I just realized I have no idea where the difference lies between the two. Sometimes I can't tell if a piece is a mini bong or a bubbler. It's easy to tell in most cases but some pieces are strange.
Do bubblers have detachable bowls or is that just found in bongs?
What other distinctions are there between the two?

Honestly I don't think it matters to much.

Too me this is a bubbler

And this is a bong

Either way I am getting stoned.

The slide and pull of a bong makes it uniquely bong. Bubblers are cool too though I've owned a couple myself.

a bubbler is essentially a bong, but a bubbler generally has a toke-hole, instead of the slide being pull-outable like in a bong.

You will never see a bubbler with a detachable bowl, and only sometime will you see and bong with a bowl that does not detach.
Fix bowl = probably a bubbler
Detachable bowl = definitely a bong
The main difference is that there is always a downstem on a bong where there is never one on a bubbler.

That's false, lots of bubblers have removable bowls

Bubbler is a mini bong of sorts. Most are blown glass and will easily fit in one hand unless you're paying many dollars for something heady. What makes a bubbler a bubbler in my opinion is that it looks like a spoon with a chamber for liquid. Regardless of size, it's that hand blown glass bubblers I like the best. I like them with longer stems like those Gandalf pipes we see everywhere.

Even though I don't normally go with a ceramic piece I had a ceramic bubbler that was a frog standing on a mushroom with the mushroom being the stem and the frogs back was the bowl. It wasn't a bong because of the size of water chamber which was about the size of a golf ball. So I think the way the water is enclosed and used in a smaller amount is a defining characteristic.

Man I'm pretty fucking high and it actually took me a long time to get it right in my head lol!!!
