Gandalf Glass Pipe w/ Natural Perc by Chameleon Glass

The Chameleon Glass Gandalf Natural Perc Glass Bubbler Water Pipe doesn’t require you to have a beard, but it sure looks good with one. Functionally, the Gandalf model took a while to perfect back in 2002, torches were not as well designed and glass was more brittle, so, the model really took some doing to get the gather and then the stretch to expand uniformly. Chameleon Glass designed the -Gandalf Glass Pipe as a throwback to the classic pipe style that they fell in love with after LOTR débuted in 2001. The Gandalf Natural Perc Glass Bubbler Water Pipe is a new take on a venerated design.

Chameleon Glass have been producing and selling Gandalfs ever since.  By chance, Ken, from Chameleon, noticed some unusual behavior of water while he was cleaning his.  Enough water was left in the pipe after a rinse that airflow was blocked.  When he inhaled through the pipe, the water always returned to block the airflow, which is how a Natural Percolator works.

Problem was, the surface tension of water caused it to climb (even the steep neck of a Gandalf) and end up in his mouth- Yuck!   He broke out his old fluid dynamics book and then cross referenced it against his Scientific Apparatus books.  He found that a simple in line bubble would break the surface tension and cause the water to fall back against gravity into the air flow. Call him Bandobras!

Close your eyes, flick your lighter, and light up like you’re in the Shire.
