WHAT ARE BONGS?

BONGS! What is a bong? A bong is a filtration system used for smoking herbals and tobacco in. some people call them pipes but they aren’t aware what the difference in a pipe and a bong is? The difference is that the smoke travels thru a long tube in which usually contain water or some other liquid. The liquid is a filter that takes the impurities out of the smoke. This leaves the smoke smoother and tasting clean compared to the smoke from the traditional pipe. The terms water bong and water pipe are more technically correct. There is a huge variety of bongs, and they are made from many different materials. 

Talk About Variety

Let’s talk about variety. You would not believe the variety of bongs! They are different animal shaped bongs, different designed directional bongs, filtration tubes that make different patterns and shapes bongs. Bongs made from big canisters, bongs made small canisters, bongs made from beakers, bongs made from recyclers, and bongs made from straight beakers too. They are even bongs that make the smoke look like a water fall or that it pours out of a skull and seeps thru the cracks. You can also get them in different colored glass or glass that has been etched from the inside. The etched glass lets the picture or design magically appear, as the smoke impurities and colors build up on the inside and stain the glass.

The Many Materials

Bongs come in many different materials like stained glass, molded silicone, colored glass, and Pyrex glass.

 Stained glass is see-thru where it is colored and where it is not colored. Its colored parts just seem to get darker in color.

 Molded silicone is a type of rubber like material that is basically unbreakable. They are molded into different shapes and have glass bowls to put the herbal tobacco in. 

Colored glass is made from glass that has been completely colored or just had solid colors of painted glass poured into the tubing as it is cooled.

Pyrex glass is a borosilicate glass that is thermally expanded at low temperatures. It was first introduced in 1915 by Corning as laboratory glass because it was resistant to breaking at high temperatures. However, it was developed first by a German Chemist named Otto Schott in 1893.
