GENERAL QUESTIONS
All of our pieces are made right here in Chatsworth, Los Angeles, CA. Purr is family owned & a small, tight-knit team with a passion for glassblowing. We're one of the original, longest-standing & established American glassblowing brands around, crafting high quality, hand blown glass pipes, bongs, rigs, bubblers, pendants & more.
Our name began when we created the first handheld bubblers on the market to include a 'per'forated downstem, now known as the diffused downstem. The name Purr Glass (pronounced "per" glass) represents our intense focus on functionality, having pioneered the bubbler pipe with hyper smooth hits in a palm-sized package. Its this focus on function, which has since expanded to all of our amazing production bongs, bubblers & rigs, that we were able to proudly provide quality glass to our community for almost two decades.
When shopping for a piece from us, there are a few things you will want to consider in order to find the best option for you. You should ask yourself whether you want to use a piece for bowls or as a rig. Are you a daily smoker or a once-in-a-while toker? Is portability something you require or do you need a smoke station for home? These, among other questions, are important factors in deciding the right piece for you. You can also check out our review videos for a lot of our glass to get in-depth information to make an even better decision.
We offer a 1-Year warranty available for purchase alongside a vast majority of our products. This warranty covers any kind of damage or breakage that occurs within a year from delivery for a full replacement or repair. You can learn more about our policy, what it covers, & how to claim it on our Warranty page.
We have a wide variety of glassware that accomplishes very different tasks depending on what kind of smoke you are looking for. If you're looking for a piece with a bowl, our Double Chamber Bubbler is an excellent powerhouse with two separate water chambers that individually clean & diffuse your smoke. It was even voted by the community as the best bowl piece with the most health benefits for people with respiratory issues. If you love rigs, our Bud Vase & Decanters are both equally excellent diffusers for ultra smooth hits thanks to their Matrix percs.
If you need to cancel your order, contact us immediately. If your order has already shipped, you are responsible for any return shipment fees.

Depending on the type of piece you have, clearing a clog is different.

If you're unsure about what accessory will fit your piece, you should reference the size of the ground joint of your piece. If you are unsure about the size of your ground joint, you can measure the inner diameter. If its just under 1.5cm, then your ground joint is 14mm. If its just under 2cm, then your ground joint is 18mm. Note that some bongs will have an 18mm ground joint with a removable downstem. You will need the inner diameter for the ground joint of the downstem, which will typically be 14mm. This means the bowl/nail/dome required for that downstem will be 14mm.
