Why Bongs Are a Smoker’s Best Friend

Bongs have been the cornerstone of the smoking world for generations, beloved for their ability to deliver smoother, cooler hits with every use. Whether you’re into flowers, dry herbs, or tobacco, a bong can elevate your smoking experience by filtering out impurities and cooling the smoke, making each hit less harsh on your throat and lungs. Our collection at DankGeek offers the best bongs for beginners, classic beaker styles, innovative recyclers, and percolator-packed masterpieces designed for those seeking the ultimate smoking experience, each designed to enhance the flavor and potency of your smoke. 

A Brief History of Bongs

A bong, also called a waterpipe, is a device that’s mostly used to smoke weed, tobacco, or other herbs. 

Think of a bong as a smaller, more portable version of a hookah. It works by taking any airtight container and adding a bowl and stem that pushes air below the water, making it bubble up as you smoke. To get that last bit of smoke, you usually cover a small hole (known as the “carb”) while you’re smoking, then uncover it to inhale. If your bong doesn’t have a carb, you just pull out the bowl or stem to let in air.

People have been using bongs for centuries, especially in places like Laos, Thailand, and Africa. The term “bong” first popped up in a 1944 Thai-English dictionary, where it was described as a bamboo pipe for smoking. The word appeared again in a 1971 issue of the Marijuana Review.

The word "bong" comes from the Thai word for a bamboo tube or pipe, which was traditionally used for smoking. Fun fact: back in 2013, some archaeologists in Russia found that ancient Scythian chiefs were smoking cannabis and opium from gold vessels about 2400 years ago. They stumbled upon this discovery while clearing land for a power line.

Fast forward to the time of Emperor Akbar in India, where a guy named Hakim Abul Fath invented the waterpipe and introduced tobacco smoking. He suggested passing the smoke through water to make it less harsh. Some say the waterpipe was also developed in China during the late Ming dynasty and spread through Persia along the Silk Road. By the Qing dynasty, it was the go-to way to smoke tobacco, though it fell out of favor after the Republic era. Even though it was popular among common folks, Empress Dowager Cixi, one of China’s last empresses, preferred waterpipes and was even buried with a few. Some of these are now displayed in the Palace Museum.

Bongs from the Qing dynasty typically came in two styles: a basic bamboo version used by rural people and a fancier metal version for merchants, city dwellers, and nobility. These metal bongs were often made from bronze, brass, or silver, and sometimes decorated with jewels. They had a simple design with a bowl-stem, a water container, and a drawtube that could be anywhere from 3 to 12 inches long. Smokers would usually keep all their gear on a small pipe rack, holding it with one hand while lighting the bowl with a slow-burning paper wick. Unlike in other parts of the world, older generations in this region tend to stick with waterpipes.

Things to Consider Before Buying a Bong

When selecting the perfect bong, it's essential to consider various factors that can influence your smoking experience. From the material of the bong to its size, design, and functionality (percolation), each aspect plays a crucial role in determining how well the bong suits your needs. Below, we break down the key factors to consider, helping you make an informed decision.

Bong Design Choices

When it comes to choosing the perfect bong, the design you select can dramatically impact your smoking experience. At DankGeek, we offer a diverse array of styles, each with its own unique benefits and features. Whether you’re a casual smoker or a seasoned pro, understanding the different types of bongs will help you find the perfect piece to suit your needs.

Beaker Bongs

Beaker bongs are a classic choice, beloved for their stability and larger water capacity, making them perfect for those new to bong smoking. Their wide, sturdy base makes them less likely to tip over, which is perfect for those clumsy moments or group sessions. The spacious beaker base allows for more water, which results in increased filtration and cooler smoke, leading to smoother, more enjoyable hits. This makes beaker bongs ideal for both beginners and experienced smokers who appreciate a robust and reliable design.

Why Choose a Beaker Bong?

  • Stability: The wide base ensures that the bong remains steady during use, reducing the risk of accidental spills.

  • Smooth Hits: The larger water volume enhances filtration, providing cooler and smoother smoke.

  • Ease of Cleaning: Beaker bongs are generally easier to clean, thanks to their simple design.

Straight Tube Bongs

Straight tube bongs are sleek, simple, and efficient, making them a great choice for smokers seeking a budget-friendly option. Their straight design allows smoke to travel quickly from the bowl to the mouthpiece, resulting in fast, powerful hits. Straight bongs are easy to clean and maintain. Straight tube bongs are great for those who prefer a straightforward smoking experience without the extra frills.

Why Choose a Straight Tube Bong?

  • Powerful Hits: The direct path of the smoke delivers potent, concentrated hits.

