Space Theme Bongs, Rigs and Accessories

What's in the Space Theme Collection?

This collection covers every format a cosmic smoker could want. You'll find beaker water pipes like the 420 UFO Visitor Beaker Glass Water Pipe and the Aliens And Hemp Leaves Glow Glass Beaker Water Pipe for full, filtered rips. Compact dab rigs like the alien glow rig bring concentrate sessions into orbit. There are hand pipes, silicone dab straws for on-the-go sessions, and desktop accessories like the Alien Head Pipe Mug and Alien Holding Moon Ashtray. Stash solutions like the Fujima UFO Cow Ceramic Stash Jar round out the lineup so your whole setup stays on theme.

Key Features to Look For

Glow-in-the-Dark Glass

Several pieces in this collection are made with phosphorescent borosilicate glass that charges under light and glows in the dark — perfect for late-night sessions. Look for pieces labeled "glow" in the product name and check whether the glow effect covers the full piece or is accent-only.

Themed Sculpting & Percs

The best space bongs don't just have a sticker slapped on — they feature sculpted alien heads, UFO base chambers, planet-shaped percolators, and galaxy color pulls worked into the glass itself. Check product images closely to see whether the design is painted, fused, or lampworked into the piece.

Silicone vs. Glass

If you want the theme without the worry of breakage — at festivals, camping trips, or anywhere travel is involved — silicone options like the Space Shuttle Dab Straw are ideal. Silicone bongs and rigs are nearly indestructible and easy to clean. Glass pieces deliver cleaner flavor and are better suited for home use.

Joint Size & Compatibility

Most glass pieces in this collection use a 14mm female joint — a standard size compatible with a huge range of bowls, bangers, and downstems. Always confirm joint size before buying accessories to avoid mismatches.

How to Choose the Right Cosmic Piece

Start with how you smoke. Flower smokers should gravitate toward the beaker water pipes — the 10" size hits a sweet spot between tabletop stability and smooth pull. Concentrate users should look at the alien glow dab rig, which at 6.5" keeps vapor travel short for maximum flavor. Casual or mobile smokers will get the most mileage from the silicone dab straw or a compact hand pipe. If you're shopping for a gift or display piece, the Alien Head Pipe Mug and UFO Cow Ceramic Stash Jar make excellent shelf additions that also happen to be functional.

Budget matters too. Entry-level pieces start under $15, while premium sculpted glass rigs run $60–$95. Mid-range ($20–$50) gets you solid borosilicate builds with good theme execution — the sweet spot for most buyers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a space bong?

A space bong is a water pipe designed with outer space, sci-fi, or cosmic aesthetics — think alien figures, UFO shapes, galaxy color patterns, glow-in-the-dark glass, and planet motifs. They function exactly like standard water pipes; the difference is purely in the design and visual theme.

Are glow-in-the-dark bongs safe to use?

Yes. The glow effect in quality glass pieces is created using phosphorescent materials fused into or painted onto borosilicate glass — not applied inside the smoke path. As long as you're purchasing from a reputable source, the glow coating doesn't come into contact with smoke or vapor.

What size bong is best for beginners?

A 10" beaker like the UFO Visitor Beaker Water Pipe is a great starting point. It's tall enough to cool smoke effectively but short enough to control easily. Pair it with a standard 14mm bowl and you're set. Check our full bongs under $50 guide if budget is your primary concern.

Can I use these rigs for both flower and concentrates?

Some pieces are versatile with the right accessories. A 14mm female joint rig can take a concentrate banger for dabs or a dry herb bowl for flower. However, dedicated dab rigs like the Alien 420 Glow Rig are optimized for concentrate use — smaller chamber, minimal water volume — so flavor and efficiency are best when used as intended.

Do these ship quickly?

Yes — orders over $50 qualify for free shipping, and most in-stock pieces ship within 1–2 business days. All glass is packed with protective materials to survive the trip. Check individual product pages for current availability and estimated delivery windows.
