How To Buy Bongs and Water Pipes Easily

So you’ve dabbled with a bong or water pipe before and know how to use it, but you still need to figure out where to get one. We’d say head to the local head shop like any good stoner would, but the online transactions era is here, and these retailers are just a few clicks away. This guide will help show you which cheap glass bongs and pipes are best for your needs and where to buy them.

This one will require some explanation. A water pipe is just that. A tube with holes throughout where the smoke travels through the water to cool it down and make it smoother. On the other hand, the bong is just that, too, for the most part. But in everyday use, as well as in this article, if you see “bong” and you’re not sure what people are talking about, they’re probably referring to a glass water pipe. Water pipes are generally more expensive than bongs due to their hand-blown nature and the fact that they need some pretty specialized techniques while making them. Glass pipe smoking is a bit gentler on your lungs than using a bong. Still, either of these is a beautiful way to smoke your weed.

Bongs come in all shapes and sizes, but we’ll stick to the most common ones. The 2 most common types are straight tubes and beaker-bottomed bongs. A straight tube is a long cylindrical tube with an opening at one end. They’re generally easier to clean because it’s easy to get down into the water and clean out any stuffed-up bits. A beaker-bottomed bong is a little more challenging to clean, and you can generally only retract the tube into the bowl for when you want to smoke, but it does have those extra filtration funnels that help smooth out your hits. There are also tons of different types of pipes, and why use one over another is just up to personal preference on how easy they are to maintain and what kind of smoking experience you’re looking for.

Conclusion.

So there you have it. That’s what you need to know about bongs and water pipes in order to buy one for yourself. We’ve covered everything here, including the types of bongs and water pipes, how to choose the best one for yourself, and where to get them. Bongs are more affordable than water pipes because they’re cheaper to make in general. They’re also a lot easier to clean as they’re made of super thick glass, whereas water pipes are often smaller, typically hand was blown, and made of less resistant glass.
