About MAV Glass

Maverick Glass was founded in 2000 in Los Angeles, California, making it one of the longest-running American glass companies in the smoking accessories industry. The name "Maverick" reflects the brand's philosophy — independent-minded, unorthodox, and unwilling to compromise between creativity and performance. Over two decades later, MAV Glass has become a staple brand in headshops and online retailers nationwide, known for producing thick, durable, handcrafted scientific glass with eye-catching color work and advanced percolation engineering.

MAV Glass manufactures all of their pieces using 100% American borosilicate glass. Their standard glass thickness is 5mm across most product lines, with their flagship beaker bongs built at a hefty 9mm — thick enough to survive the bumps and knocks of daily use. Every piece features a baked-on logo for a clean, professional finish, and their signature color work uses exotic shades like sea foam, amber, forest green, ooze, slime, coffee, honey, butter, and many more. MAV also produces heady-style pieces using wig wag and reversal techniques, including their Mandala line that incorporates sacred geometry designs.

The company prides itself on core values centered around family, people, and products. Their team-oriented culture translates directly to the care and attention evident in every piece they produce. MAV Glass consistently pushes boundaries — their tree percs feature twelve arms instead of the industry-standard eight, their straight tubes have four chambers instead of three, and they'll engineer a turbine percolator into practically anything, including ash catchers. That relentless pursuit of doing more is what has kept MAV at the forefront of the glass industry for over twenty years.

MAV Glass Product Categories

Beaker Bongs — MAV's beaker bongs are among their most iconic products and the foundation of the brand's lineup. Built with 9mm thick borosilicate glass, 50mm tube diameters, 130mm base diameters, and removable diffused downstems, these beakers are built to last. Available in heights from 12 inches to 21 inches, with the 18-inch beaker being their signature size. MAV beakers feature their trademark full-color design — solid colored necks with matching bases — creating a vibrant, eye-catching piece that's also incredibly easy to clean. Most include ice pinches for extra cooling. Their beaker bong kits bundle the bong with a matching ash catcher and accessories for a ready-to-rip setup. Available in a massive range of colors and limited-edition themed designs including glow-in-the-dark space art, Halloween bats, patriotic red/white/blue editions, and mushroom trip designs.

Straight Tube Bongs — MAV's straight tubes take the classic cylindrical bong design and push it further with multi-chamber filtration, advanced percolators, and the same thick glass construction found across their lineup. Their straight tubes feature configurations with triple honeycomb percolators, turbine discs, frit discs, and UFO percs. The multi-chamber straight shots use four stacked chambers instead of the typical three, providing exceptional filtration for smooth, cool hits from dry herb. Ideal for smokers who prefer the direct, fast-clearing airflow of a straight tube over the larger volume of a beaker.

Recyclers — Recyclers are where MAV Glass truly showcases their engineering expertise, and it's the product category that built much of their reputation. MAV produces an extensive range of recycler styles including Klein recyclers, vortex recyclers, waffle recyclers, barrel recyclers, puck recyclers, incyclers, double uptake recyclers, and hourglass recyclers. Their Double Barrel Chamber Recycler is a standout design featuring dual barrel chambers connected by two separation tubes — one directs unused water into the recycling chamber while the other sends it back to the percolator, creating continuous water circulation for unmatched filtration and flavor preservation. Named models include the Lido Recycler (a compact 7-inch ergonomic piece named after an isle near Newport Beach), the Trestle Color Combo Recycler (8.25 inches with a slit reverse perc), and the Pacifica Recycler. Most MAV recyclers use 14mm female joints, making them ideal for use with quartz bangers for dabbing.

Dab Rigs — Beyond their recycler lineup, MAV produces a wide range of dedicated dab rigs in compact, concentrate-friendly sizes. Their rigs include globe chamber designs with honey ball percs, ring-neck rigs with inverted showerhead percolators, and the Birthday Cake Rig with 4-hole percolation and a 52mm smoke chamber. MAV dab rigs typically range from 4 inches (the Bulb Dab Rig with two-hole diffuser and 70mm base) to 10 inches. They also produce the Beacon 2.0, a classic two-hole diffuser rig with a 90-degree angle joint. MAV has partnered with Puffco to produce the Puffco Proxy Rig in their Catalina Edition, making MAV glass compatible with one of the most popular portable e-rig platforms. Most rigs feature 14mm joints and include a quartz banger or bowl piece.

Scientific Glass (Inline & Multi-Perc Pieces) — MAV's scientific glass lineup features advanced percolation systems engineered for maximum filtration and smooth airflow. This includes inline percolator bongs with gridded slits, multi-turbine disc pieces (some with three stacked turbine discs), frit disc bongs for ultra-fine diffusion, and showerhead percolator designs. Their Mega Double Showerhead Water Pipe is a standout piece showcasing MAV's ability to combine multiple percolation stages into a single cohesive design. Scientific pieces from MAV are typically made with 5mm thick borosilicate glass and range from 9 to 16 inches in height.

