How do some percs work?

  1. I was wondering how a UFO/circ perc works, and also how showerhead percs work, can you help?
    Images greatly appreciated, I am clueless about showerhead percs after spending too long trying to find out how they work.
     
  2. all percs work about the same as any other perc haha, its just air (or smoke) being pulled through a hole or holes under water, causing the air/smoke to get trapped inside the bubbles that the process creates. the smaller the holes, the smaller the bubbles. Kinda just common sense if you took a high school physics class man
     
  3. I understand that much, but I don't think I understand some of the DESIGNS. Like a shower head perc - as I understand it, the THC goes downwards into a circular object with holes in the bottom, and water inside, and your lungs pull the THC through these holes in the bottom, displacing the water - is this correct, or did I misunderstand the design?
     

  4. yes, some percs are "reversed" like that where the smoke is pulled into the perc rather than pulled out of it. the process and what it accomplishes are still exactly the same
     
  5. Thank you, I wanted to check in case I had just completely misunderstood. I know how others work, like the tree and dome, but I wasn't sure about the showerhead/UFO design.
     
  6. A circ/UFO are just a dome perc with more slits and a more balanced shape.

    Showercaps or heads like the SYN's are what they call implosion percs since the smoke goes from outside the perc to the inside.
