The first pull feels like a warm night in the woods, owl hooting softly as the smoke slides smooth through the percolator.

What It Is

The Hootie's Family Tree Mini Rig is a genuine bong from Empire Glassworks, crafted from sturdy glass that holds up to daily sessions. Its 14mm female ground joint sits on a reinforced banger hanger, and a fully worked 3‑hole percolator smooths every draw. The compact design stands just under 6 inches tall, making it perfect for both desktop and portable setups.

Designed with a bold mother owl and her fledglings, this piece adds personality to your shelf while delivering the performance you expect from the Empire Glassworks collection. The owl trio’s placement around the percolator helps guide airflow for even diffusion. If you’re browsing our selection of glass bongs and water pipes, the Mini Rig stands out for its balance of art and function.

Why You’ll Love It

Here’s why this little owl will become your go‑to:

  • Clean smoke: the 3‑hole percolator filters out harshness for a silky hit every time.
  • Easy upkeep: a quick rinse with isopropyl and coarse salt keeps flavor fresh without fuss.
  • Built to last: thick glass construction survives the rigors of daily use and accidental bumps.
  • Part compatibility: the standard 14mm joint means bowls and ash catchers swap in effortlessly.
  • Authentic brand: you receive the real Empire Glassworks piece, not a re‑label, so specs match the listing every time.

How To Use It

Fill the base with water until the percolator slits are just covered, grind medium, pack the bowl loosely, and draw slow and steady. Change water daily and deep‑clean weekly with 91%+ isopropyl and coarse salt to keep flavor factory‑fresh. After each session, give the rig a quick rinse to prevent residue buildup and enjoy the smooth, owl‑inspired experience knowing your rig is easy to maintain and built to last.

Frequently Asked Questions

What material is the Hootie's Family Tree Mini Rig made from?
The Mini Rig is constructed entirely from high‑quality glass, providing a clear view of the smoke and ensuring durability for everyday use. Glass also preserves flavor without adding any unwanted taste.
How does the 3‑hole percolator affect the smoking experience on the Hootie's Family Tree Mini Rig?
The three‑hole percolator diffuses the aerosol through multiple pathways, creating finer bubbles that filter out harsh particles. The result is a smoother, cooler hit with richer flavor on every draw.
Who is the Hootie's Family Tree Mini Rig best suited for?
This rig is perfect for owl‑loving tokers and anyone who appreciates a compact, artistically designed bong that delivers smooth hits, easy maintenance, and reliable performance in a daily‑use package.
What size bong should I choose?
Smaller bongs (under 10") deliver more flavor and are easier to store and clean; larger pieces (14"+ ) give bigger, smoother hits thanks to more water filtration and cooling distance. If it's your first piece, a 10-12" beaker is the classic starting point.
How do I know what joint size my bong uses?
Most bongs use a 14mm or 18mm ground-glass joint; smaller pieces sometimes use 10mm. Check the product specs above — the bowl included with your bong will match. If you're replacing a bowl, measure the inside diameter of the joint or compare it to a dime (14mm) or a nickel (18mm).
What does a percolator actually do?
A percolator breaks your smoke into smaller bubbles as it passes through water, increasing surface contact for cooling and filtration. Tree, honeycomb, matrix, and inline percs each trade off smoothness against drag — more diffusion means cooler hits but slightly more pull resistance.
How often should I clean my bong?
For the best flavor, change the water daily and deep-clean weekly with 91-99% isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt. Shake, let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly with warm water. Regular cleaning prevents resin buildup and keeps percolators working like new.
Is thicker glass worth it?
Thicker glass (5mm+) survives the bumps and tip-overs that end most bongs' lives, and it feels noticeably more solid in hand. If you use your piece daily or have pets, kids, or clumsy friends around, thick glass is the best insurance you can buy.

How to get it right

1

Fill to the percs

Water should just cover the percolator slits - too much causes splash, too little kills filtration.

2

Grind and pack loose

A medium grind packed loose keeps airflow open and burns even. A screen keeps the bowl clean.

3

Fresh water, every time

Daily water changes and a weekly iso-and-salt shake keep every hit tasting like the first one.