Glycerin Coil Bongs & Freezable Systems — MAV produces detachable glycerin coil systems that can be frozen and attached to compatible bongs for ice-cold hits without the mess of melting ice cubes. Their 16-inch Glycerin Coil Water Pipe features an oversized downstem with a 7-arm tree perc and a detachable glycerin coil section. The Oversized Slitted Pyramid Beaker with Freezable Coil System is their premium offering, combining a pyramid-style beaker base with a slitted percolator and a full glycerin coil head. MAV also offers 18-inch beaker bongs with removable freezable glycerin coil heads. The glycerin coil section stores in the freezer and snaps on when you're ready to smoke, delivering cooled hits that preserve flavor better than ice. See our freezable bongs collection for more options.

Ash Catchers — MAV Glass produces one of the most comprehensive ash catcher lineups in the industry. Their ash catchers add a second stage of water filtration to any bong while keeping ash and debris out of the main chamber. Available styles include honeycomb disc ash catchers, showerhead ash catchers (including the vertical showerhead and double showerhead recycler versions), turbine ash catchers (their signature turbine recycling ash catcher is unlike anything else on the market), inline ash catchers, and recycling shower ash catchers. Available in both 14mm and 18mm joint sizes with 45-degree and 90-degree angle options. Heights range from 4 to 6 inches. MAV's beaker + ash catcher sets bundle a matching ash catcher with their beaker bongs at a discounted kit price.

Bubblers — MAV's bubblers deliver water-filtered smoothness in compact, portable formats. The Bent Neck Showerhead Bubbler is a popular option combining a showerhead percolator with an ergonomic bent neck design to prevent splashback. MAV bubblers use the same thick borosilicate glass and vibrant color work found in their larger pieces, making them ideal for smokers who want MAV quality in a smaller, more travel-friendly package.

Hand Pipes & Chillums — MAV produces hand pipes including sherlock pipes (widely praised for their clean, sculptural lines), spoon pipes, and chillums with built-in honeycomb screens for added filtration even in a dry pipe. Their chillum with honeycomb screen is approximately 4 inches and available in various colors. MAV even produces a one-hitter/chillum 3D holder set that includes a hemp wick and lighter — a complete portable smoking kit.

Parts & Accessories — MAV rounds out their lineup with replacement parts and accessories including bowl pieces and slides, diffused downstems (standard 4.5-inch and 5-inch lengths), keck clips for securing glycerin coils and ash catchers, 3D printed cover caps for coils and splash-proof ash catchers, mood mats, bat stands, and bundle sets. Their accessories use the same color matching and build quality as their main pieces.

What Makes MAV Glass Different

Handcrafted in Los Angeles with American glass. Every MAV piece is made in their LA facility using 100% American borosilicate glass. This isn't overseas mass production — it's skilled glass blowers crafting each piece by hand, which is why MAV pieces have a consistency, weight, and finish that's hard to match at their price point.

Exceptionally thick glass. While many brands use 3mm to 4mm glass, MAV's standard is 5mm across most of their lineup, and their beaker bongs are built at 9mm — among the thickest production beakers available. This translates to a heavy, stable piece that can handle everyday use without the anxiety of thin glass.

Signature color work. MAV is known for their bold, vibrant color palettes that go well beyond the standard clear or single-accent options from other brands. Their exotic color range — sea foam, amber, forest green, ooze, slime, coffee, honey, butter, and more — gives each piece a unique personality. They also produce heady-style pieces with wig wag patterns, reversals, and sacred geometry Mandala designs that blur the line between production glass and art glass.

Advanced percolation engineering. MAV consistently over-engineers their filtration systems. Twelve-arm tree percs instead of eight. Four-chamber straight tubes instead of three. Turbine percolators in ash catchers. Double showerhead recycling ash catchers. Klein recyclers, waffle recyclers, barrel recyclers, and designs you won't find from any other brand. Every MAV piece is designed to deliver the smoothest, coolest hit possible.

Broad price range without sacrificing quality. MAV Glass offers pieces ranging from affordable chillums and hand pipes under $40 to premium glycerin coil systems and bundled beaker kits. Whether you're spending $55 on a compact dab rig or $400+ on a freezable coil beaker system, you get the same thick glass, baked-on branding, and MAV build quality.

