🔮 What Are Glass Bongs?
Glass bongs are water-filtered smoking devices used to enjoy dry herbs or concentrates. Known for their smooth hits and artistic designs, they’ve become a staple in both casual and connoisseur smoking circles. The glass construction offers purity, durability, and visual appeal—making each session feel elevated.
🧩 Anatomy of a Glass Bong
Understanding the parts of a bong helps users choose the right setup and maintain it properly:
- Mouthpiece: The top opening where you inhale. Shape and size affect airflow and comfort.
- Neck or Tube: The long chamber that connects the mouthpiece to the base. Can be straight or curved.
- Base: The bottom chamber that holds water. Common shapes include beaker, bubble, and straight tube.
- Downstem: A small tube that connects the bowl to the water chamber, allowing smoke to travel and cool.
- Bowl: Where you place your dry herb. Removable for easy cleaning and clearing the chamber.
- Percolator (Perc): An added filtration feature that diffuses smoke for smoother hits. Found in more advanced bongs.
- Ice Catcher: Holds ice cubes in the neck to cool smoke even further—great for smoother inhales.
