Hemper Alien XL 9.1 Inch Showerhead Perc Bong

The Alien XL is a novelty glass bong from Hemper and the larger version of its Alien Bong. Instead of stopping at the head, this one sculpts the alien's whole bust in transparent green glass, with eyes that glow. It is made for dry herb and suits anyone who wants a conversation piece that also works as an everyday water pipe.

The design choice that matters most is the filtration. Smoke passes through two percolator stages, a showerhead perc into a diffused straight perc, so it is a better pick for someone who wants a filtered pull than for someone who wants a bare-bones tube. The joint is a female glass-on-glass joint, so check that your bowl or slide is a male piece with a matching joint size and angle before ordering. If you are comparing styles, browse more percolator bongs or see what else Hemper makes. A bong cleaning tool will make upkeep easier, since the sculpted bust and two perc stages give resin more places to collect.

It is a good fit for collectors and gift buyers who like character pieces, and for anyone who wants a novelty bong that is functional rather than purely decorative.
