researched Aug 2026HEMPER operates a direct-to-consumer online smoke shop offering smoking and related accessories, including bongs and glass water pipes, hand pipes, dab rigs, herb grinders, rolling papers, rolling and filter tips, pre-rolled cones and rolls in hemp, herbal and paper formats, vaporizers, hemp wraps and general smoking accessories. The catalog includes HEMPER-branded glass as well as attachments designed for the Puffco Peak device, and a discounted "HEMPER Outlet" section for clearance glass and gear.
Alongside a la carte retail, the company runs a monthly subscription program. The HEMPER Box, priced at $39.99 per month, ships a newly themed glass bong each month together with an assortment of smoking accessories; the HEMPER XL Box, at $99.99 per month, includes a larger themed bong plus additional glass, combustibles and extras. Monthly drops are organized around themed collections and limited-edition "families" of glass, examples of which include Wish Ball, Camp Out, Scare Bears, Happy Camper, Ghost, Chinese Takeout, Lucky Cat, UFO, Ramen, Dia de los Muertos, Zen Bonsai, Gaming Flower, Balloon Dog and Alley Cats. Past theme boxes and theme bongs are also sold individually through a catalog of theme families.

Revenue comes from one-time product sales of glass, rolling supplies and accessories and from recurring monthly subscription fees of $39.99 (HEMPER Box) and $99.99 (HEMPER XL Box).
