🧠 Our Verdict

Strong recommendation for collectors and anyone with an 18mm bong who wants a bowl with real personality. It works like any slide, and the antenna lid makes it the piece people pick up and ask about. If you want a cheap, high-volume daily bowl, a plain slide is the smarter buy.

Quick Summary

Pakoh is a glass artist whose sculpted work on our shelf includes sinks, urinals, buildings and robots in glass. The Television Bowl is a dry herb bowl with an 18mm male joint, so it fits bongs and downstems with an 18mm female joint. A squared amber-yellow cabinet carries a sandblasted screen on the front and a column of dials and a grille on the side. The antennas lift off to reveal a single-hole bowl. It measures about 3 inches tall and 1.5 inches wide.

Pakoh 18mm Television Bowl – A Retro TV With Rabbit Ears for a Lid

A bowl is a cup on a joint. Pakoh builds a whole object around it. This one is a small glass TV set: a rounded, squared-off cabinet in warm amber-yellow, a screen outlined in sandblasted line work, and a strip of dials over a ribbed speaker grille down one side. It looks like the set in a grandparent's living room, shrunk down to ride on your bong.

The antennas are the lid. Lift the rabbit ears and the single-hole bowl is underneath. Pack it, drop the antennas back on, and the glass in them shifts through blue, green and yellow as the light moves. The antennas meet in a small flat base, so the lid stays put while the piece sits on display.

The screen rewards a closer look. Pakoh drew it as a rounded rectangle with a second line inside, like the curved glass of an old tube set. Below the cabinet, a clear 18mm male joint slides into your piece.

Summary: A hand-sculpted retro TV with sandblasted detail and a lift-off rabbit-ear lid over a single-hole bowl.

⭐ Who This Product Is For / Not For

Ideal For:

• Collectors of Pakoh and sculpted novelty glass.
• Flower smokers with an 18mm female bong joint or downstem.
• Anyone who wants the bowl to be the conversation piece.
• Gift buyers shopping for a bong owner who has everything.

Not Recommended For:

• 14mm setups. The joint is 18mm male.
• Concentrate users. For a Pakoh dab piece, look at the Pakoh 18mm Sink Dome.
• Big group sessions. A single-hole bowl this size suits one or two people.

Summary: Built for 18mm flower setups and collectors; not for 14mm joints or dabs.

⚠️ Known Limitations

• 18mm male only. It needs an 18mm female joint or downstem.
• Small bowl. The sculpture is the big part; the bowl itself is single-hole and modest.
• Sculpted glass. The antennas are thin and break first if the lid drops.
• Keep flame on the bowl. Heat on the cabinet scorches the sandblasted detail.

Summary: 18mm only, a modest bowl, delicate antennas, and flame kept off the sculpture.

📐 Structured Specs

Summary: A 3-inch sculpted borosilicate bowl with an 18mm male joint and antenna lid, at $249.99.

🔌 Compatibility & Requirements

Compatible with:

• Bongs and water pipes with an 18mm female joint.
• 18mm female downstems and ash catcher inlets.
• Ground dry herb, with an optional screen for fine grinds.

NOT compatible with:

• 14mm or 10mm joints without an adapter.
• Male joints. This bowl is male and needs a female joint.
• Concentrates and dab setups.

Joint sizes are named for outside diameter. If an 18mm slide already fits your bong snugly, this one fits too.

Summary: Fits 18mm female joints for flower; not 14mm joints or dab setups.

🧼 How to Use & Troubleshooting

1. Lift off the antenna lid and set it on a soft surface.
2. Pack the bowl with ground flower. Add a screen for fine grinds.
3. Seat the bowl in your bong's 18mm female joint.
4. Light the bowl only, keeping the flame off the cabinet.
5. Let it cool before refitting the lid or cleaning.

Troubleshooting:

• Problem: the bowl wobbles in the joint. Solution: check the joint is 18mm female, not 14mm.
• Problem: material pulls through. Solution: grind coarser or add a small screen.
• Problem: dark marks on the cabinet. Solution: aim the flame at the bowl only, and clean cold.

Cleaning: soak the cool bowl and lid in isopropyl alcohol with coarse salt, swish gently, and rinse with warm water. Our cleaning and maintenance guide walks through the same routine.

💬 Common Questions & Answers

Does the Pakoh Television Bowl fit a 14mm bong?

No. The Pakoh 18mm Television Bowl has an 18mm male joint, so it fits bongs, downstems and ash catchers with an 18mm female joint. A 14mm joint is smaller and needs a 14mm bowl, or an adapter that adds height under the sculpture. If an 18mm slide already sits snugly in your piece, this bowl fits it the same way.

Do the antennas come off?

Yes. The rabbit-ear antennas are the lid. Lift them off to pack the single-hole bowl underneath, then set them back on top, where they sit flat on the cabinet. Put the lid on a soft surface while you smoke, and let the bowl cool before you refit it. The antennas are thin glass, so they break first if dropped.

How big is the bowl?

The whole piece stands about 3 inches tall and 1.5 inches wide, but most of that is sculpture. The bowl under the lid is single-hole and modest, sized for one or two people rather than a big group session. The single hole keeps fine material from pulling through. Add a small screen if you grind very fine.

Can I use it for dabs?

No. This is a flower bowl. It has no nail or dab surface, and torching concentrate in it would scorch the glass and waste the material. For a Pakoh piece made for concentrates, look at the Pakoh sink and urinal vapor domes, which sit over a domed nail on a rig with a male joint.

Who is Pakoh?

Pakoh is a glass artist who sculpts everyday objects in borosilicate glass. The Pakoh pieces on our shelf include sinks, urinals, a building, a robot rig and this television, several with sandblasted detail and logo. Pakoh also collaborates with other artists, like Dale Sommers on the weave domes we carry. The Television Bowl is one of the artist's working accessories, sized to use as well as display.

How do I clean it without damaging the detail?

Let the bowl and lid cool completely, then soak them in isopropyl alcohol with coarse salt. Swish gently rather than scrubbing, so the sandblasted screen and dials stay crisp, and rinse with warm water. Never run hot glass under cold water. Keeping the flame on the bowl only, not the cabinet, keeps the detail clean between washes.

Summary: 18mm male fit, a lift-off antenna lid, a modest single-hole bowl, flower only, and gentle cold cleaning.
