A disc perc refers to a diffuser or percolator design that consists of stacked discs with small slits or holes to filter and diffuse smoke.
Disc perks are common in bong and dab rig designs due to their diffusion capabilities and ease of construction.
Let’s take a closer look at how disc percs function.
What is a Disc Perc?
A disc perc contains a series of discs or plates separated by small gaps, with slits or holes cut into the discs.
As smoke passes through these narrow openings, it gets broken up into fine bubbles, increasing diffusion and filtration.
The gaps between the discs or plates segment the smoke into smaller streams for added diffusion.
Disc perks come in many variations, including 3D spherical designs and concentric stacked discs. The number of discs and holes can also be customized to modify filtration levels.
Some attachment or removable disc pieces are also available for consumers to add diffusion to existing pieces.
Benefits of Disc Percs
The key benefits of disc perks include:
- Excellent diffusion from multiple perforations
- Smoother, cooler smoke from increased water contact
- Great diffusion-to-draw resistance ratio
- Reduced likelihood of pulling Scooby snacks or ash
- Quality filtration without muting flavors
Thanks to their simplicity and performance, disc percs are a go-to choice for water pipe designers and glassblowers seeking reliable smoke diffusion.
