GRAV 16mm Octo-Taster with Silicone Skin

The GRAV® 16mm Octo-Taster with Silicone Skin redefines durability and portability for flower enthusiasts who want a reliable, easy-to-clean tasters experience. This version builds on GRAV’s iconic Taster design by wrapping the glass in a bouncy, shock-absorbent silicone skin, so you can carry it with confidence and draw with less worry about dings or cracks.

Key features that matter in real use

• Silicone skin that’s as resilient as rubber: The skin provides a playful bounce and real protection against accidental drops, making this taster surprisingly rugged for everyday carry.
• Ash-catching mouthpiece: The pinched mouthpiece doubles as an ash catcher, helping keep your session cleaner and more convenient.
• End-cap bud retention: The end cap keeps your flower securely in place between draws, so you don’t spill during transit or on the move.
• Removable silicone for easy cleaning: The entire silicone skin lifts off for thorough cleaning, simplifying maintenance and keeping the glass pristine.
• Glass filtration screen: Instead of a simple opening, a glass screen provides an extra filtration layer, smoothing hits and reducing debris in your session.
• Pocketable and portable: With a compact 4" form and 16mm tubing, it travels discreetly and fits easily in a bag or pocket.
• Designed for flower: Specifically tailored for flower use, delivering a clean, efficient draw every time.
• Design pedigree: Created by Stephan Peirce, the Octo-Taster combines GRAV’s design philosophy with practical, user-focused details.
• Colorways and variants: Available in multiple color options (SLC.T3S.BK, SLC.T3S.BL, SLC.T3S.PK, SLC.T3S.PPL, SLC.T3S.TL) to suit your style.

Why this Octo-Taster solves real problems

Fragile glass on portable pieces is a constant concern. The GRAV Octo-Taster shields the glass behind a pliable silicone shell, reducing the risk of chips and cracks while offering a more confident grip. The removable skin makes routine cleaning quick and thorough, so you can keep flavor and draw quality at its best. The built-in ash-catching mouthpiece and the end cap for bud retention streamline sessions both at home and on the go, whether you’re rolling up at a friend’s house or taking a quick break during travel.

Who it’s ideal for

This taster is perfect for flower lovers who value durability, portability, and easy maintenance. If you ride public transit, travel frequently, or simply want a rugged, all-purpose taster that won’t ding in your bag, the GRAV 16mm Octo-Taster with Silicone Skin is a smart choice. It also appeals to collectors who appreciate thoughtful design touches, like the glass filtration screen and the retractable cleaning ease of the silicone sleeve.

How it compares to other tasters

Compared with metal-only or bare-glass tasters, this model adds a protective, grippable skin without sacrificing the classic GRAV draw quality. The silicone sleeve absorbs shocks, extends the life of the glass, and simplifies cleaning—features that matter for everyday use and travel. The glass filtration screen offers a refined draw that reduces debris without adding resistance, delivering a smoother experience than standard open-tunnel tasters.

Care, tips, and maintenance

• Remove the silicone skin for a thorough cleaning—wash with warm water and a mild cleaning agent, then dry completely before reassembling.
• During use, you can peel back the end cap to access the interior and wipe away any buildup as needed.
• Keep the glass screen clean to maintain optimal filtration and airflow.
• Avoid exposing the silicone skin to harsh solvents that could degrade the material over time.
