MJ Arsenal Steamboat 10cm Glass Bubbler

The MJ Arsenal Steamboat Bubbler is a seriously compact little water pipe that manages to squeeze proper bubbler functionality into a piece measuring just under 10cm.

Part of MJ Arsenal's Alpine collection, the Steamboat combines clear borosilicate glass with milled black walnut accents around the base and mouthpiece. It gives the bubbler a completely different look to the usual all-glass pipe without getting overly flashy.

At approximately 9.9cm x 9.4cm, it fits comfortably in the hand while still giving you a genuine water chamber, built-in bowl and carb-controlled airflow.

Small Bubbler, Proper Water Filtration

The Steamboat sits neatly between a dry hand pipe and a conventional bong.

You get the compact proportions and simple handling of a pipe, but with a small water chamber that allows the smoke to pass through water before reaching the mouthpiece.

That makes it a useful choice if you like the idea of water filtration but don't necessarily want a tall bong sitting around.

Borosilicate Glass & Black Walnut

The main body is made from 100% borosilicate glass, while milled black walnut is used for the Steamboat's distinctive Alpine detailing.

Borosilicate glass is commonly used for quality smoking accessories because of its resistance to heat and normal temperature changes. It is still glass, though, so it isn't unbreakable and should be protected from drops and hard impacts.

The walnut gives the Steamboat a warmer, more understated finish and provides a nice contrast against the clear glass chamber.

Compact 10cm Design

MJ Arsenal lists the Steamboat at approximately 3.9 x 3.7 inches, which works out at around 9.9 x 9.4cm.

That small footprint is one of its biggest attractions. It takes up very little space compared with a traditional bong and is easy to hold, store and move around.

Its wider proportions also mean it doesn't feel like an elongated pipe despite its compact overall size.

18mm Bowl & Left-Side Carb

The Steamboat features an approximately 18mm built-in bowl and a carb positioned on the left-hand side of the piece.

The carb lets you control the airflow with a fingertip. Cover it while drawing through the mouthpiece, then release it when you want to increase airflow and clear the remaining smoke.

Because the bowl is incorporated directly into the bubbler, there is no separate flower bowl or downstem to keep track of.

Made for Easier Cleaning

One particularly useful feature of the Steamboat is that the walnut sections can be treated separately from the glass when it comes to cleaning.

MJ Arsenal recommends cleaning the borosilicate glass with isopropyl alcohol, while the non-glass sections can be wiped using a microfiber cloth with warm, soapy water.

This is important because you don't want to soak the walnut pieces in alcohol every time you give the bubbler a proper clean.
