Bongs

Even though Bongs seem like a modern-day smoking accessory, it has existed since centuries. History tells us that smoking dry herbs using bongs started in the 16th Century and then travelled all the way to the modern world.

From there on, Bongs have become increasingly popular, with more and more people preferring the clean hit of smoke, rather than rolling papers or even vapes.

Bongs usually consist of a base, a stem, a bowl, and a mouthpiece. They use the water filtration process to deliver a smooth, clean smoke which does not contain any harmful by-products or unwanted flavours. This method of ingestion has several benefits. Let's look at them.

  1. Temperature: When your smoke passes through the water, it cools down, making it less severe and harsh than the puff of a conventional cigarette.
  2. Toxins: Lethal chemicals like tar and other by-products are filtered out by the water, giving a cleaner hit.
  3. Taste: The method of smoking a bong conserves the natural terpenes of the herb, giving the true taste, flavour, and feel of the substance rather than the stale smoky flavour.
  4. Usage: Rolling Paper demands the precision and skill of making the perfect roll while vapes require to refill and empty cartridges. Bongs are significantly easier to use as they do not have a tedious lighting process. Just pack, light, and hit!

The following features may make you feel like the bong is your perfect match. We have an ever-growing vast selection of bongs which have different materials, designs, make, and so much more. Know them all before you make a purchase.

Features

Each type of bong employs a different feature that filters the smoke using the water filtration method. 

  1. Percolators: These are additional chambers present in the main chamber or the tube which increases the cooling process of the smoke. It also allows additional filtration, making sure you smoke the cleanest substance.

Glass Bongs or Acrylic Bongs?

This is the most asked question when making a purchase. There are pros and cons to both the type of bongs.

Acrylic Bongs are made from plastic which makes them less environmentally friendly and light on the pockets. It is also porous which means it stains easily. There is always some residue which is left behind in acrylic bongs making them not so great over a long period of time. They are also difficult to clean & retain the smell. If you're a novice smoker, trying out bongs, we recommend you to start with these as they are not that big of an investment. If you're a clumsy smoker, we recommend you buy Acrylic Bongs.

On the other hand, Glass Bongs provide a cleaner, better, and true smoking experience. They might be an investment but work for quite a long time unless you knock them off.

Glass Bongs are also easy to clean and can be made as good as new with any Bong cleaner. They are a more permanent purchase so make sure you take your time to decide for them.

Bong Accessories

Even though Bong is a complete device in itself, it does not hurt to make the experience a little more personal and fun. You can start with purchasing screens which act as a filter for your bong. It keeps the ash from falling into the water and keeping the smoke clean and healthy. Apart from this, you can add features like an ash catcher or a bowl and downpipe for replacement. Bongs can be made new by changing a few accessories and cleaning them regularly. You can also keep them protected in a bong case.

Bong Care
