Things to Consider When Buying a Bong

Bong Material:

Within our range, you’ll find bongs and water pipes made with a range of different materials. Borosilicate glass is the most popular material used in the construction of bongs because it’s clean - glass bongs don’t contain or release any nasty or harmful chemicals. Glass bongs can also handle extreme temperatures allowing you to heat them without fear of damage - this is why bongs of all materials usually contain glass pieces, such as a glass bowl.

That being said, glass isn’t always the safest material if you’re looking for a portable smoking solution. Acrylic bongs and silicone bongs are a more durable option and can be great for use on the go, making them an ideal solution for more active and adventurous smokers.

Silicone bongs are made with BPA-free, heatproof silicone and are unbreakable, bendable and non-toxic making them ideal for travel. They’re dishwasher safe and come available in a crazy collection of colours and designs making them cool and convenient.

If you’re looking for a more unique bong, you may want to consider a ceramic or even bamboo bong. These classic styles of bong date back thousands of years, long before the prohibition of your favourite herbs and are durable and reliable. Bamboo and ceramic bongs are often simple, but highly effective with excellent performance and great lifespans with regular care and cleaning.

Bong Size:

You’ll need to take into consideration the size of your desired bong and how it’s going to fit into your lifestyle. Larger bongs and water pipes tend to be more expensive as well as being bulkier, making them better suited for use within the home. They also deliver bigger hits making them suitable for more experienced smokers who are used to higher concentrations.

Smaller bongs, or mini bongs are much more suitable if you’re looking for a subtle, portable device for versatile, on the go smoking. These bongs often produce smaller, less filtered hits.

Joint Size:

As well as the size of the bong itself, you’ll want to consider the size of the joint - this is the seal that connects your bong to its various accessories and pipes. Joints are measured in diameter and will only be compatible with accessories of the same size.

Standard joint sizes are 10mm, 14.5mm and 18.8mm and a larger joint size will generally offer bigger hits. If you’re in the market for the biggest rips, we provide bongs with a joint size of 29.2mm.

Bong Budget:

As with any purchase, you’ll want to consider how much you can spend on your new bong. Within our collection, you’ll find a wide range of bongs at varied prices with different features including percolators and a variety of smoking accessories. We also stock a number of high quality bongs at lower prices for budget-conscious smokers.

Bong Features:

There’s a bong for every situation and we stock all manner of variations to make things interesting and fun. Perhaps you want a bong with a bong with an ice pitch to hold ice and cool your smoke, or a recycler to recycle the water while you toke to provide further filtration.

Splash guards are a useful feature to prevent water splashing your lips as you inhale. Removable diffused downstems or percolators are a great way to create more bubbles, making a larger surface area to cool down your smoke. Explore the various features to make your bong work for you.

Beaker Base Bongs

Styled on classic scientific beakers, beaker bongs have wide bases and narrow water pipes. This design results in an extremely stable bong and the beaker shape allows a larger volume of water in the chamber, meaning a larger surface area of water, which in turn enhances filtration and cooling.

Straight Tube Bongs

These upright beauties not only look great but perform well and provide a smooth & easy smoke. Generally, straight tube bongs consist of a vertical pipe with a bowl and a downstem as well as a small flared rim for extra stability.

Honeycomb Bongs

Designed for enhanced filtration, the honeycomb refers to a sturdy glass disc within the tube of the bong. This disc is machined with holes that resemble a honeycomb pattern and allow the smoke to diffuse more effectively. The result is a smoother smoking experience.

Percolator Bongs

Perc bongs look incredible and would make an awesome centre-piece for any table, but their real beauty lies in their function. Percolators, or “percs” , feature lots of holes or tubes that provide enhanced filtration. When water, smoke & bubbles pass through the system, smoke is diffused with unbelievable effectiveness giving you super smooth and clean bong hits.

There are several popular percolator styles, including showerhead percs, inline percs, tree percs, disc percs, honeycomb percs, and matrix percs.

Ice Bongs

One huge advantage of using an ice bong is that you get a cooler, chilled smoke which is easier on the lungs and throat. These bongs feature notches that allow you to place ice cubes in the pipe, called an ice catcher or ice pinch, so the smoke will cool as it’s drawn through the tube offering you smooth hits and a more comfortable smoking experience.

Frequently asked questions about Bongs

FAQ

What is a bong?

A bong is a device that allows you to filter smoke from your favourite herbs, such as cannabis, through water filtration.

Bongs may also be referred to as

Water Pipes or Bubblers

and come available in a variety of shapes, sizes and styles. They have been used across the globe by herb connoisseurs for centuries as they provide a smoother, more enhanced smoking experience.

Within the Grasscity range, you’ll discover a vast collection of affordable, quality bongs & water pipes as well as more advanced, premium smoking devices to provide you with the ultimate smoke.

How do bongs work?

