Today we can choose many types of bongs, with simple or complex shapes in the highest quality materials such as borosilicate, Pyrex, acrylic, silicone, etc., to give the customer the best possible experience.
Where was the Bong born and how does it work?
What is the bong story?
The first smoking utensils, very similar to the shapes of a bong, have been found in historical artifacts dating back to well before the Middle Ages . Initially the most acclaimed hypothesis was that the bong first appeared in Asian territories near India, Pakistan and Afghanistan, but, in the early twentieth century, similar objects were found in Africa, dating back to previous years, still containing cannabis residues.
Still considered a niche instrument, their definitive boom occurred following the American industrial revolution which boosted glass manufacturing.
How to use a bong? Let's learn how it is built first!
Before illustrating how to use a bong, it is necessary to know how most of them are made, since as we repeat there are an infinite number of types as well as methods for use.
The Bong is an object that allows you to smoke, through inhalation, different types of plant matter. Below we describe how they are generally constructed.
- Stem: Downterm or cannula is a tube positioned halfway down the bottom of the bong which has the function of passing the smoke into the water when the object is used. In the internal part, the tube must be immersed in the liquid by about 2-3 cm, while on the outside of the bong the stem ends with a brazier, removable or incorporated, where the ground herbs are placed.
BUY BONG PIPES
- Brazier: the most common ones have a hollow cone shape which also acts as a cap and does not allow air to escape. This container cap where the material to be heated is placed can be made of metal, glass or ceramic. The most common fire pit sizes are small 10mm, medium 14mm and large 19mm.
BUY BONG BOWL
- Clutch: or crab , it is a small hole located in the final part of the neck more or less at the height where the stem enters. This valve, which is plugged with a finger while the material is heating, allows smoke to form inside the chamber. Once the hole is freed, the smoke enters the lungs vigorously.
- Water or ice chamber: This chamber is generally filled with water. In the case of Ice Bongs they have grooves where ice cubes can be inserted. The ice manages not only to cool the smoke, but also to filter it, making the puff of smoke smooth and soft and which manages to enhance all the aromas of the herb. It is important to maintain the right distance between the ice and the mouthpiece because the smoke must have time to cool.
The advantages of using the weed bong
The most obvious advantage of using a bong is its ease of playing. It requires less preparation time and just seeing all the simple steps and even the most inexperienced user could get by on their own.
Another positive aspect of smoking with a bong is the fact that it manages to offer, through the water, a fresher, fuller-bodied smoke full of aromas . With the addition of ice you get an even cleaner and more pleasant high, but perhaps the most important thing is the greater healthiness without the accumulation of tar which affects both health but also flavor.
Step by step guide to bong usage
Bong how the correct use of this tool works. As we mentioned, using a water pipe correctly involves only a few simple steps, but the technique to be refined will come smoke after smoke . Below we will describe the accessories needed to smoke the bong pass us on

To fully understand the process we will try to simplify it step by step with images
- Grind the plant material or chop it up with scissors until it becomes perfectly smooth
BUY HERB GRINDER
- Preparing bong after grinding weed. Fill the bong with water: introduce the water from the mouthpiece to the top of the bong neck. The right quantity of water is that which allows the cannula to be immersed, being careful not to go beyond the clutch hole, as the water would leak out.
- Fill the brazier: introduce the chopped herbs into the brazier without pressing them too much or too little. The right amount of plant material is a personal matter, also taking into account the number of people who want to participate in the session.
- Hold the bong firmly with one hand and prepare the lighter with the other.
- Place your mouth on the mouthpiece and set the herbs on fire with a vigorous flame and, keeping the hole on the clutch closed, inhale vigorously.
- How to smoke bongin correctly. The smoke begins to spread abundantly, but is still contained in the ampoule. This is the time to uncork the clutch, remembering absolutely that you must have left at least half of your lung capacity to suck in all the vapor.
- Finally empty the chamber with a powerful inhale, holding the bong smoke for a couple of seconds and then exhale.
- Savor the experience.
BUY BONG CLEANING SOAP
Otherwise, to properly clean the bong, use hot water with baking soda. In a container large enough to hold the bong, place one or more tablespoons of baking soda in very hot water (not boiling because the glass could explode). Leave the glass objects to soak for about 20 minutes and then scrub with the appropriate brushes or pipe cleaners for bong cleaning . These elongated tools are designed to reach otherwise impossible angles.
If there is still some residue, use wipes soaked in alcohol as long as not the pink one, but the pure white one for food, try to act directly on the area.
Finally, always remember to rinse the bong several times.
