{"product_id":"hemper-kraken-xl-bong","title":"Hemper Kraken XL Bong","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hemper Kraken XL Bong wraps a kraken around the body of the piece — tentacles worked into the glass, curling up and around the chamber toward the neck. It was Hemper's May 2024 theme and it's one of the most detailed shapes in their XL range: there's a lot of glasswork on the outside of what is, underneath, a solid, well-proportioned pipe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMay 2024 was a single limited batch. Hemper don't reissue themes, so the count of these in existence is fixed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow it performs\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tentacles add mass low on the body, which actually helps stability. Standard bowl and downstem. The chamber is a conventional shape beneath the sculpture, so the draw is smooth and there's nothing internal to trap residue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHemper's XL pieces are a significant step up from the regular releases — taller, wider in the chamber and noticeably heavier. This is a centrepiece rather than a bedside piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to check the provenance, the SKU does it for you — \u003cstrong\u003eJWP0524\u003c\/strong\u003e encodes May 2024, the month the design was issued.