  • Simple Design: Their minimalistic design makes them easy to use and clean.

  • Versatility: Many straight tube bongs offer easy customization with different percolators or accessories.

Bubble Base Bongs

Bubble base bongs, with their rounded base, are a throwback to the classic designs popularized in the 1970s. The bubble shape increases the water capacity, allowing for better smoke filtration and cooling. This design also enhances stability, making it less likely to tip over. Bubble base bongs offer a nostalgic, yet effective smoking experience with smooth, cooled hits.

Why Choose a Bubble Base Bong?

  • Enhanced Filtration: The larger water capacity allows for better filtration and cooler smoke.

  • Stability: The bubble base provides a stable foundation, reducing the likelihood of tipping.

  • Classic Design: These bongs combine vintage style with modern functionality, appealing to both old-school smokers and new enthusiasts.

Zongs

Zong bongs are instantly recognizable due to their unique zigzag-shaped neck. This distinctive design isn’t just for show—it actually helps to cool the smoke more effectively by increasing the distance it travels before reaching your mouth. The zigzag shape also acts as a splash guard, preventing water from reaching the mouthpiece. Zongs are perfect for smokers who want a piece that stands out and delivers an exceptional smoking experience with enhanced cooling and filtration.

Why Choose a Zong?

  • Unique Cooling: The zigzag design cools the smoke by increasing the distance it travels.

  • Splash Protection: The zigzag shape prevents water from reaching the mouthpiece.

  • Aesthetic Appeal: Zongs are visually striking and add a touch of flair to your collection.

Percolator Bongs

Percolator bongs pass your smoke or vapor through water several more times before reaching your mouth Large bubblers of smoke/vapor are broken into smaller bubbles, which then pass through water. The smoke comes in contact with the water cooling it and filtering it. 

Why Choose a Perc (Percolator) Bong?

  • Maximum Filtration: The percolation process ensures the smoke is filtered multiple times, resulting in ultra-smooth hits.

  • Coolest Smoke: Percolator bongs offer the coolest smoke or vapor due to their high level of water to smoke contact.

  • Ideal for Pros: The cooler filtered smoke allows for larger hits. This makes percolator bongs ideal for seasoned smokers.

Grommetted Bongs

The OG Bong! At least as it’s known in the modern days. Bongs as we know them today originally did not have a glass-on-glass connection. The seals were made with rubber grommets. Hence, the grommetted bong. When you think of hippies smoking herbs or Cheech and Chong, you think of grommeted bongs, also known as pull-stem bongs. 

Why Choose a Grommetted Bong?

  • Affordable Options: Many grommeted bongs are more affordable than their glass on glass (GOG) counterparts.

  • Same Filteration: Grommeted bongs offer the same filtration as GOG cousins.

  • Design/Style Choices: These classic bongs offer a large variety of functional and novel designs. 

Glass on Glass Bongs

Glass on Glass was the evolution of the grommet. A glass-on-glass, also known as GOG, makes for a tighter seal, pristine flavor, fewer moving parts, and a high level of customization with accessories. GOG bongs are the staple for today’s modern-day smoker

Why Choose a Grommetted Bong?

  • Nothing but Glass: Pure and clean. Nothing but pure borosilicate glass. No interactions with your smoke/vapor.

  • Customization: Most amount fo the available accessories for any smoking occasion.

  • Design/Style Choices: Large variety of design and function choices. From percs, ashcatchers, shapes, and colors.

Multi-Chamber Bongs

Also known as double bubblers, multi-chamber bongs feature two or more chambers, each with its own water filtration system. This design significantly enhances the cooling and filtration of the smoke, providing an exceptionally smooth hit. However, they can be a bit more challenging to clean due to the multiple chambers.

Why Choose a Multi-Chamber Bong?

  • Superior Filtration: Multiple chambers provide enhanced smoke cooling and filtration.

  • Smoother Hits: The additional water chambers ensure a cleaner, less harsh smoking experience.

  • Scientific Designs: These bongs are often more intricate and offer a more advanced smoking experience.

Heady Bongs

Heady bongs are more than just smoking devices; they are intricate works of art crafted by skilled glassblowers. These bongs are known for their vibrant colors, unique shapes, and elaborate designs, often incorporating complex patterns, 3D elements, and even custom themes. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, making them highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs alike. While they deliver smooth, enjoyable hits, heady bongs are prized just as much for their aesthetic appeal as their functionality. Ideal for those who appreciate both the art and science of smoking, these bongs are true statement pieces that elevate any collection.

Why Choose a Heady Bong?

  • Collector Items: Heady bongs are prized for their value some selling for tens of thousands of dollars.

