Bongs

Bongs, also known as water pipes, have gained a massive amount of popularity among smokers. One of the most important benefits of a bong is the filtration of unwanted compounds and substances from cannabis. These bongs offer smokers a cleaner & smoother alternative to smoke cannabis compared to rolling papers and blunt wraps. Sky High Smoke Shop offers a ton of options when it comes to choosing a bong. You will come across many different bongs which consist of unique colors, sizes, percolators, and attachments. We critically analyze our bongs to ensure all of our customer's needs will be met.

How to choose the best bong for smoking cannabis

If you’re interested in buying a bong, you’ve probably already realized that there are seemingly endless options available. With so many styles, sizes, materials, and percolators to choose from, it can be difficult to know where to start. When buying a new bong for your collection, consider the following factors for guaranteed satisfaction.

Bong sizes matter, pick a water pipe that will meet your needs!

Bongs come in all types of different shapes and sizes which is why you should consider how your new water pipe will fit into your lifestyle before making a purchase. If you’re looking for something that’s discreet, easy to transport, and store, then a mini bong is likely your best bet. Don't let the size of the water pipes fool you, these mini bongs oftentimes provide great hits, flavor, and filtration. Unlike larger water pipes, mini bongs are very easy to clean and maintain.

If you’re looking for something that can provide you with massive rips and the highest level of filtration, then a larger water pipe will be the way to go. Remember, water bongs that are larger in size offer are great for home use, but they can be inconvenient to transport while on the go.

Bongs and their percolators

In order to achieve smooth and flavorful bong hits from your bong you're going to need filtration. This is where percolators come into play; the more you have in your water pipe, the better! Percolators increase diffusion and help to remove unwanted toxins and other materials from your bud that can potentially be harmful upon inhalation. Percolators not only allow for a smoother smoking experience but also cool the smoke before you draw it into your lungs. In addition to providing better cooling and filtration for the smoke you inhale, percolators are visually satisfying no matter which one you have in your water pipe.

There are many different types of percs found in water pipes and here is a small list of some of the popular ones:

  • Showerhead Percolators
  • UFO Percolators
  • Honeycomb Percolators
  • Donut Percolators
  • Swiss Percolators

Bong Materials: Which water pipe should you choose for the best smoking experience?

Bongs come in a variety of materials such as glass, silicone, ceramic, and acrylic. Each material has its own unique pros and cons which we explain below. When it comes to picking the right material type for your bong, we advise you to reflect on what matters most in terms of your lifestyle and needs.


Bongs made from glass:

Glass bongs are one of the most popular types of water pipes and for good reason. The pros of glass bongs include their durability, high-temperature resistance, and ease of cleaning. Glass is non-porous, so it won't absorb any odors or flavors that will modify the taste of your cannabis. On the other hand, glass bongs can be expensive compared to other materials and they are more prone to breaking if not handled properly.

Bongs made from silicone:

Silicone bongs are quickly becoming the go-to material for many smokers due to their versatility and durability. A bong composed of silicone is practically indestructible, making them perfect for smokers who are always on the go. Additionally, silicone bongs are made using non-toxic medical-grade silicone. This type of silicone offers high levels of heat resistance and doesn't contain any harmful chemicals which ensures a pleasant and flavorful smoke session. Although silicone bongs are more durable and lightweight than glass, these materials require a bit more effort to clean compared to their glass counterparts because they aren't transparent.

Bongs made from ceramic:

Ceramic bongs have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their elegant design and unique look. Ceramic is extremely durable, making it perfect for those clumsy smokers who are prone to dropping things. Additionally, ceramic bongs offer a more flavorful smoking experience than other materials due to their ability to retain heat better than glass or silicone. On the downside, ceramic bongs can be heavy and difficult to clean due to their porous nature.

Bongs made of acrylic or plastic:

If you're a smoker on the lookout for something affordable and long-lasting, acrylic bongs are your go-to! These lightweight water pipes offer convenience and portability. The only downside to acrylic bongs is their inability to retain heat, so don't expect an overly cooling smoking experience from them!

