If you are looking for a glass bong, then you are looking in the right direction. Glass bongs have built up their reputation for reasons.

Glass bongs are integrated with different features and tricks that allow you to have different smoking experiences. Yes, there are also other bongs that are made of other materials that could give you a qualified hit, but nothing compared with glass bongs. Glass bongs could perform with percolators, ice catches, diffused downstems and some wicked glass creations which will be explained in detail in the following parts. 

Types of Bongs

• Beaker Bong

Beaker Bong is the most common type of all-glass bong. This base is shaped like a beaker, which is also the origin of the name.

It is known as the shape of the glass bong as the most steady one and the one that has the strongest stability because of the base. With the beaker as the base, it allows more add-ons to be decorated to the tube, such as more percs or a longer neck without worrying about it being uneven. 

• Recycler Bong

Recycler bongs are very similar to multi-chamber guns, and most people even think of them as different types of multi-chamber guns.

The difference between them is that the multi-chamber smoke bong does not technically pass the smoke through the same chamber, but transfers it directly to another chamber.

But the recycling bong actually absorbs the smoke and filters it with water multiple times through the same chamber and percolator, and then finally transfers it to you. All this happens very fast, 5-10 cycles can happen in just a few seconds. But when played in slow motion, it's really worth seeing.

• Small Bong

Small Bong is also highly recommended whereas the design of a bong keeps getting larger and larger for the hunt for novelty, small bong reminds of its classical rules in the bong collections.

• Straight Tube Bong

The straight tube bongs are quite simple and it can be understood as a bong with a straight neck. 

Generally, this type of bomb is thicker than most other types to make it more durable. Straight tube bongs are also usually taller, usually in the range of 8-24+ inches.

Normally, straight tubes come with percolators, diffusers and/or ice catchers, etc that allow you to enjoy a smoother hit. 

• Percolator Bong

As the name suggests, the difference between percolators is their percolators.

If you’d like to know more about what percolators are and how they work here, please refer to the percolators bong. But basically, they make your smoking experience smoother by cooling the smoke and filtering it more before it reaches you.

Percolators could make your glass bong so much cooler! The main feature of the percolators is to filter the smoke that comes through the bong before it reaches your lungs. It’s very necessary for baby lungs! Pick your right one here. 

How Does a Glass Bong Work?

Bongs come in various shapes and sizes. It could be very simple and basic with only one chamber or percolator and a tube, and there are so many more with different designs that you could choose from your preferences. It could be an art. 

However, they are all doing basically the same thing: filtering and cooling the smoke from burning marijuana.

Bongs usually have a small bowl for holding dried weeds. When you light the weed in the bowl, it will burn and create smoke that passes through the percolators and the tube of the bong. At the same time, when you inhale, the water at the bottom of the pipe will bubble. Before entering your mouth and lungs, the smoke will rise through the water and then ascend into the chamber.

When you’re comparing the smoke you take from a joint or a blunt, a bong is definitely giving you a better smoking experience. 

As expected, the water in the bong eliminates the dry heat you get from your joints. This effect is usually described as cool, creamy and smooth rather than rough.
