The HEMPER Alien Water Pipe is one of Hemper's most iconic novelty pieces, known for its vibrant green aesthetic and glow-in-the-dark features. Depending on where you are shopping, "1 Pack" usually refers to the single unit which includes the water pipe and the matching bowl.
There are two primary versions of this pipe: the Standard (Mini) and the Extra Large (XL). Here is the breakdown of what you can expect:
Core Features
Glow-in-the-Dark: The alien’s eyes are treated with phosphorescent material that glows after being exposed to light.
Joint Size: 14mm Female joint (comes with a 14mm Male herb bowl).
Aesthetics: Transparent green glass shaped like an extraterrestrial head (Standard) or a full bust (XL).

Pro-Tips for this Model
The Glow: For the best glow, "charge" the eyes under a bright LED light or direct sunlight for a few minutes before turning the lights off.
Stability: The Standard (6") model has a smaller base; ensure you place it on a flat surface, as novelty shapes can sometimes be top-heavy when a larger bowl or ash catcher is added.
Cleaning: Because of the unique head shape, resin can sometimes get trapped in the "cheeks." Using an isopropyl alcohol and salt solution (or a dedicated glass cleaner) is recommended to reach those angles.