Bongs made from bamboo:

Bongs made from bamboo are a unique and eco-friendly alternative to traditional glass or ceramic bongs. Bamboo is a natural and sustainable resource, making these bongs a more environmentally-conscious choice. Bamboo bongs are often hand-crafted, giving each one a unique and artisanal feel. They can range in size and design, from small and simple to large and ornate. In addition to being visually appealing, bamboo bongs are also known for their durability and ability to provide smooth hits. Some people even claim that bamboo imparts a unique flavor to the smoke. Overall, bamboo bongs are a great choice for those looking for a natural and durable smoking option.

Different types of bongs and water pipes

Beaker Bongs

Beaker bongs:

If you're searching for the perfect water pipe, look no further than the iconic beaker bongs! These distinctively shaped pipes bear a strong resemblance to scientific beakers and are a favorite among smokers. Beaker bongs are primarily composed of two parts: the base and the neck. Beaker bongs are one of the most popular types of glass water pipes because they offer a large chamber and a stable base which are great for home use.

Recycler Bongs

Recycler Bongs:

Recycler Bongs are a type of water pipe that is quickly gaining in popularity. They got their name from their unique ability to "recycle" smoke and water. This is done by passing the smoke and water through the bong multiple times before it is finally inhaled. The result is a cooler, more flavorful smoking experience. Recycler bongs are composed of two or more chambers which allow for this recycling process to take place.

Straight Tube Bongs

Straight Tube Bongs:

If you're looking for a tried and true water pipe, straight tube bongs are definitely a smoking accessory to consider. This type of water pipe is straightforward in design yet packs excellent performance. They are named for their straight design, which consists of a tube and a mouthpiece. The overall function of straight tubes is quite simple, the smoke passes through the water in the chamber and is then drawn through the tube and into your lungs. Straight-tube bongs are easy to use and clean, making them a popular choice for beginner smokers.

Parts of a bong explained:

The mouthpiece of your bong explained in detail.

The mouthpiece is the part of the bong that you put your mouth on in order to inhale the smoke produced by the water pipe. There are a few different types of mouthpieces but the most popular one is often referred to as a "flared mouthpiece". Flared mouthpieces can be identified when the glass curves outwards in order to provide a more comfortable experience when taking a rip from your gravity bong.

Ice catchers and their purpose in bongs. Do they really offer a better smoking experience?

Have you ever seen notches inside the neck of a bong? They are known as "ice catchers". To achieve cooler and more pleasurable hits, smokers often drop several ice cubes on top of the ice catcher. This quick and easy action makes a huge difference in providing users with cooler and smoother draws from their bongs! Ice catchers, also known as splash guards, are essential for smoking from a bong because they are also intended to prevent the water from splashing up and into your mouth while taking a hit.

Bongs and their Bowl. This is where your smoking session starts!

The bowl is the part of a bong where you pack your dry herbs before starting your smoke session. Although all bowls commonly share the same purpose they can vary in shape, size, and even style. If you ever end up needing a replacement bowl for your water pipe, it is important to pay attention to the size of your bowl. Common sizes often include 10MM, 14MM, & 18MM.

The joint found in bongs. What are they and why do bong joints come in different sizes?

The joint of a bong is the connecting piece between the bowl and the main part of the bong, where the smoke will pass through. It is usually made of glass, but can also be made of silicone or acrylic depending on the material of your water pipe. The joint size can also vary depending on the type of bong and its parts, but common sizes often include 10mm, 14mm, and 18mm in diameter. Generally, larger joints allow for smoother draws with less effort due to increased airflow. Joints found in waterpipes will either be male or female. It is important to know the gender of the joint that your water pipe has to ensure compatibility with accessories such as bowls or ashcatchers. 

The downstem. Details about the important role it plays in bongs and water pipes.

A downstem is a small, glass tube that extends from the bowl of a bong and sits in the water of the base. Its purpose is to diffuse the smoke as it travels from the bowl to the chamber of the bong. This makes for a smoother hit and prevents harshness when smoking.

Bongs and their diffusers. Why are they a crucial component of a water pipe?

A diffuser is an invaluable asset to a bong, as it breaks up the smoke into small minuscule particles. Not only does this make for smoother inhalation, but also cooler and less irritating on your lungs due to the larger particles having been filtered out. Most water pipes sold on our online headshop include a diffused downstem. 

Importance of the water chamber found in bongs and water pipes.

The water chamber found in bongs have several important functions. One of the main purposes of the water chamber is to efficiently filter and cool the smoke as it passes through the bong or water pipe. When the smoke travels through the water, it cools down and becomes less harsh, making it easier to inhale.

