If you like a lot of filtration we recommend getting a bong that contains lots of percolators and different chambers. The more percs and chambers your bong has, the more filtration and smoke cooling that can occur providing you with the most pleasant hit possible. The amount of water you should put in your bong determines on the shape and size of your bong and on your downstem. There should be enough water in your bong so that the downstem and its slits are covered. A good way to test this is to try and take a hit of your bong, without actually lighting anything. Inhale, and if there are bubbles without water splashing back at you while you imitate a bong hit, you should be good to go.
A bong is made up of a tube, base, downstem, carb and bowl. As you pull smoke from the bowl through the downstem and up the chamber, clean smoke moves through the water in the form of bubbles, filtering tar and ash while cooling down the smoke. How to hit a bong is an art form in itself, especially as you learn how to blow smoke rings, how to french inhale and other smoke tricks.
For example, our 15″ Single Honeycomb to Spinning Guard water pipe will only be compatible with male accessories. You can find water pipes in all shapes and sizes — every user wants something different, to suit their own unique smoking style. When you’re looking for powerful effects, bongs can be your best friend. Often referred to as water pipes, glass bongs are remarkably similar to glass pipes.
Scientific glass and straight tube pipes look as if they belong in a lab. With their clean and clear appearance, you can easily see how much smoke has built up in the tube. Scientific glass are some of our most popular designs. The bowl is the part of the bong where cannabis buds are contained and heated. The smoke filters through water by traveling through the downstem, a cylinder glass piece with holes that connects the bowl to the bong. The smoke travels through the neck and up to the mouthpiece where users inhale.
People have been finding and using it to shape weapons, jewelry, and many other things for thousands of years. However, the first examples of people creating glass come from coastal Mesopotamia right around the year 2000 BCE. They used the glass they made to form tools and beads that they would wear as jewelry.