Wide product ecosystem. MAV isn't just a bong company — they produce a complete ecosystem of compatible glass including bongs, rigs, recyclers, ash catchers, downstems, bowl pieces, bubblers, hand pipes, and accessories. You can build an entire MAV collection where every piece matches in color and quality, and ash catchers and accessories are purpose-designed to fit their bongs.

MAV Glass Colors & Limited Editions

One of the things that sets MAV apart is their commitment to bold, vibrant color work. Their standard color range includes sea foam, amber, forest green, ooze, slime, coffee, honey, butter, black, white, pink, purple, blue, and many more — with new colors rotating into production regularly. Their full-color beaker bongs feature solid colored necks with matching bases, creating a striking visual impact that makes each piece a display-worthy centerpiece.

MAV also regularly releases limited-edition themed pieces including glow-in-the-dark designs (Space Beaker), seasonal releases (Halloween Bats Beaker), patriotic editions (red/white/blue Veterans Day pieces), psychedelic themes (Shroom Trip), and artistic collections (Mandala line with sacred geometry). Their wig wag and reversal techniques push their production glass into heady territory, offering art-glass aesthetics at production-glass prices. Limited editions sell out and don't always come back, so if you see a design you love, grab it.

Who Should Buy MAV Glass?

MAV Glass is an excellent choice for anyone who values thick, durable American-made glass with standout aesthetics. Daily flower smokers will love their 9mm beaker bongs — built heavy enough to sit confidently on a table and thick enough to survive the occasional bump. Concentrate enthusiasts will appreciate their extensive recycler lineup, which delivers the continuous water filtration and flavor preservation that dabbing demands. If you're looking to upgrade an existing bong, their ash catcher collection is one of the deepest and most innovative available, with styles ranging from simple honeycomb discs to complex turbine recycling designs.

MAV is also a fantastic gift choice for someone who cares about both aesthetics and performance — the bold colors and glossy finish make every MAV piece feel special, while the thick construction ensures it will last. Their beaker + ash catcher kits make particularly great gifts since everything the recipient needs is included in one set.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is MAV Glass made?

MAV Glass is handcrafted in Los Angeles, California. Founded in the year 2000, Maverick Glass has been producing American-made glass for over two decades. All pieces are made using 100% American borosilicate glass by skilled glass blowers in their LA facility. The company's long history of American manufacturing is a key part of what sets them apart from brands that rely on overseas production.

How thick is MAV Glass?

MAV Glass uses 5mm thick borosilicate glass as their standard across most product lines including recyclers, dab rigs, straight tubes, ash catchers, and scientific pieces. Their flagship beaker bongs are built at 9mm thickness — among the thickest production beakers available. The 9mm beakers feature 50mm tube diameters and 130mm base diameters, creating an exceptionally heavy, stable piece that can handle daily use without worry.

What is MAV Glass known for?

MAV Glass is known for three things: thick, durable American-made borosilicate glass; bold, vibrant color work using exotic shades not commonly found from other brands; and advanced percolation engineering that consistently pushes past industry norms. Their tree percs use twelve arms instead of eight, their straight tubes feature four chambers instead of three, and they produce innovative designs like turbine recycling ash catchers that combine multiple filtration technologies. Their recycler lineup is particularly acclaimed in the concentrate community.

Are MAV Glass bongs good for beginners?

Yes. MAV's classic beaker bongs are excellent for beginners because they combine simple, easy-to-use designs with premium build quality. The 18-inch beaker is straightforward to use (just add water, pack the bowl, and light), easy to clean due to the wide beaker base, and the 9mm thick glass is forgiving of the occasional knock or tip. They also offer pieces across a wide price range, so beginners can start with an affordable piece and upgrade later without leaving the brand's ecosystem.

What joint size do MAV Glass pieces use?

Most MAV Glass bongs and rigs use 14mm female joints, which is the most common and versatile size in the industry. Their larger beaker bongs may use 18mm or 19mm joints. Their ash catchers are available in both 14mm and 18mm with 45-degree and 90-degree angle options to match different bong configurations. Always check the specific product listing for joint size details to ensure compatibility with your existing bowls, bangers, and accessories.

What is a MAV Glass recycler?

A MAV Glass recycler is a water pipe that continuously cycles water between two or more chambers, providing constant filtration and preventing water from sitting stagnant. MAV produces multiple recycler styles including Klein recyclers, vortex recyclers, waffle recyclers, barrel recyclers, puck recyclers, incyclers, and double uptake recyclers. Recyclers are particularly popular for dabbing because the continuous water movement preserves terpene flavor while still filtering the vapor. MAV's recyclers are widely regarded as some of the best-engineered in the industry.

Can I use a MAV Glass bong for dabs?

