Bong

Bongs and water pipe are tools for smoking herbs or plant extracts , by which the inhaled smoke is cooler and more pleasant. These water pipes can be of various sizes and types of material, but the concept is always the same, that is to cool the smoke with water, making the inhalation aromatic, pleasant and fresh.

But what are bongs for smoking?

• Glass
• Borosilicate or pyrex
• Plexiglass
• Percolator bong
• Ice bongs

Cool and pleasant smoke bong thanks to the cooling of the water. Smoking with a bong is very different than with a joint, therefore the choice of the right tool must be carefully considered. Inhaling from a bong you inhale a considerable amount of smoke and active ingredients, for this reason you have to proceed step by step.

Browsing the category you can choose the tool that best suits your needs in various sizes and price ranges.

GLASS BONGS AND WATER PIPES

The glass bong is certainly the most common and used tool, but which bong is right for us? The purpose of these paragraphs is to help you understand the differences and choose wisely.

The bong made of glass is the most used probably because of the purity it renders in the smoke , but also for the ease of cleaning. Furthermore, the specific heat dissipation characteristics of the glass have the purpose of cooling and dissipating the heat produced.

The bong is generally composed of a smoke filling chamber where water is added, a more or less long cannula and a brazier. Along the body there is generally a hole called a clutch, which serves to modulate the aspiration of the smoke, even if in some models of bongs the clutch is used on the brazier.

BONGS IN BOROSILICATE OR PYREX GLASS :

These instruments may appear to be identical to glass ones, but they are not! The borosilicate Bong also called pyrex as well as being much more resistant to high temperatures has the ability to always come back perfectly clean.

In fact, borosilicate is nothing more than a special glass treated at high temperatures. Unlike borosilicate glass, glass has an invisible microporosity, in which the condensate of the smoke is deposited which in the long run tends to make the glass of the bong yellow. On the contrary, borosilicate is not microporous and if well cleaned it will always come back as new.

Another key factor of glass bongs is the thickness , as the thicker the glass, the more cooled the smoke is. We suggest a thickness of at least 4/5 mm (although some bongs go up to 9mm), both to reduce the risk of breakage and to have a good cooling

ICE BONGS AND PERCOLATORS

What is an Ice Bong? This tool is nothing more than a particular type of bong in which there is a slot to insert the ice. This expedient further and clearly cools the smoke which is fresher and tastier.

How to use an Ice Bong?

If you use an ice bong, the cold water will also filter out more dirt particles, which will result in a cleaner tool. The advantage of inhaling from an ice bong is that you have the possibility of making larger puffs than in a normal glass bong, fully enjoying your smoke in total relaxation

Ice bong with percolator

An ice bong percolator is an additional accessory tool with the aim of further cooling the smoke. A bong with percolator has a sort of real radiator inside which the smoke passes and is cooled. However, the percolator bong needs constant cleaning in order not to compromise its healthiness
