01

Choose Your Base

Start with any beaker base from above. The 34mm female joint is the foundation for everything else. Consider water volume and stability – bigger bases handle larger percolator stacks better.

02

Add Percolators (Optional, but Recommended)

Stack one or more percolators on top of the base. Tree, matrix, honeycomb, or showerhead – all percs have 34mm male/female joints. Simply place the perc onto the base (or previous perc). For a beaker, we recommend a matrix or honeycomb for smooth hits.

03

Pick Your Mouthpiece

Choose from classic bent neck, S‑curve, spiral, glycerin coil, or angled top. The mouthpiece determines your draw angle and cooling. For a beaker, a bent neck or angled top offers comfort and splash protection.

04

Secure with Clips

Slide the silicone/plastic clips over each joint (base to perc, perc to mouthpiece). They lock everything together with a satisfying click. No twisting, no tools. To disassemble, just remove the clips.

Expanding Your Beaker Build

The beauty of the 34mm system is infinite customization. You can:

  • Switch the mouthpiece – Replace the standard mouthpiece with a glycerin top for freezable hits.
  • Add more percs – Stack 2, 3, or even 4 percolators for maximum diffusion.
  • Swap the base – Convert your beaker into a straight tube or sphere base in seconds.
  • Mix accessories – Add an ash catcher or a 14/18mm bowl adapter.