Yes. Any MAV Glass bong with a female joint can be converted for dabbing by replacing the flower bowl with a quartz banger of the matching joint size and angle. However, for the best dabbing experience, MAV's recyclers and dedicated dab rigs are specifically designed for concentrates — their smaller chambers, continuous water recycling, and compact size preserve flavor and deliver smooth, low-temperature hits that larger bongs can't match. MAV also produces the Puffco Proxy Rig (Catalina Edition) for use with the Puffco Proxy portable vaporizer.

How do I clean MAV Glass?

Clean MAV Glass pieces using isopropyl alcohol (91% or higher) and coarse salt. Remove all detachable components (bowl, downstem, ash catcher, glycerin coil), pour alcohol and salt into the bong, cover the openings, and shake vigorously. For stubborn buildup, let the piece soak for 30 minutes to an hour before shaking. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. For ash catchers and recyclers with internal chambers, soaking is often more effective than shaking. Clean your MAV pieces regularly to maintain optimal airflow and flavor. Browse our bong cleaners for specialized cleaning solutions.

What is a MAV Glass glycerin coil bong?

MAV's glycerin coil bongs feature a detachable upper section filled with glycerin — a non-toxic gel that freezes at a much lower temperature than water and stays cold longer than ice. You store the glycerin coil section in your freezer and attach it to the bong when ready to smoke. As smoke passes through the frozen coil, it's chilled dramatically for ice-cold, smooth hits without the mess of melting ice cubes or the risk of water level changes. MAV's glycerin coil pieces include tree perc and inline perc bases for dual-stage cooling and filtration.

How much do MAV Glass bongs cost?

MAV Glass offers pieces across a wide price range. Hand pipes and chillums start under $40. Compact dab rigs begin around $55 to $90. Their classic 18-inch 9mm beaker bongs range from approximately $109 to $139 depending on color and edition. Recyclers typically range from $130 to $200+. Ash catchers run from $40 to $80. Premium pieces like the glycerin coil systems and large bundled kits can reach $300 to $460+. Limited editions and heady-style pieces may command higher prices. Across every price point, MAV delivers consistent thickness, quality glass, and their signature color work.

Do MAV Glass ash catchers fit other bongs?

Yes. MAV Glass ash catchers use standard joint sizes (14mm and 18mm) and standard angles (45-degree and 90-degree), so they're compatible with any bong that has a matching female joint size and angle. To choose the right ash catcher, you need to know your bong's joint size and the angle of the joint — a 90-degree ash catcher works with straight (vertical) joints, while a 45-degree ash catcher works with angled joints commonly found on beaker bongs. MAV's ash catchers include their own built-in bowl piece, so you just attach the ash catcher to your bong and pack the ash catcher's bowl.

What colors does MAV Glass come in?

MAV Glass is known for one of the widest and most unique color ranges in the industry. Their standard palette includes sea foam, amber, forest green, ooze, slime, coffee, honey, butter, black, white, pink, purple, blue, red, and many more exotic options. They also produce heady-style pieces with wig wag patterns and reversals, glow-in-the-dark designs, and seasonal limited editions. New colors rotate into production regularly, and limited-edition colorways sell out and may not return. Their full-color beakers feature matching neck and base colors for a cohesive, striking look.

Is MAV Glass durable?

MAV Glass is among the most durable production glass available. Their borosilicate glass construction (the same type used in laboratory glassware) is resistant to thermal shock and significantly stronger than standard glass. At 5mm standard thickness and 9mm on beaker bongs, MAV pieces are noticeably heavier and sturdier than most competitors. Their wide, thick bases provide excellent stability on flat surfaces. The baked-on logo won't scratch or peel off over time. While no glass is truly unbreakable, MAV's construction quality means their pieces are built to survive years of regular use.

What is the best MAV Glass piece for concentrates?

For concentrates, MAV's recyclers are the top choice — the Klein Recycler, Lido Recycler, and Trestle Color Combo Recycler all deliver the continuous water filtration and compact chamber size that produce the smoothest, most flavorful dab hits. Their dedicated dab rigs like the Beacon 2.0 and Birthday Cake Rig are also excellent options. For Puffco Proxy users, the MAV Glass Catalina Edition Proxy Rig is a premium glass attachment. Any of these can be paired with a quartz banger from our quartz bangers collection.

Does MAV Glass include a bowl and downstem?

Yes. MAV Glass bongs typically include a bowl piece and a removable diffused downstem. Their beaker bongs come with a standard 4.5-inch or 5-inch diffused downstem and a matching flower bowl. Recyclers and dab rigs may include a quartz banger or bowl depending on the specific piece. Ash catchers include their own built-in bowl piece. Their beaker kits bundle additional accessories like matching ash catchers. Always check the specific product listing for included accessories, and browse our collection for replacement bowls, downstems, and bangers if needed.