Bong FAQ

Here as some frequently asked questions about bongs

How Much Do Bongs Cost?

Bongs can range in price depending on the size, complexity, brand, and materials used during the manufacturing process. However, there are a number of great options available for those on a budget. Whether you're interested in a simple beaker bong or something extraordinary like a percolator bong, Sky High Smoke Shop has the right water pipe for your needs!

How does a water bong work?

The basic structure of a bong consists of a bowl, downstem, percolator, and base. When the user lights the bowl containing their preferred product, smoke is produced which is then drawn down the stem and into the water-filled percolator chamber at the bottom of the water pipe. This acts as both a filter for any extra debris that may be present in your bong and also cools down the smoke before it is inhaled. The cooling effect helps to reduce harshness on the throat when inhaling allowing for easier, smoother puffs without skimping on flavor.

How do I keep my bong clean?

To keep your bong clean and functioning properly, you should rinse it with warm water after each use. Additionally, it is important to give it a deeper clean by taking apart your bong and soaking the pieces in a mixture of warm water and alcohol or baking soda. Allow the pieces to air dry before putting them back together for use. If you don't clean your bong for a long period of time this could lead to mold buildup, which can be harmful if inhaled over an extended period of time which is why it's best not to cut corners when cleaning! If there are too many hard-to-reach places on your bong, investing in a pipe cleaner or special cleaning solution product will help ensure that your new favorite piece won't let you down.

Are bongs a good option for beginners?

Bongs can be a great option for beginners because they offer a simple and efficient way to smoke marijuana. Bongs work by filtering smoke through water, which can help to cool the smoke and make it easier on the throat and lungs. Bongs also offer a more efficient way to smoke marijuana, as they allow the user to take a large hit all at once, rather than having to take multiple small hits as with a pipe or joint. Additionally, bongs are generally easy to use and do not require any special skills or knowledge to operate. Overall, bongs can be a great choice for beginners who are looking for a convenient and efficient way to smoke marijuana.

Is smoking weed from a silicone bong safe?

It is generally considered safe to smoke weed from a silicone bong, as silicone is a non-toxic, heat-resistant material that is commonly used in a variety of consumer products, including bongs.

How do I use my water bong to smoke dabs?

In order to smoke dabs using a bong, you will need to replace the dry herb bowl with a dab nail. The dab nail is heated with a dab torch and then the concentrate is placed on it. The user then inhales the vaporized concentrate through the bong. If you're looking for the best possible dabbing experience, we highly suggest purchasing a dab rig.

Can i smoke from a bong without adding water?

Yes, you can smoke from a bong without using water. But, we highly recommend you don't do this.  he water in a bong enhances the smoking experience in several ways. The bong's water acts as a filter, trapping particulate matter and toxins. Water cools the smoke you will inhale, making it easier on the throat and lungs. Without water, smoke may be hotter, harsher, and contain more toxins.

What's the difference between a bubbler and a bong?

Both a bong and a bubbler are forms of water pipes used to smoke cannabis. When you compare the two items the primary difference you will notice will be the size.

A bubbler is a small and portable water pipe that usually has a that lacks certain features found in bongs. Bubblers are simple smoking accessories that have a built-in herb bowl, downsteam, water chamber, and mouthpiece.

On the other hand, a bong is a bigger water pipe that typically has a more elaborate design. Bongs may also have percolators which are small filters that assist in further cooling and filtering the smoke.

In general, bubblers provide a more discreet and portable smoking option, whereas bongs are frequently preferred due to their larger size and superior filtration abilities. The decision between bubblers and bongs often comes down to personal preference because both can be used to smoke a variety of substances.

How much water should i put in my bong before I smoke?

The amount of water you should put in a bong depends on the size and design of the water pipe. Generally, it is recommended to fill the bong with enough water to cover the downstem, which is the part of the bong that leads from the bowl to the base. It is important to note that the water in a bong serves several important functions. It helps to cool and filter the smoke, making it smoother and easier on the lungs. It also helps to reduce the amount of tar and other impurities that are inhaled. Overall, the key is to find the right balance between sufficient filtration and a comfortable smoking experience. It may take some trial and error to determine the optimal amount of water for your bong, but a good starting point is to fill the bong with enough water to cover the downstem.
