Bongs are more than just a fun way to smoke; they also serve as beautiful ornamental pieces. While many small plastic varieties look like little more than just a pipe, high-end Glass and ceramic rigs are art.
Made from high-grade borosilicate glass, these pieces are durable and have a lifetime warranty. They feature percolators that offer powerful functions while creating water filtration and cooling for a smoother hit.
Reusable
Glass bongs are reusable and last for years when properly cared for. This makes them more environmentally friendly and cost-efficient than disposable paper wraps, blunts and joints. They also offer a more discreet smoking option if you have uptight roommates or nosey neighbors and can double as an impressive centerpiece in your home when not in use.
Glass bong pieces feature a chamber filled with water and ice to cool down the smoke before it travels into your lungs. This reduces the irritation and inflammation caused by too many hits and can help preserve terpenes in your cannabis.
Most high-end glass bongs are made from borosilicate glass. This is the same type of Glass designed and used for testing elements in laboratories, so it’s durable, long-lasting and surprisingly lightweight. Bongs include a layer of glycerin infused in their Glass that further cools down your hits and reduces the risk of lung irritation or damage.
Glass bongs are easy to clean with isopropyl alcohol, coarse salt, or a bottle brush. They should be cleaned daily to prevent the build-up of toxins and mold. We recommend changing the water and deep cleaning your bong once a week to ensure you get the best quality hits.
Eco-Friendly
As opposed to combustible wood and clay, which can result in competing flavors, glass pipes provide a pure smoking experience allowing you to enjoy the taste of your herbs truly. Glass is also easier to clean than other types of lines – a quick rinse with soap and water can leave your piece sparkling new.
Glass is made from non-porous borosilicate, which handles temperature changes very well and is super durable. This glass is much like the lasagna dishes you cook at home and is also what most glassblowers use for their bongs. Softer glass, such as acrylic, cannot withstand heat changes and can crack under pressure or with harsh cleaners.

Unlike spliffs and joints that are smoked directly from the paper, bongs use water to filter smoke before it reaches your lips and lungs. This is believed to prevent a harsh inhalation experience and cool down the smoke, allowing you to taste more of the flavors of your cannabis.
A bong’s design is typically made with a base that holds water, with a tube extending from the bottom called a downstem and breaching the water’s surface to allow smoke through the top opening. The smoke is then filtered by the water and sometimes by an added accessory called a percolator or disc.
Glass bongs are usually favored as they don’t leave a plastic aftertaste like silicone models. They are often crafted from hard, borosilicate glass, the same type of Glass used in science labs for its heat-resistant qualities. High-quality glass bongs are built to last with a sturdy glass body that is easy to clean and maintain.

Better for the Environment
Cigarette and e-cigarette waste poses a major threat to our planet’s fragile ecosystems. This waste can contaminate soil, water and air with heavy metals, residual nicotine and other toxic chemicals. Local laws and policies must be enacted to impose litter fines on smokers and encourage the proper disposal of these waste products.
Glass is 100% recyclable and can be used to produce new forms of packaging without relying on raw materials. However, only around 70% of drinks are collected for recycling, so more must be done to improve collection rates worldwide.
When used correctly, glass bongs and pipes are incredibly durable. Our scientific borosilicate models (used for testing elements) can withstand a lot of pressure and will last years.
To ensure that your glass bongs and pipes are safe to use, it’s a good idea to clean them deep at least once every week. Mix equal parts of rubbing alcohol and coarse salt, scrub away any stuck-on resin with a brush and then leave to soak in a solution of the same ingredients for an hour or so.
The resulting solution can be used to rinse the remaining residue from your bong, then fill it with fresh water and enjoy! Keeping your glass bongs clean is also great for the taste of your smoke.
