What Are Bongs and How Do They Work

Bongs, also known as water pipes, use water filtration to cool and filter smoke before you inhale. When smoke passes through water, two things happen. First, water cools down the hot smoke, which can reduce throat irritation by dropping temperatures by up to 50°F. Second, water traps heavier particles and certain water-soluble compounds. 

A typical bong has these parts: the bowl piece (where you pack your dry herb), the downstem (which leads smoke into the water), the water chamber, the tube or neck where smoke rises, and the mouthpiece. When you spark the bowl and draw air from the mouthpiece, smoke travels through the water and cools down before hitting your lungs. This process has been around for centuries, with water pipes tracing back to ancient Africa and Asia. The modern glass bongs we see today gained popularity in the 1960s and 1970s as American glassblowing evolved.

Types of Bongs

Beaker Bongs

Beaker bongs have a wide, triangle-shaped base for added stability. Their roomy water chamber holds more water, enabling big, potent rips. The Higher Standards 14-inch Heavy Duty Beaker is a classic example, featuring thick borosilicate glass. Pro tip: fill the water about an inch above the bottom of the downstem for optimal filtration.

Straight Tube Bongs

Straight tubes are exactly what they sound like: a straight tube from base to mouthpiece. They deliver direct, powerful hits and are easy to clean. The UPC Straight Tube is a well-known version with minimal drag. If you like simple designs that are easy to maintain, straight tubes are for you.

Percolator Bongs

Percolators are features that diffuse smoke through multiple holes or slits, creating extra filtration for ultra-smooth hits. The Pulsar Triple Honeycomb Perc Bong is a prime example, reducing coughing while retaining good flavor. If you have sensitive lungs, percolators are an awesome choice.

Recycler Bongs

Recycler bongs keep water and smoke moving through multiple chambers, which prevents stale smoke and maintains fresh hits. The UPC Klein Recycler does this by sending water in a vortex for full-on filtration. It also helps preserve flavor longer, making it popular with terpene lovers.

Multi-Chamber Bongs

Multiple chambers, also called multi-chamber bongs, pass smoke through more than one water chamber. With each chamber, you get deeper filtration and cooler hits. For example, the Grav Labs Triple Stack is perfect for smokers with sensitive lungs. Just note that more chambers often mean a bit more cleaning.

Gravity Bongs

Gravity bongs harness water and air pressure to deliver huge, concentrated hits. The Stundenglass Gravity Bong is top-shelf here, featuring a rotating design that generates smoke without you needing to inhale. It is innovative, powerful, and a spotlight piece at any session.

Bong Materials

Glass

Glass, especially borosilicate, reigns supreme. It does not affect flavor, is heat resistant, and is easy to clean. The Higher Standards Heavy Duty Beaker exemplifies top-tier glasswork with thick walls for durability. Glass delivers pure flavor and remains the gold standard, although it can break if handled carelessly.

Silicone

Silicone bongs never shatter, are dishwasher safe, and often fold for easy travel. The Eyce Silicone Beaker pairs a silicone body with a glass bowl for solid flavor. Medical-grade silicone imparts minimal taste after a few cleaning cycles. Look for platinum-cured, FDA-approved silicone to ensure safety.

Ceramic

Ceramic bongs have an artsy, substantial feel. They hold heat well, look unique, and offer nearly pure flavor. Summerland Ceramics Fruit Fantasy is an example, featuring handcrafted design and food-safe glazes. Ceramic can be heavier than glass, but it brings an earthy aesthetic and has been around for centuries.

Acrylic

Acrylic bongs are popular for their durability and low price. They are budget-friendly and good for traveling. However, acrylic can compromise flavor. The Headway Acrylic Water Pipe is a go-to for beginners who want something that can handle a few bumps. Just keep in mind that acrylic may scratch and affect taste more quickly over time.

How to Choose the Best Bong

Consider where you will use it. If you mostly smoke at home, a larger beaker or multi-chamber bong can be ideal. If you travel or hang outside, silicone or acrylic might better fit your lifestyle. Reflect on how important smoothness is. If you have sensitive lungs, look for percolators or a recycler. For bigger, show-stopping hits, go for gravity bongs.

Bong Cleaning Tips

Always clean your bong regularly to preserve flavor and longevity. Rinse it with hot water after each session to reduce buildup. For deep cleaning, combine isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt and shake gently to remove residues. Acrylic and silicone can be dishwashed, although glass should be handled more carefully. Empty the water after use to keep things fresh.