Bongs work by igniting herbs within the bowl and inhaling smoke through the mouthpiece, similar to how most hand pipes work. As the smoke is inhaled, it passes through the submerged removable diffused downstem and into the main base of the bong where it percolates through water. This process provides filtration and essentially cleans the smoke en route to your lungs.

If it’s your first time using a bong, be sure to check out our detailed blog on how to hit a bong. It will provide you with all of the info you need to enjoy smoking your bong as safely and efficiently as possible.

How durable are bongs & water pipes?

The strength of a bong lies in its material and construction. Traditional glass bongs and glass water pipes may seem fragile but, on the contrary, they are much stronger than you would think. The borosilicate glass used to make bongs is super robust, dense and shatter resistant and is made to withstand extreme temperatures.

Of course, glass has its limits and can crack or shatter when dropped from a height onto a hard surface and alternative materials are available. Each alternative material has its strengths and offers enhanced durability. Be sure to check out our range of silicone, acrylic and bamboo bongs if you’re in the market for an alternative option to glass.

How do you keep your bong clean?

Regular cleaning and maintenance is essential for your bong and caring for it will not only help extend its lifespan, but provide regular, consistent filtration.

We recommend that you regularly empty the water from the chamber and thoroughly clean the area with isopropyl alcohol or a bong clean solution. Another option for removing stains is mixing coarse sea salt with your isopropyl alcohol and allowing it to soak for a while before rinsing with fresh water. Some bongs also have ash catchers to prevent ash from dropping through into the bong water.

For the best bong and water pipe maintenance, check out our variety of bong cleaning accessories and experience continued clean smoke without the worry of bad smells and tastes or stains on your bong.

Are bongs equipped with a carb hole?

Many bongs come equipped with a carb hole, also known as a kick hole for extra control of your hits. The carb hole is usually located on the left side, or the rear of the bongs and is used to clear the smoke out of the chamber.

When you light your bong, you have to put your finger on the carb hole to create a vacuum. When the chamber is filled with smoke, you can take your finger off the carb hole and inhale all the built-up smoke.

How much water should you put in a bong?

This will really depend on the size and shape of your bong - there isn’t a set or standard amount of water to fill your bong. Generally, your bong should be filled in such a way that half an inch of the bottom section of the downstem is submerged in water allowing the water to effectively filter the smoke. Bongs that are overfilled can work less effectively.

You should also consider the temperature of the water being used in your bong. For instance, ice cold water can provide a cooler, smoother smoke. However, we recommend that beginners opt for lukewarm water to begin with and experiment with cooler and warmer water as you get used to hitting bongs.

Can I use my bong without water?

Water is the key constituent for filtering the smoke, therefore it’s not wise to smoke a dry bong. Without water, the smoke you inhale will be coarse and unfiltered and will feel harsh on your lungs and throat.

What is the difference between a bong & a water pipe?

Essentially bongs and water pipes are very similar devices for smoking. They both feature a water chamber for filtration and cooling your smoke. The main difference lies in their appearance.

With a bong, you inhale the smoke through the top of the bong tube. Water pipes, on the other hand, incorporate a straw or a pipe in their design that protrudes at an angle through the side of the device.

What is the difference between a bubbler & a bong?

The main difference is size. Bubblers tend to be smaller, use less water and provide less diffusion. To find out more about the differences, visit our bubbler vs bong blog.

What is the difference between a bong and a dab rig?

Dab rigs are designed for use with dab waxes and concentrate whereas bongs are designed for the purpose of burning dry herbs. Dab rigs also include a banger or quartz nail and vapor dome to vaporize your concentrated material, whereas bongs use combustion to ignite and burn your herbs in a glass bowl.

What is the difference between a male & a female bong?

Female bongs are the opposite of male bongs. If you have to place your herb bowl or another accessory into your bong joint or downstem, you have a female bong joint. If you have to slide your bowl or accessory onto the bong joint or downstem, you have a male bong. If you own a female bong, it’s important to buy male accessories that will insert into your bong's female joint or downstem.

How much does a bong cost?

At Grasscity, we stock a vast collection of bongs that range between $7-$600 dollars so you’ll be able to find the perfect bongs or water piper to suit your budget.

Our more affordable and cheap bongs tend to be smaller with fewer accessories and unique design features whereas our more expensive bongs fall on the larger side and have more premium features and expensive materials for an enhanced smoking experience.

Are bongs suitable for beginners?

Yes, bongs are relatively easy to handle and provide novice smokers with a super smooth and clean smoke. We recommend that people using bongs for the first time take it easy and don’t pack their bowl too heavily to avoid a hard hit.

Are bongs heat-resistant?

Bongs are designed to withstand extreme temperatures. The borosilicate glass used in their manufacture is the same material used in scientific lab equipment and will stand up to high temperatures and freezing temperatures. As well as glass bongs, our silicone bongs and alternative materials are also designed with heat resistance at their core.
