What are Recycle Bongs (aka Recyclers)?

Recycle bongs, or recyclers, unfortunately are not bongs made from recycled materials, but are called recyclers based on their unique function.

As the vapor releases from the water, the water falls back down into the base to be “recycled” for the next hit. The process takes longer to explain than how it happens in real life. It cycles through fairly quick, so there’s no significant lag time. But we'll break it all down for you.
