Steam Chalice vs Hubbly Bubbly

๐Ÿ”ฅ Culture First mentioned: Ep. 083

A comparison between the Jamaican steam chalice (a smaller, concentrate-style vaporizer using steam to deliver cannabis hits) and the larger hubbly bubbly (a gallon-sized water pipe), with the steam chalice being analogous to how concentrate rigs became smaller than flower pieces.

The panel compares these two Jamaican-origin smoking devices. The hubbly bubbly holds about a gallon of air space, while the steam chalice is more like a half-liter to a liter โ€” analogous to how the concentrate community moved to smaller rigs. Bubbleman describes the steam chalice as a three-footer with a big bowl that delivers direct-inject style hits. Sam describes the hubbly bubbly as having a much larger chamber. Kingston's Dub Club and Dub Wise are cited as the best places to experience these.
