Everything you need to know about the Stündenglass Kompact Gravity Infuser

Stündenglass is best known for its ingenious reinvention of the gravity bong as a minimalist shisha. The flagship’s 360 ° rotating double chambers, the non-contact mouthpiece and the slim housing, the restrained pass as a side table art. And with a collection of celebrity endorsements, the novelty of this device is clear, if not entirely accessible.

The original Stündenglass Gravity Infuser (also known as a kinetic water pipe, also known as a gravity bong) has tiny glass chambers at both ends of a metal axis. The Kompact Gravity Infuser is a scaled-down version of the same device designed for the everyday user.

Here you will find everything you need to know about the Stündenglass Kompact.

What is the Stündenglass Kompact Gravity Infuser?

The Stündenglass Kompact is a rotating glass shisha that generates super-rich, deeply opaque gravity bong hits through kinetic movement. The Kompact is essentially a slightly smaller, handier version of the original.

The Kompact has two balls made of borosilicate glass, which are screwed into an axis that is connected to a housing made of anodized aircraft aluminum. The mouthpiece is on one side of the axis and the receptacle for a bowl on the other. The globes rotate on axis to flush water from one chamber to the other, drawing from the bowl and simultaneously pushing smoke out of a 45 ° adjustable mouthpiece that the consumer can use directly or attach to a 3 foot long shisha hose .

The Stündenglass Kompact is more user-friendly than the original Gravity Infuser, comes fully assembled in its own super-slim, party-friendly travel case and maintains a manageable passage weight – even when water is added.

The Kompact is the most modern version of a gravity bong on the market that uses kinetic power to produce super-intoxicating hits for individual consumers or larger parties.

How does the Stündenglass Compact work?

The Kompact works very simply and requires very little setup straight out of the case. The water-filtering upper and lower part with glass chamber is already attached to the device axis, but you have to unscrew one of the two glass chambers and fill it with about a cup of water to make the device herb-ready.

Once the chamber is screwed back into its housing, you need to insert the male-to-male adapter into the charcoal tray and then insert this pack into the downstem adapter (the receptacle opposite the mouthpiece). A mill-sized metal bowl rests neatly on the taped silicone end of the male-to-male joint, and into that bowl you can drop a glass bowl insert specially made for dry herb use. The device owner’s manual includes an easy-to-see assembly infographic.

Once the assembly is complete, ignite your material while slowly rotating the chambers around their axis. As the chambers rotate, the device draws air from the bowl and expels smoke from the mouthpiece. When the chambers rest, the device stops pulling.

What’s included

Each Stündenglass Kompact Gravity Infuser package contains:

• High quality travel case with silicone handle and adjustable shoulder strap
• Aluminum bowl kit: charcoal tray, plug-to-plug adapter and metal bowls for hookah or herbs
• Glass bowl insert for ground herbs (fits in metal bowl)
• 3-foot silicone hose
• Replacement Upstem
• Cleaning set: microfiber cleaning cloth, alcohol swab, pipe cleaner bundle and three pipe scrubbers

How to clean the Stündenglass Kompact

What is particularly appealing about the Kompakt is that it is easy to dismantle and assemble for cleaning. In the product instructions it is recommended to rinse the balls and the Upstem exclusively in isopropyl alcohol or hot water and soap and to avoid harsh solvents or acidic cleaning agents.

After testing the Stündenglass Kompact, we cleaned it as recommended, but with a slight modification: We filled a ball with a mixture of isopropyl alcohol 2: 4 to water, reassembled the device and then passed the alcohol-water mixture through the chambers rotated until the glass was visibly flawless. Then we threw the alcohol down the drain, let the remaining solvent evaporate for a few minutes, and reassembled the device for dry storage.

What’s the attraction?

At US $ 600, the Stündenglass Kompact Gravity Infuser is just as big an investment as the classic Stündenglass, but unlike its predecessor, the Kompact is both legitimately suitable for parties and perfectly suited as a personal piece for an individual consumer. The Kompact is an already assembled, easy-to-use, travel-friendly, wildly grandiose and yet extremely simple device that can be securely shared, quickly cleaned and conveniently stored.

Bottom Line: If you have the budget for it, add this eye-catching internet famous Wiz Khalifa-approved gravity bong to your collection in the form of a science project with its own suitcase.

And if you don’t quite have the budget for it, Stündenglass offers discounts for key workers, seniors, the disabled, low-paid and unemployed buyers.
