Just how multi-chamber bongs are similar to straight tube designs, round-based water bongs are shaped like a sphere, making them practically the same as a beaker. They offer the same level of stability and ease-of-use that you would expect from beaker-shaped bongs. Water pipes are every smoker’s best friend and are made with durable glass. They can produce pure and potent smoke from your products within minutes and make the entire process exceptionally easy.
Optional professional tips– We use a cleaning cap to keep the cleaning solution inside. If you don’t have one, you can use a small plastic bag and rubber band to seal the top of the bong and prevent spillage. It should come no more than a couple of centimeters above the down stem or percolator if that’s higher.
You can even add ice to some stemmed water pipes to further reduce the harshness of your smoke. 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.
These are cheap, as they can be printed or molded from materials easier to work with than glass. They are also much more durable, with some brands like No Label Silicone making pieces that, aside from the removable glass bowl, are pretty much indestructible. Other trends we’re paying close attention to are ergonomically designed, multifunctional, customizable pieces, as well as the newer automatic electric ignition types. There are even water pipes out there now with a built-in industrial laser used to light the bowl.
The cooler filtered smoke produced from a bong hit is much smoother and less likely to induce coughing. A glass bong gives a pure and unaltered smoke, which allows you to taste all of the deeper aromas produced. When buying bongs online you can expect prices to average around $60 for a standard water pipe. If you go silicone or acrylic the prices can be cheaper but if you get more features for your bong or get a more unique or advanced bong such as a recycler or honeycomb you can expect prices to go up.
