Question 1

How does a glass bong work?

Accepted Answer

Smoking with a glass bong is straightforward. Glass bongs consist of a few elements; a bowl, a carb, a downstem, a base, and a tube. The first step in using your bong is to fill the bong with water. After that, you have to place your herb or tobacco into the bowl. Make sure your herb or tobacco is ground well for the best combustion flow. Next to that, it's essential to place a screen in the bowl before you fill it, to prevent small pieces of the herb or tobacco from falling through. Now it's time to light up the bowl and start inhaling the smoke. The smoke will make its way through the bong and will be filtered by the water. This process will give you a smooth hit.

Question 2

How much water do you put in a glass bong?

Accepted Answer

There is no rule about how much water to put in your glass bong. In most cases, the glass bong should be filled about half an inch above the bottom part of the downstem so that it's submerged in water. With this amount of water, the water will act as a filter and cooler to the smoke. This process will result in a smooth hit that will feel easy on your throat and lungs.
There are also glass bongs that are equipped with percolators that will filter the water. These percolators shouldn't be filled with water because that stops them from bubbling.

Question 3

Are glass bongs better than plastic bongs?

Accepted Answer

Glass bongs aren't notably better than plastic bongs, but there are many advantages when you're using a glass bong. Plastic bongs are cheap and not easy to break, but glass bongs will give you significantly better hits! Next to that, glass bongs are mostly easier and more rewarding to clean than acrylic bongs. When you clean your glass bong, it will almost always clean up as good as new, while with acrylic bongs, it's harder to get the stains out. Next to that, the plastic material won't last as long as glass will, and an acrylic bong will hold the smell of smoke.

Question 4

Why are glass bongs so expensive?

Accepted Answer

The price of glass bongs depends on different factors. Glass bongs are more expensive than, for example, an acrylic bong because glass is a more expensive material. Next to that, some glass bongs are hand blown instead of made with a mold, making them more expensive. Next to that, you will also pay for the brand of the bong.

Question 7

Are glass bongs dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Glass bongs are designed for daily use and shouldn't be dangerous. Though there are some things, you should be alert for when buying a bong. Make sure to don't buy a bong that has been made with lead paint. When you smoke a bong that has lead paint on it, it can occur that you're getting lead poisoning. When you experience the symptoms of lead poisoning, it's essential to consult a medical professional immediately.

Question 8

Is it safe to smoke glass?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but if you have a bong and a part of it broke, some glass particles will become stuck in the water while being filtered and thus will not be able to be inhaled. To be sure that you won't inhale any glass, rinse your bong off with water and let it dry for at least 12 hours. Next to that, it's essential to don't use a pipe because you could suck the glass in your throat.
The best way to make sure you won't inhale any glass is, of course, to buy a new glass bong.

Question 9

Will a glass bong break in the cold?

Accepted Answer

If you handle your clear bong with care, it will not suddenly break in the cold. It might happen when you fill your glass bong with water entirely and leave it outside where the liquid can freeze. Then the glass will expand, which can cause it to break. Just make sure to empty the glass bong after using it and not leave it outside when it's freezing.

Question 10

What is a glass-on-glass bong?

Accepted Answer

A glass-on-glass bong is a very popular bong. The main characteristic of this bong is the pull-out slider. Most of the time, this bong doesn't have a carb hole. When you use it, the slide pulls out when you inhale, and then it slides back into the bong. At Grasscity, we offer a lot of glass on glass bongs. One example is the Glasscity Limited Edition Glass Beaker Ice Bong.
