Our Chugga-Jug 2.0 Bubbler has finally arrived! For the longest time we searched for a bubbler which was shaped to be comfortably held during use without it accidentally sliding out of our hands. Not only this but it needed to provide great vapor cooling and conditioning... all while having the ability to work with whips and mouthpieces, since we know not everyone has the same shapes face... and not everyone wants to hold their bubbler! After a while we gave up and started work on the Chugga-Jug, which after many protoype iterations we're finally happy with!
We designed the Chugga-Jug to have a variable fill level. The sides taper in which forces the water/bubbles together adding conditioning over a straight tube design. Due to this shape, the bubbler can be filled with just a little water for high airflow setups, this will provide minimal airflow resistance and a very flavourful experience. Or it can be filled more heavily which is ideal for lower airflow setups such as carbed dab setups, the added water will provide more cooling, vapor conditioning and draw resistance to help you avoid inhaling too quickly. Please note that this is not magic, the bubbler can be overfilled and it is possible to draw water up the mouthpiece if you over fill it! There's just wide variation in the acceptable range.
The 18.8mm Female side joint has been offset away from the bubbler to provide more clearance between your hand and any hot housing or banger you may be using with it. A support strut has been added for improved stability. Due to the length of this part we would not advise leaving heavy setups such as the Taroma XL free-standing with the housing on the bubbler joint. While it is strong enough to support such setups, the added twisting (torsion) stresses caused by the hanging cable and handle may cause damage to the joint. The side 18.8 mm female joint is fully compatible with keck or sick clips to help keep your setups securely in place. These can be especially useful with bangers which may rotate into your hand while hot if care is not taken.
The mouthpiece also has an 18.8mm female joint inside and an open mouthpiece design which we hope will be compatible with the majority of people's lips. However we know not everyone finds the same mouthpieces comfortable and personally we like to use vaporizer hose/whips pretty regularly... so added the 18.8mm female joint which is compatible with a range of 18.8mm ground glass mouthpieces and whip adapters! The mouthpiece joint is not compatible with clips as they are not needed when using a regular ground glass mouthpiece and when using a whip, having this clipped to the top of your bubbler makes it very easy to pull them over, which we want to avoid! Without the clip, at least some of the time the whip adapter will be pulled out instead of pulling the bubbler over with it.
For a percolator our Chugga-Jug makes use of a true shower-head perc. We chose this style of percolator in part because it provides very good vapor conditioning, forcing the vapor through small holes into the water... but also because it allows for our bubbler to function as intended, accepting a wide range of fill levels without pushing water up into the mouthpiece. This style of percolator also allows a very small amount of water to be used for terp chasers who still want some vapor conditioning.

Updates
- We now have the Chugga-Jug feedback and have made some improvements to the new 2.0 version.
- Orders placed before 31st October 2023 all still have a 3 month warranty on the first breakage but this is no longer offered for new purchases as we have collected the required information on breakage patterns and updated the bubbler.
- After looking at the numbers we would have to increase the price by around 15% to accommodate for this warranty which we're guessing is not what most people would prefer. Most breakages were not due to an issue with the design (there was only one which related to this - a broken support bar which looked out of spec), people are just smashy innit!
