GRAV Labs

GRAV's journey began in 2004 when Dave Daily, a mortgage processor turned entrepreneur, started crafting makeshift gravity bongs from wine bottles in Austin, Texas. Operating from a dingy warehouse complex filled with sculptors, ceramicists, and glass-blowers, Dave created the revolutionary Gravitron—the first all-glass gravity bong that would become the company's flagship product.Initially struggling to sustain sales with just the Gravitron, GRAV found its breakthrough with the simple glass Taster, originally designed as a trade show giveaway. This unassuming borosilicate tube with a pinched bowl became a surprise hit, allowing the company to expand its team and product lines.Over the years, GRAV evolved from a one-product startup to a global leader in scientific glassware. The company has developed iconic product families including Helix (featuring tornado-spinning smoke chambers), STAX (modular smoking systems), and Upline (advanced percolator designs). Today, GRAV operates over 600 retail accounts worldwide and offers more than 300 products, all designed, prototyped, and shipped from their Austin headquarters—maintaining their commitment to quality craftsmanship and innovative design.

GRAV operates as Austin's premier scientific glassware manufacturer, serving customers across the United States and internationally through over 600 retail accounts. The company specializes in precision-engineered smoking accessories crafted from high-quality borosilicate glass, known for its durability and heat resistance.Their comprehensive product portfolio spans multiple categories including water pipes, hand pipes, bubblers, dab rigs, and accessories. GRAV's signature product lines include the Helix collection (featuring innovative Venturi chambers that create spinning smoke patterns), the modular STAX system (allowing customizable smoking experiences), the Upline series (utilizing advanced percolation technology), and the original Gravitron gravity bongs.Every piece undergoes rigorous design, prototyping, and quality inspection processes at their Austin facility.
