Buying a Bong: Types, Sizes, Materials & Accessories
What Is a Bong?
A bong, also known as a water pipe, is a popular device for smoking herbs. It offers an alternative to the traditional joint and cools the smoke with water before you inhale it. This makes the smoke taste smoother than with a simple joint or pipe.
What should you look for when buying a bong?
When buying a bong, make sure to choose the right size and the correct diameter of the cut. An integrated kickhole or an additional pre-cooler helps make the experience even smoother.
There are different types of bongs to suit different needs.
Which one should you choose? A glass bong, an acrylic bong, or a silicone bong?
Glass bongs are the most popular because they offer an authentic smoking experience and are easy to clean.
If you want to use your bong on the go, it’s better to get a bong made of a different material, such as acrylic or silicone. These bongs are easier to transport and more resistant to damage.
Which bong is best for beginners?
Beginners should start with a medium-sized, affordable glass bong. Medium-sized because you have to get used to large amounts of smoke first. Starting with an affordable bong makes sense because beginners don’t yet know if the bong will become their preferred smoking device. Additionally, a glass bong usually has standard cuts, which allow for the addition of further accessories later on.
It’s also easier to clean.
What exactly are standard cuts?
The diameters of a bong’s openings and its accessories (chillum, bowl, ash catcher, etc.) are standardized. You need to pay attention to this to ensure the individual parts fit together.
There are four different standard threads:
· The most common are WT 14 (14.5 mm) and WT 19 (18.8 mm).
· Less common is WT 29 (29.2 mm).
· The significantly smaller WT 10 (10 mm) is the standard size for dabbing bongs and accessories.
When buying accessories, make sure to use the standard cut (abbreviation WT) that fits your bong.
What accessories do you need for a bong?
To catch herb residue and ash, you can use screens. You can use hanging sieves or bowl screens; they’re usually made of metal but are also available in glass.
Ash catchers and pre-coolers are also worth the investment. They are placed between the bong bowl and the chillum and provide additional cooling and filtration of the smoke.
In addition, a bong can be customized with different chillums and bowls.
