What is A Glass Bong?

A bong is a smoking accessory that is used for smoking tobacco or other herbal substances with a chamber at the bottom to fill up with water. Water pipes are made from materials such as acrylic, ceramics, woods, and glass that are impermeable to both air and water. However, the most used type of bongs are those made from glass. They are super easy to clean, last longer, give you that pure flavor of your herbs.. Glass is non-porous which makes it a perfect material.

A typical glass bong is usually made from heat resistant borosilicate glass. The glass bong filters the smoke by passing it through ice or water. The more the smoke comes in contact with the water or ice, the colder it becomes. Not only does the water filter toxins from the smoke but it also helps cool down your smoke. The cooler your smoke is the less irritation to your throat and lungs.

Benefits

Durability

Glass bongs are strong and durable. You can use them over and over again without them wearing out. While they tend to last longer than other types of bongs, don’t ever let your glass piece drop from your hand.

No Irritation

Since glass cools down the temperature of the smoke, it removes the irritation in the throat caused by the hot smoke.

Easy to Clean

These are easy to clean and maintain. With the right pipe cleaner formula, you’re sure of a clean glass bong.

Quality of Taste

Glass bongs don’t affect the flavor of your materials unlike wood and metals water pipes. They have a distinct way of changing the original quality of the smoke.

No Bad Smell

The accumulation of bacteria causes foul odors. Since glass is non-porous and doesn’t support the growth of bacteria as much as other materials.

How To Choose A Water Pipe

Glass Thickness

How long your glass would last depends on its thickness, so it is very important to get bong with thicker glass.

However, if it will be indoor without any threat from friends or your kids, then you don’t have to worry much about the thickness. A glass 5-7mm is really thick and a tough one to break, while a 2-3mm is the thinnest. On average, you could get a glass around 3-5mm

Size

Glass bongs come in different sizes; while some are small others are big. If you need one that you can use both indoors and outdoors, then buying a smaller piece that can fit into your bag would be ideal. If you need one that will just be inside your house or one that you can share with friends, then go for the bigger one.

Diffusion Method

The percolation techniques of glass bongs vary. While there is no one perfect percolators since every user has a favorite one, it’s important to go for a percolator that is more soothing to achieve a better hit more efficiently.

Types Of Bongs

Straight Tube

These are the simplest bong designs. A tube has a mouthpiece at one end, and a bowl at the bottom. The longer the downstem, the smoother and more soothing the smoke is, because of the longer travel distance.

Beaker Bongs

The straight tube and beaker styles are similarly shaped but with different designs at the bottom. The bottom of a beaker pipe is flared into a cone shape that looks like a beaker. The smoking process and experience is almost the same as the straight tube.

Bubbler

It is also called percolator bong and has no specific structure. It can be either straight-tube, beaker-shaped, or round-base. The distinctive feature of the bubbler is its percolator. The bubbler is a piece of glass that disperses the smoke before it passes through the water. This causes a bubbling effect in the bubbler, making the smoke cooler.

Dab Rig

A dab rig is a water pipe that is used specifically for concentrates. You need to use a butane torch to heat up the nail or banger then simply dab your wax on. The process is definitely longer and a bit more complex than any other pipe. 

Things To Consider When Purchasing A Bong

If you’re buying a glass bong, especially as a newbie for the first time then you should consider these things.

It Can Break

When committing yourself to a glass bong, you’re automatically accepting that you understand that it can break if mishandled. You must learn how to handle glass accessories the right way before thinking of getting a glass bong.

Portability Is Diminished

Since glass bongs are made of glass, you can’t really take it with you everywhere you go like a vape pen. Any form of carelessness could render your bong useless, and you may have to get a new one. So always think twice before taking a glass pipe with you.

Features

It’s always best to buy bongs that are not too simple and not too complicated. When you get one that comes with complicated features, it becomes a pain in the neck, and you could even damage it in the process. However, you don’t want a bong that looks simple and dull. Ensure that the bong you’re buying is easy to use with a nice design.
