:

• Standard 14mm male bowls. The joint is 14mm female, which is the common configuration, so bowls from our glass bowls and slides range fit directly.
• Dry flower, ground to a medium consistency.
• Water, filled to just above the downstem slits.
• Small glass screens, if you want to stop pull-through.

Not compatible with:

• Concentrates in practice — the chamber and diffusion are tuned for smoke.
• Puffco Peak attachments. Entirely different fitment; the Totally Rad Arcade Peak Top is the version of this theme built for a Peak.
• 18mm bowls, without an adapter.

Required to use: a 14mm male bowl, flower and a lighter. Hemper do not publish whether a bowl ships with it, so ask us and we will confirm before you order.

Summary: It takes standard 14mm male bowls in a recessed female joint, and nothing from the Puffco side fits.

🧼 How to Use & Troubleshooting

Filling and using it:

1. Fill with water until the downstem slits sit just under the surface. On a chamber this small that is a small amount — start low and add.
2. Take one dry pull with no bowl seated to check the level. Water reaching the mouthpiece means you have overfilled it.
3. Seat a 14mm male bowl in the recessed joint and pack it loosely.
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. On a small chamber, standing water affects flavour faster than on a large one.

Cleaning — three decals to work around: the arcade wrap, the screen decal and the Hemper decal under the mouthpiece all sit on the outside of the glass. Keep alcohol on the inside. Add coarse salt and isopropyl to the chamber, cap the openings, agitate, then rinse thoroughly with warm water and stand it upright to dry. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth only. The transparent black body helps — you can see the water line and judge residue 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 are partly blocked. A salt-and-alcohol soak restores airflow.
• Problem: water pulls up to the mouthpiece. Solution: overfilled. On a 5.4-inch piece the margin between "enough" and "too much" is small — pour some out and retest dry.
• 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: a decal is lifting at the edges. Solution: it has been soaked. Move to interior-only cleaning from here.
• Problem: flavour goes flat quickly. Solution: change the water. A small chamber turns over faster than a big one.

Summary: Fill sparingly, empty after every session, and keep alcohol away from the three exterior decals.

⚖️ Comparison Table

Three of these sit at $59.99 and cluster within an inch of each other in height, so the separator is footprint rather than size. Hemper publish a width for only two of them, and this is the narrower: 2.1 inches against the Chinese Takeout's 3. If shelf space is the constraint, that is the number to compare. The Chinese Takeout is the one to pick if you want a published glass thickness, which Hemper give for it and not for this.

Same theme, different job: the Totally Rad Arcade Peak Top at $79.99 puts the arcade design on a Puffco Peak for concentrates. If you are weighing several pieces, our guide on choosing from a premium smoke shop works through what actually matters.

Summary: Against the other $59.99 Hemper bongs this is the narrowest at 2.1 inches, and the one without a published glass thickness.

💬 Common Questions & Answers

How big is the Hemper Totally Rad Arcade Bong?
5.4 inches tall and 2.1 inches wide, both published by Hemper. The width is the more useful figure — an arcade cabinet is a naturally narrow shape, so this takes less shelf space than most bongs of a similar height. For comparison, the Hemper Chinese Takeout Bong is 6 inches tall and 3 inches wide.

What size bowl does it take?
A standard 14mm male bowl. Hemper specify a 45-degree recessed 14mm female joint, which is the common configuration, so bowls are easy to source. Recessed means the joint sits inset into the body rather than protruding, which protects it from knocks.

Does a bowl come with it?
Hemper do not publish one. The spec sheet lists no bowl and there is no "what's included" section — the product description mentions bowl placement, which describes where the joint sits rather than an accessory in the box. Ask us before ordering and we will open one and confirm. Any 14mm male bowl fits either way.

Does it have a percolator?
Yes, a diffused downstem percolator. That breaks the smoke into smaller bubbles before it reaches the water line, which is what makes a chamber this small worth filling at all. Hemper do not state whether the downstem is removable, so we are not going to claim it is.

How do you clean it without ruining the artwork?
Clean the inside and wipe the outside. Hemper publish three separate decals on this piece — an arcade wrap around the back and sides, a screen decal, and a Hemper game decal under the mouthpiece — and decals sit on the surface. Run coarse salt and isopropyl through the chamber, cap the openings, agitate, rinse with warm water. Use a damp cloth on the exterior only.

What is it made of?
Glass. Hemper describe it as a glass bong and publish no thickness figure and no glass-type designation for this particular piece, so we are not going to specify one beyond what they state.

Can it be used for concentrates?
It is built for flower. The 14mm joint would physically accept a banger, but the small chamber and the downstem diffusion are tuned for smoke rather than vapour. For the arcade design on a concentrate device, the Totally Rad Arcade Peak Top is replacement glass for a Puffco Peak.

Summary: The key facts are 5.4" × 2.1", a 45-degree recessed 14mm female joint, a diffused downstem perc, and three exterior decals.

🛒 Complete Your Setup

Hemper do not publish a bowl with this piece, and the joint is a standard 14mm female, so a male 14mm slide is the first thing worth adding — our glass bowls and slides range covers it. On a small bowl with no screen, 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.

Because three decals sit on the outside, Dr. Dabber Iso-Snaps are useful for interior clean-ups that keep alcohol away from the artwork. The full range sits in Hemper. Everything ships from our Los Angeles shop, with same-day pickup at 838 N Broadway.

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