Choose The Right Bong For You

Choose the right bong for yourself right here. Let’s start with the style or look of the bong that you would prefer. The main kind to pick from are straight tube, beaker base, and recycler. Straight tubes have dense smoke and clear quick. Beaker bongs have more volume and less dense smoke, harder to clear but bigger rips. Recyclers are mostly used for smoking concentrates, which recycles the water. As a beginner I would stick with either a straight tube or beaker bong.

Flower Or Concentrate?

Water tobacco pipes can be used for both dry herbs and legal concentrates.  What you choose to use in your pipe will affect the size, angle, and style of joint that you attach.  Dry herbs use a flower bowl joint that are usually attached to larger stems at typically a 45 or 90 degree angle.  Legal concentrates, however, use an attachment called a nail.  Nails are generally attached to smaller stems at a 90 degree angle to avoid dripping over.

The Percolation Conversation

Percolation chambers in larger water pipes can diffuse airflow to affect the heat and smoothness of a hit.  Percolation techniques vary wildly, but some common percs include inline percs,tree percs, and honeycomb percs.  In-line percs are simple straight tubes, whereas tree percs are tubes that branch off from one main chamber.  Honeycomb percs use a honeycomb-esque pattern of holes laid out like a net.  Diffusion methods are a personal preference, but can also affect the aesthetic quality of your pipe in the way that they can move and spin the water through the pipe’s tubes and chambers.

Clean Your Bong

So to own a glass bong you need to
– clean it atleast once a week, but not too much because that means your soo much more likely to break it.
-make sure your clumsy friends dont break it.
– hold on to it when you walk SO tight, the slightest drop and its gone.
be very carefull with bowls, downstems, percs, or ashcatchers because they’re usually thiner glass and break 10x faster.
-get a bong bag** lulu lemons bags for their yoga mats are okay! just sitting loose in your backpack wont do. ATLEAST have a box