  • Functional Art: These unique one of a kind bongs are made by artists who also prize functionality. Unique percs designed with function in mind. 

  • Unique Expression: Express your style with a bong that matches your personality, while supporting artists.

Additional Designs:

Gravity Bongs

Gravity bongs utilize the force of gravity to pull smoke into a chamber, creating dense and potent hits. They are typically made from simple materials like plastic bottles and buckets, though more sophisticated glass versions are also available. Gravity bongs are a favorite among those looking for powerful hits with minimal effort.

Why Choose a Gravity Bong?

  • Powerful Hits: Gravity bongs are known for delivering intense, concentrated hits.

  • Party Tricks: Always fun to sesh with friends or a great conversion starter at a party.

  • Something Different: Gravity bongs offer a unique smoking experience.

Coil Condenser Bongs

Coil condenser bongs feature a coil condenser filled with glycerin, which can be frozen before use. The design is dimilar to a condenser on a still or in a lab.

Why Choose a Glycerin Coil Condenser Bong?

  • The Good - Ultra-Cool Hits: The glycerin-filled coil significantly cools the smoke, resulting in an exceptionally smooth hit.

  • The Bad - Loss of active ingredients: You literally condense the oils with their active ingredients to the walls of your pipe. As the oil cools it sticks to surfaces of the pipe.

  • More Bad - Prone to leaks and breakage: The glycerin in these coils often leak and break easily. 

  • We do sell Glycerin Coil Condensers, but we aren’t fans, so we don’t recommend them.

Does Glass Thickness Matter?

Thick Glass Bongs: Built for durability and style, thick glass bongs are made from high-quality borosilicate glass, ensuring they can withstand daily use. Glass tube typically comes in what is known to glass blowers as Thin-wall, standard-wall, and heavy-wall. For a 50mm tube used in most bongs, the thickness of the glass wall is 4mm, 5mm, 7mm, and 9mm. 7mm and 9mm are considered heavy thick glass. 4mm and 5mm are your standard bong. 

7mm and 9mm glass are thicker and more durable. But most people break their bongs at weak points like the joint or base. These areas are fragile even on a super thick pipe. It’s still glass. Don’t be fooled by people advertising “unbreakable bongs” there is no such thing.

In most cases, 5mm thickness is just as durable. It’s also lighter and easier to handle. 

Materials: Right Material for Your Needs

The material of your bong not only affects its durability and ease of use but also the flavor and quality of your smoke. Here’s a closer look at the most popular bong materials:

  • Glass Bongs: Known for their pure taste and heat resistance, glass bongs offer a clean, smooth smoking experience.

Percolators

Percolators are the unsung heroes of the bong world, designed to take your smoking experience to the next level. By enhancing the diffusion and cooling of smoke, percolators ensure that each hit is smoother, cleaner, and more enjoyable. They work by breaking up the smoke into smaller bubbles, increasing the surface area that comes into contact with the water. This process cools the smoke more effectively and filters out more impurities, resulting in less harsh and more flavorful hits.

Whether you’re new to the world of bongs or a seasoned smoker, understanding the different types of percolators can help you choose the right piece to match your preferences. Bong percolators come in a variety of designs, each offering unique benefits that cater to different smoking styles. Some prioritize maximum filtration and smoothness, while others focus on maintaining the flavor profile of your herbs. No matter your preference, adding a percolator to your bong is a surefire way to enhance your smoking sessions.

Here are some popular types of percolators, each bringing its own distinct advantages to the table:

  • Honeycomb Percs: These feature multiple small holes that create lots of bubbles for maximum filtration and smooth hits.

  • Tree Percs: Resembling tree branches, these percs have multiple arms with slits or holes, providing excellent filtration and cooling.

  • Disc Percs: Disc percolators, often found in bongs and dab rigs, are flat, disc-shaped percs with multiple small holes or slits that diffuse smoke or vapor for smoother hits. Their design maximizes the surface area for smoke filtration, providing a clean and flavorful experience. Disc percolators are favored for their simplicity, efficiency, and ease of cleaning, making them a popular choice among smokers who want enhanced filtration without the complexity of more intricate percs.

  • In-Line Percs: In-line percolators feature a horizontal tube with multiple slits or holes that effectively diffuse smoke for smooth, clean hits. Positioned along the base of the bong or dab rig, these percolators provide a significant increase in surface area for smoke filtration, ensuring each draw is cooled and filtered efficiently. In-line percs are popular for their sleek design and superior performance, making them a favorite for those who seek enhanced functionality without sacrificing aesthetics. Easy to clean and maintain, they offer a consistent and enjoyable smoking experience.

