How To Use Various Types of Glass Bong

(With Best Glass Bongs Recommendation 2022)

 

Did you know that nearly 160 million people around the world smoke marijuana, and if you also use bongs to smoke, don’t worry, you are not alone.

smoking marijuana

 

A bong is commonly defined as a device, generally used for smoking cannabis, tobacco, or a myriad of other herbal substances. Some people said that the word “Bong” is said to have derived from a Thai word, “Baung” which means a cylindrical, wooden water pipe. Others say the word may have come from early water pipe discovery in Africa with the Bong’ om tribe. Historically, it is widely believed that marijuana was first brought to the United States by American soldiers stationed overseas in the 1960s. Since then, glassmakers have transformed the bong into a variety of shapes. With the passage of time and the innovation of craftsmanship, each bong has become like a delicate art.

different type of bongs

In this article, we’ll explain the details of different types of bongs and how to use them, at the end of this article we’ll include some of the most popular bongs on PuffingBird.com.

But first, we need to know “How A Bong Works”

Bongs usually work by cooling inhaled smoke through one or more chambers filled with water or ice. The more the smoke meets water, the cooler and smoother the smoke will be, and the better it will taste. While these devices vary in size, shape, and structural complexity, what they all have in common is a pleasant, refreshing smoking experience.

How Many Structures Does a Bong Consist of

It’s made up of several pieces.

consist of break bongs

  • Tube: the long, straight tube is essentially what defines a bong. These can vary in sizes from 8” on up.
  • Downstem: a tube that slides into the side of the bong and into the water. These may also be slotted at the base to create more bubbles.
  • Carb (Optional): a hole in the side of the base to create clean airflow and clear the tube
  • Bowl (Slide): placed at the opposite end of the downstems, this is where you place your raw flower
  • Percolator: a filter that creates bubbles in the water when smoke is drawn through the tube.

What Type of Bong Should I Get And What’s The Difference?

 We’re frequently asked these questions all the time. How do I choose the right bong for me? What features am I looking for?

Whatever you choose, you need to consider your actual needs before buying. Select between a bong for dry herbs and flowers, or for dabs and concentrates. There are a lot of factors to consider, but it is mostly up to preference. Every bong has different percolators or percs, which diffuse smoke differently. Most stoners search by looking at style and function, considering things such as:

  • Price
  • Size and Height
  • Material
  • Style
  • Percs
