Usually percolators are used for dry herb only as it gets to the point of combustion and the extra filtration will eliminate some of the toxins leaving a cleaner hit. Concentrates do not reach the point of combustion so the extra filtration system is not necessary when using a dab rig. glass pipes also have different styles and shapes, there is the tube style, beaker style, round base, percolator, and many more. Most of these bongs perform the same way; the only upside to the beaker bong is that it has a larger base which means more stability.
The size and shape of individual perc may vary from each glass artist, but there are a few standard types of percs available. Fixed stem perc is the simplest one, and is made much like a standard downstemand is not removable from the pipe.
