Help on bong selection

Howdy OGrs,
I have been smoking joints for almost 20 years now and I love it, but I might want to try a bong.

I am a advanced user of our friendly plant but I have no clue about how to ise or even choose a bong.

If anyone could start a 101 on important parts, best designs, and size because I won’t hit a 1m bong on my 1st try so I was thinking of something diacreet but functional.

Do you use water on your bongs? What otjer options?

Thank you all

For mass produced glass, I would say Mav Glass. They make traditional styles and shapes at affordable prices with moderate artistic flare.

I would recommend a glass on glass setup and recommend diffused downstems, they will give you a smoother smoke. You can also buy bowls with built in screens to prevent ash from sucking through. That’s about it. Here are links to everything mentioned. I use these personally as well.

Big bong and little bong example. I have this beaker I smoke on it all day at work. Love it, t they got all kings of styles though all kings of price points

I’ve spent a lot of money on glass in my years and if you want the best toke of your life I would buy a Joel Halen water pipe. Find him in Instagram, Facebook or ask at your local headshop. I would go with his production line for quality and value unless your trying to drop $$ on a one of a kind head peice.

I suggest an in-between step. How about a nice bubbler?

This is my current favorite. I wouldn’t go custom expensive glass for first bong. I’m anal about smoking and this is my every day piece. Impossible to clog and super easy to clean. And under $100. A 20% coupon popped up when you go to their website.

I’ve always had a zong. I like the grip, pretty much impossible to drop it

KISS. Gimmicky, complicated stuff is a HUGE pain in the butt to clean. I like a basic thick glass bong, maybe with an ice catcher in the stem. It’s sturdy and durable, easy to clean, and will last forever if you’re careful. You can also decorate it with stickers or whatever, if you’re feeling fancy lol

This is one that looks like it would be fairly sturdy, easy to clean, and easy to smoke.

I agree. I gotta say I do appreciate a percolator though. Not a pain to clean if you keep up on it and really does make for a smoother rip.

Stemless for the win : )

If it were me I would grab this guy or the same thing but beaker bottom. Only 70 bucks and it’s made in America, I really wanna grab one myself lol they only have the double perk for the beaker bottom which I don’t mind.

I have seen some examples of what I thought, the prices are a bit high, I was thinking of a 12’’ max and under 40€ or US$ but I buy in europe so…

Because I think I will only use the bong once a day I don’t want a fancy one gold plated, just a cheap but functional so I can try and if I like then I might get a bigger or better loking one or keep using this first one.

Now that you mentioned, it is better to be easy to clean.

I’ve had so many different bongs through out my lifetime and I have an expensive glass bongs but nowadays this homemade Sriracha but gives me the smoothest hit…
Make your own as long as you know the basic principles of how a bong works bromigo…you don’t need an expensive glass bong…

While you’re at it make yourself a power hitter since you’re also a joint smoker.
