The V2 Globe Matrix bubbler in Dark Glass is a high quality, medium to large glass bubbler with a minimalistic design. Contained inside is a matrix percolation head which allows for free flowing inhales and accurate flavour profiles. This style of bubbler has some of the lowest draw resistance we've encountered. Also available in Clear Glass.
Being upgraded, the V2 Globe Matrix bubbler has two intake ports, the top one is 14mm or 18mm (select your option from the menu) and a side port which is 10mm. The dual ports can be used together or one can be plugged with the provided stoppers, leaving you a single port for your setup. The additional port can also be used like a carb hole to clear your bubbler! In addition to the two intake ports it also has a 14mm or 18mm (depending on which version you choose) mouthpiece port with included mouthpiece.
Stability is a big bonus here too. Due to the large water capacity the Globe Matrix has a low centre of gravity, the 14mm female joint is also mounted centrally to keep most of the weight in the middle. When it does start to tip, unlike with regular bubblers which instantly tip and fall, the Globe Matrix bubbler rocks to the side then back into place, providing it isn't pulled too far. If you'd like to make it super stable please check out the Big Rig Stand linked below.
Compatible with glass mouthpieces (one included) and vaporizer hose (included, along with a basic whip adapter) this is a very versatile bubbler. We have ours set up with the upgraded coloured Vinyl Hose which fits directly into the 14mm female mouthpiece joint on the 14mm version, however we strongly suggest using an Angled Whip Adapter as this can rotate in the glass joint and come out easily if you accidentally tug it, instead of pulling your bubbler off whatever surface it's on! Whip Mouthpieces for these are also available. Please not the whip adapters mentioned here are not compatible with the stock whip that comes with the bubbler, only the upgraded ones.
We prefer vinyl over the provided Silicone as it's more flexible, collects less residue and is wider. The included tube is a little thinner, as are the hose adapters and we've found this limits the airflow. With a Vinyl hose and an upgraded adapter instead, it is super free flowing.
Also available is a new full whip assembly which provides a good middle ground between the original ones and the upgrade setups from Elev8. They have a longer, softer and more flexible whip that has a larger internal diameter than the ones which come with the bubblers, so provide more airflow and freedom of movement. They don't have quite as much airflow as the Elev8 ones but are still a good upgrade over the orignals and are a fair bit cheaper than the Elev8 setups. Available here!
Cleaning
- One of the easiest to clean
- Run the hot tap through the top intake hole to heat the bubbler and pull residue off the sides
- When hot and full of hot water hold the bubbler tight (not by the joints) and shake it gently. The water will swill around inside pulling off residue.
- Rinse and repeat
- If you still find there is residue you can put a little ISO inside and swill it around, then rinse again with hot water.

Please note these bubblers will now come with plain, non-dimpled mouthpieces. This decision was made by the manufacturer since the dimples make a very marginal difference for these setups and are harder to manufacture, leading to higher failure rates and more waste.
