Benefits of Zong Bong

Apart from the visual impact of this distinctive and appealing shape, Zong Bongs are functionally indistinguishable from other bongs; however, the zigzag neck design of the zong bong offers performance advantages:

The curved neck lengthens the distance the smoke travels through before entering to your lungs, which maximizes cooling and reduces harshness; and the extra space allows for more smoke to be stored.

Second, connoisseurs love Zong bongs because their unique shape offers some extra benefits, such as preventing water from splashing on your lips and effectively blocking the bong's water splash and overflow.

Some bongs are equipped with a common 3-pinch ice catcher inside the bong neck, which is used to hold the ice cubes, while the zong's z-shaped neck allows the ice cubes to stay, cooling, and smoothing the smoke.

Zong Bong FAQs

How to choose a Zong Bong?

After introducing the benefits, maybe you are so ready to buy a zong bong, but wait! The first thing you should consider before adding a new zong bong to your collection is whether zong bong is the smoking device that suits you. We all know that zong bong is a type of very high-quality water pipe, but they are not suitable for everyone. To help you decide, consider the following points.

Not travel friendly

Heavier:

Zong bongs are not a travel-friendly bong, even though when compared to other types of bongs, you can clearly feel the durability and excellent texture of them because they are made of heavy-duty glass material, but this High-density material often means that the weight is so much heavier and not portable;

The special shape and bigger size: 

And the special shape and extended bong neck make it bulkier, so they take up more space and are not suitable for mobile and travel, if you are always on the go or prefer smaller bongs that are portable and lightweight, zong bongs may not be your best travel companion; it is more suitable for experiencing a perfect hit at home.

Not easy to clean

We all know that the zong bongs' benefits come from the smoke storage and cushioning provided by their twist and turn neck, but this twisty design makes it more troublesome to clean, especially some zong bongs with more complex and novel designs, sometimes you are very difficult to clean some specific corners, it may take you more time to maintain and keep clean, but of course, it is all worth it for the perfect experience.

Not newbie-friendly

Finally, it needs to be emphasized that zong is not suitable for beginners. Their immense power makes them prohibitive. Larger smoke storage capacity, denser hits, and stronger effects are a challenge for beginners who are just starting out with water pipes. 

How to care for your Zong Bong?

Because the specially shaped bong neck is more likely to accumulate resin and make it smell a little, you may need to clean it more frequently if you are a zong bong user. Cleaning a zong is similar to cleaning other bongs in that you need a large particle of petrel, rubbing alcohol, and a soft metal handle cleaning brush. The difficulty of cleaning a zong is nothing more than its curved bong neck, so for the same cleaning process, you need a longer soaking time, rinse with kosher salt for longer, and let the kosher salt stay in the bend as much as possible; a soft metal handle cleaning brush works well at this time because soft metal is very bendable; you can twist the handle of the brush to clean some hard-to-reach corners.

Closing Thoughts

Keep in mind that bongs are not for inexperienced or fearful stoners because they are quite powerful. If you choose zong bong, be prepared for a strong effect. You will also need to put in extra effort to care for your zong, but we believe you will be impressed by its flawless performance.
