Sloppy Hippo round base zong water pipes are similar to the beaker style water pipes apart from the fact that the base is spherical. They function in much the same way. These are another very popular choice for water pipes. A round base zong literally looks like a piece of science lab equipment, which we think definitely adds to its geek appeal. 

The heavy bottom of this piece makes it great for daily use and the wide bottom adds stability. A wider base will generate lots of smoke.
