Top pick: Puffco Cupsy

The Puffco Cupsy is a water pipe shaped like a travel cup. The body is silicone. The bowl is ceramic. Water sits in a chamber below the bowl. Puffco lists the Cupsy at $60. A lid covers the mouthpiece when the pipe is not in use. That shape and lid matter in a bag or a cup holder. Water can still leak if the pipe tips over, so store it upright.

Travel and legal notes

Cannabis laws differ by state. A bubbler with resin can count as drug paraphernalia in states where cannabis is illegal. TSA states that officers do not search for cannabis, but if they find it, they refer the matter to local law enforcement. Check the laws for every state on your route before you pack.
