Abstract
A modular water pipe and method of manufacture in one embodiment includes a reservoir with detachable chimney. The chimney may include a mouthpiece module and optional extension and/or percolation modules. Modules may be threaded together. The reservoir and chimney may be constructed of glass and may include metallic rings fixed thereto to allow threading or other selectively removable connection of the components. A down stem may be threaded to a bowl adapter assembly to allow use of a single down stem with bowls of varying size. The rings may be bonded to the glass components using an adhesive, or they may be press-fit thereto.
