Bongs

BONGS DESIGNED FOR A BETTER SMOKING EXPERIENCE

A bong is designed to deliver cool, smooth hits every time you smoke. It consists of a water chamber, a bowl or cone piece, a downstem and a mouthpiece. The way it works is simple. Smoke travels through water, which cools it down and filters out larger particles before you take a hit.

This water filtration system helps create a better smoking session by reducing harshness and making each draw more controlled. It’s a popular choice for Aussies who want a cleaner and more balanced option.

We stock a wide range of bongs to suit different preferences. Small bongs are compact and easy to use, medium bongs provide a steady draw without being too bulky, while large bongs hold more water for cooler, fuller draws. Whatever your setup, we have one designed for a better smoking experience.

WHY BONGS ARE A POPULAR WAY TO SMOKE HERBS

Bongs are a popular way to smoke herbs because the water filtration system cools the smoke as it passes through, which helps reduce harshness. This process also traps larger particles for a cleaner inhale. With different materials, shapes and filtration levels, bongs suit a wide range of preferences.

Unlike dry pipes or joints, which deliver smoke directly, bongs use water to reduce heat before inhaling. This makes them a go-to option for those looking for a more balanced draw. With options ranging from basic glass bongs to designs with built-in percolators, we offer a selection to work with different setups.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF BONGS?

Bongs come in different styles, each designed to improve airflow, cooling and filtration. The right choice depends on materials, shape, filtration features and personal preferences.

Here are some of the most common types of bongs and what sets them apart:

• Glass and silicone bongs: Glass bongs are a great choice for those who want a cleaner inhale and durable construction, while silicone bongs are ideal for those looking for flexibility, impact resistance and easy cleaning.
• Straight tube and beaker bongs: Straight tube bongs provide strong airflow with minimal drag, and beaker bongs feature a wide base for added stability and enhanced water filtration.
• Percolator and ice catcher bongs: For an even smoother experience, percolator bongs use built-in chambers to refine the smoke, while ice catcher bongs let you add ice cubes for a cooler inhale.
• Bubble bongs: Bubble bongs feature a rounded water chamber that helps cool the smoke.
• Gripper and novelty bongs: Gripper bongs come with a shaped design for a secure hold, and novelty bongs, skull bongs and Rick and Morty bongs showcase bold, standout designs.
• Gatorade bongs: Gatorade bongs take inspiration from DIY versions, but they’re made with durable, high-quality acrylic for a long-lasting and reliable setup.

At My Bong Shop, you’ll find a wide selection of bongs to suit different styles and budgets. From cheap bongs to premium bongs, each one is built for smoother draws, better filtration and everyday use.

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT BONG FOR YOUR SESSION

Choosing the best bong depends on how you like to smoke, where you’ll be using it and how much filtration you prefer. Some smokers want a simple, straightforward setup, while others look for extra cooling and smoother draws.

We’ve put together these key factors to help you decide:

• Size: Mini bongs are compact and easy to handle, making them great for quick sessions or small spaces. Larger bongs hold more water, providing cooler smoke and smoother draws.
• Material: Glass beaker bongs are known for excellent filtration and long-term durability, while acrylic bongs are lightweight and budget-friendly. If you’re after a low-maintenance option, silicone bongs are flexible, nearly unbreakable and easy to clean.
• Filtration: Percolators, diffusers and bubblers break up smoke to improve airflow and create a smoother inhale. A percolator bong with a diffuser offers even more filtration for a cleaner pull.
• Ease of cleaning: Straight tube and beaker bongs are easier to clean than those with multiple chambers or extra parts. Beginners often prefer these designs since they require less maintenance. An ash catcher helps reduce buildup and simplifies cleaning.
• Portability: Mini bongs and acrylic bongs are lightweight and sturdy, making them easier to carry and store than larger glass pieces.

HOW TO USE A BONG THE RIGHT WAY

To use a bong properly, start by setting it up correctly and controlling your inhale. A well-packed bowl, the right water level and steady airflow all contribute to a smoother draw. Regular cleaning also improves performance and prevents buildup.

Follow these steps for the best results:

1. Fill the water chamber until the downstem is slightly submerged. This helps cool the smoke and filter out larger particles.
2. Grind and pack your herbs using a grinder. Pack the bowl lightly to allow for even airflow.
3. Light the bowl and inhale slowly to pull the smoke through the water.
4. Clear the chamber by removing the bowl or releasing the carb hole to take a full draw.
5. Clean your bong regularly by emptying the water and removing ash and residue. This maintains smooth airflow and keeps each session fresh.

MUST-HAVE BONG ACCESSORIES FOR EVERY SESSION

The right smoking accessories keep your bong setup organised, efficient and easy to use. A rolling tray provides a flat surface for packing your bowl, while scales help measure the right amount every time.

For reliable lighting, jet lighters produce a powerful, wind-resistant flame, making them ideal for outdoor sessions. Standard flame lighters also work well for a steady, controlled burn.

Storage and maintenance are also important. Ashtrays keep your space clean by containing ash and preventing spills. Test kits help check for purity before smoking. For a discreet and secure way to carry your gear, satchel bags protect your bong and accessories from damage while keeping everything organised.

HOW TO CLEAN A BONG AND KEEP IT FRESH

A dirty bong clogs airflow and affects filtration, making each session harsher than it should be. Regular cleaning keeps your bong in top condition by removing resin buildup and maintaining functionality.

With the right bong cleaning supplies, it’s easy to keep your setup fresh and ready to use. Here’s how to clean your bong properly:

1. Disassemble your bong by removing the downstem and bowl to clean each piece separately.
2. Rinse with lukewarm water to loosen residue before deep cleaning.
3. Use cleaning supplies to break down buildup.
4. Seal the openings and shake to make sure the solution reaches all areas inside.
5. Rinse thoroughly and dry before reassembling to maintain clear airflow and keep your bong fresh.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN A BONG AND DAB RIG

A bong is made for smoking dry herbs, while a dab rig is designed for vaporising concentrates. Bongs use water filtration to cool the smoke, making each inhale smoother. Dab rigs operate at higher temperatures, using a heated banger or nail to create vapour instead of smoke.

Choosing between a bong and a dab rig depends on what you smoke, how you like to inhale and how much heat your setup needs. Water pipes are best for those who want larger, filtered hits with the option to add percolators or diffusers for extra cooling. For those who prefer stronger vapour and more flavour, dab rigs heat concentrates efficiently and work best with a torch or electronic heating element.
