Weed Star Glass Skull Bowl 18.8mm Clear — Product Overview
The Weed Star Glass Skull Bowl is a clear borosilicate glass herb bowl designed to fit any bong or water pipe equipped with a standard 18.8mm female joint. Priced at just £3.95, this 18.8mm glass skull bowl punches well above its weight in terms of both visual impact and practical performance. Whether you are replacing a tired bowl piece or simply want something with more personality on your rig, the Weed Star Skull Bowl delivers a head-turning aesthetic without putting a dent in your budget.
Design and Aesthetics
The skull motif is immediately striking. Weed Star have built a reputation over the years for producing themed glassware that merges artistic expression with everyday functionality, and this bowl sits comfortably in that tradition. The clear borosilicate glass means every detail of the sculpted skull form is fully visible, giving the piece a distinctive, eye-catching quality that makes it a natural conversation starter at any session. The transparency is not purely decorative either — it allows you to see exactly how much herb you have packed and how evenly it is burning, giving you practical feedback as you use it.
Materials and Build Quality
Borosilicate glass is widely recognised as the material of choice for quality smoking accessories. Its low coefficient of thermal expansion means it handles repeated heating and cooling cycles far better than standard soda-lime glass, significantly reducing the risk of cracking or shattering under the heat of a lighter. The Weed Star Skull Bowl feels solid in the hand, and the clear finish makes it straightforward to identify residue build-up so you can keep the piece clean and in good working order. If you prefer a metal alternative for outdoor use, the Windproof Metal Cone Piece is worth a look as a complementary option for your collection.
Specifications and Compatibility
The bowl features an 18.8mm male joint, which is one of the most widely used joint sizes on larger bongs and water pipes. If your piece has a standard 18.8mm female joint, this bowl will fit straight in with no adapters required. It is always worth confirming your bong joint size before purchasing — 14.5mm female joints are also common and would need a different bowl size. For a 14.5mm setup, the ROOR Crown Bowl 14.5 is an alternative worth considering. No screen is included with this bowl, so if you want to prevent fine material from being drawn through into the downstem and water chamber, picking up a pack of Basil Bush Steel Screens 17mm – Pack Options is a practical and affordable addition.
How to Use the Weed Star Skull Bowl
Using this bowl is simple. Grind your herb to a medium consistency, pack it to your preferred level, and seat the 18.8mm male joint securely into your bong’s female socket. A screen placed in the base of the bowl will help catch finer particles and make cleaning noticeably easier. For quick maintenance between deeper cleans, Namaste Cleaning Wipes are a handy on-the-go solution. Always allow the bowl to cool before handling after a session, and clean regularly to maintain optimal airflow and flavour quality.
Building Out Your Setup
The Weed Star Glass Skull Bowl pairs naturally with a wide range of 18.8mm bong setups. If you want to enhance your rig further, the RoB HURRICANE Catalyst – Ashcatcher WAM sits between your bowl and your bong to catch ash and debris before it enters the main water chamber, keeping your piece cleaner for longer. For smoother, cooler hits, the Cooling Glycerin Attachment 19mm Green Grav Labs is a compatible upgrade that can noticeably improve the quality of each draw. Together, these accessories complement the skull bowl and help you build a more complete, well-filtered session setup.
