First, let’s figure out what kind of smoker you are. Regardless of what you see in the movies or social media, an 18” Beaker Bong may not be the best fit for a new smoker with sensitive lungs who smokes infrequently and has limited glass storage space. It’s best to start by asking yourself what features would most benefit your smoking needs and lifestyle:

Bong” is an often interchangeably used term to refer to all types of smoking pipes but in more connoisseur communities, we know “bong” to refer more specifically to larger, water pipe styles typically used when smoking bowls. Bongs come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and designs, but the best are made from borosilicate glass. Due to its high-temperature resistance and durability, it has the ideal workability for pipe making. While alternative bongs can be made from ceramic, silicone, acrylic plastic, etc, we prefer to work with the highest quality borosilicate available for optimal performance and the cleanest smoke.
When buying a bong, size, shape, and percolator, aka diffusers, are the primary features that will dictate how a bong will function. These elements can vary widely and be mix-and-matched in a multitude of combinations. And of course, a large part of your buying decision will also come down to personal preference, but for the best smoking experience, it’s critical to buy a bong that ideally fits your lifestyle.
Are you looking for a 6-foot party bong or a mini bong for dabs? Generally, bong sizes will range from small bongs up to 6 inches in height, medium bongs that are 8-16 inches tall, or large bongs that are 18 inches or bigger. Below, we break down the benefits of small, medium, and large bong sizes - which is best for you?
Glass bongs can come in a wide variety of shapes, from cartoon characters to more classic scientific shapes, so we want to highlight two of the most iconic bong styles. One of the most common bong designs is the beaker shaped bong. Beakers are a fantastic workhorse style with a cone-shaped water chamber that’s topped off with a straight mouthpiece. The wide base provides great stability so your bong doesn’t tip or fall over. The beaker bottom also holds more water for greater smoke filtration than compared to smaller chamber bongs, so your hits will surely be smooth. And because beaker bongs commonly have removable downstems with different percolator styles, you can easily customize your diffusion level and smoking experience.
Straight tubes are another classic bong style. Rather than a cone shape, straight bongs are one continuous size from the water chamber to the mouthpiece. This results in a direct stream of smoke once you light up and clears in an instant for a heavy-hitting, straightforward experience. Typically paired with a 90-degree joint, straight tubes give you easy visibility into your bowl or quartz banger nail, and work easily with additional accessories, like ash catchers, making this type of bong popular for more experienced users.
Another highly popular, more modern bong style is our Swiss Honeycomb. These medium-sized bongs have become a favorite for daily smoker enthusiasts due to the wide base, aka “foot”, moderate-sized water chamber, specialty percolator, and smaller bent mouthpiece. Like our sleek Bud Vase, these bong styles boast more stylized shapes with a focus on high function performance. Whatever your preference, there’s definitely a multitude of options available.
