Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: Why should I use a bong over a pipe?
  A: Bongs cool and filter your smoke through water, making each hit smoother and less harsh on your throat and lungs. Unlike dry pipes, they allow for bigger rips with less irritation—ideal for both casual and daily smokers.
• Q: How do I pick the right bong for me?
  A: Start by choosing the right size—smaller bongs are easier to handle and more portable, while larger ones offer bigger hits and better filtration. Next, consider how many percolators you want. More percs mean cooler, smoother smoke—but also a tighter pull that requires more lung power. Beginners often start with one or two percs; seasoned smokers may prefer stacked chambers for maximum diffusion.
• Q: Are glass bongs better than silicone or acrylic?
  A: Glass bongs—especially borosilicate glass—offer the cleanest taste and are easier to clean. Silicone is virtually indestructible and great for travel, while acrylic is more affordable but less durable and harder to clean over time.
• Q: Can I use ice in my bong?
  A: Yes! Many bongs have ice pinches or notches in the neck to hold ice cubes, which cool the smoke and make hits smoother on your throat and lungs.
• Q: What type of bong hits the smoothest?
  A: Bongs with multiple percolators, ice catchers, or diffused downstems typically provide the smoothest hits by cooling and filtering the smoke more thoroughly.
• Q: Do all bongs come with a bowl included?
  A: Most bongs come with a compatible glass bowl included, but always double-check the product listing. Some higher-end or heady pieces may be sold without accessories.
• Q: What’s the best bong for beginners?
  A: A simple beaker or straight tube bong, around 10–12 inches tall, is great for beginners. They're easy to use, clean, and customize with accessories as you learn.