  • Matrix Percs: Matrix percolators are renowned for their superior filtration and smooth hits. They consist of a grid-like structure with numerous slits or holes, creating a large surface area for maximum smoke diffusion. This intricate design ensures that smoke is broken up into tiny bubbles, significantly cooling and filtering each hit. Matrix percs are popular for their efficiency and impressive visual appeal, providing a visually satisfying experience as smoke travels through the intricate grid. Easy to clean and highly effective, matrix percolators are a top choice for those seeking the ultimate smooth smoking experience.

  • Vortex/Cyclone Percs: Vortex, or Cyclone percolators, create a captivating whirlpool effect by spinning the smoke around a central point before it rises through the water. This spinning motion not only looks impressive but also significantly cools and filters the smoke, resulting in exceptionally smooth hits. The dynamic design enhances both functionality and visual appeal, making Vortex/Cyclone percs a popular choice for those who appreciate a unique and efficient smoking experience. Enjoy cooler, cleaner hits with the mesmerizing action of a Vortex/Cyclone percolator.

  • Showerhead/UFO Percs: Showerhead, or UFO percolators, feature a disc-shaped design with multiple slits or holes that create an even distribution of smoke through the water. As smoke passes through these slits, it is broken into smaller bubbles, which increases the surface area for cooling and filtration. This design ensures smoother, cooler hits and significantly reduces harshness. The circular shape and efficient diffusion make Showerhead/UFO percs a popular choice for those seeking consistent and visually appealing filtration. Enjoy a cleaner and more enjoyable smoking experience with these innovative percolators.

  • Recycler Percs: Recycler percolators are designed to provide the smoothest and cleanest hits possible by continuously cycling the water and smoke through the percolator multiple times before inhalation. This process maximizes filtration and cooling, resulting in a remarkably smooth smoking experience. The continuous movement of water prevents stale smoke from lingering in the chamber, ensuring every hit is fresh. Recycler percs are highly effective and visually engaging, making them a favorite for those who prioritize performance and aesthetics in their smoking sessions.

  • Slitted Pyramid Percs: Slitted Pyramid percolators feature a pyramid-shaped design with multiple slits along the sides. This unique structure breaks the smoke into numerous small bubbles as it passes through, enhancing diffusion and cooling. The pyramid shape allows for even distribution of smoke, ensuring smoother and cleaner hits. These percs not only offer excellent filtration but also add a visually striking element to your bong, making them a popular choice for those who appreciate both functionality and aesthetics in their smoking experience.

  • Hammer Head Percs: Hammer Head percolators are designed with a horizontal, hammer-like tube featuring multiple slits or holes along its surface. As smoke is drawn through, it is diffused and broken into smaller bubbles, significantly increasing surface area for better cooling and filtration. This results in exceptionally smooth and flavorful hits. Hammer Head percs are prized for their efficiency and unique design, making them a standout choice for smokers looking for both performance and visual appeal in their glassware.

  • Swiss Percolators: Swiss percolators are unique in design, featuring a series of randomly placed holes throughout the body. This chaotic arrangement creates a complex path for the smoke to travel, resulting in highly effective filtration with minimal drag. The unconventional structure not only enhances smoke cooling but also adds a visually striking element to your bong, making each hit smooth and enjoyable.

  • Donut Percolators: Donut percolators are characterized by a single, large hole in the center, resembling a donut. This simple yet effective design provides excellent diffusion as smoke is forced to pass around the hole, which also serves as a built-in splash guard. The donut shape helps cool the smoke significantly while preventing water from reaching the mouthpiece, ensuring a clean, smooth hit every time.

  • Fritted Disc Percolators: Fritted disc percolators are a powerhouse of diffusion, taking the concept of honeycomb percolators to the next level. With a finer mesh of fused glass particles, these percs create an incredibly dense cloud of bubbles, maximizing surface area for cooling and filtration. This results in smoother, cleaner hits, making fritted disc percs a favorite for those seeking top-tier performance.

  • Circ Percolators: Circ percolators feature a circular design with slits along the outer edge. This configuration allows smoke to be efficiently diffused as it travels through the water, providing a smooth and clean hit. The circular shape ensures even distribution of bubbles, enhancing the cooling process and making circ percs a popular choice for those who appreciate effective filtration without sacrificing airflow.

  • Cross Percolators: Cross percolators are designed with cross-shaped tubes that direct smoke away from the center of the bong. This structure enhances both airflow and filtration, ensuring that the smoke is thoroughly cooled before inhalation. The cross design not only adds to the visual appeal of your bong but also ensures a smooth and enjoyable smoking experience by breaking up the smoke into smaller particles for better diffusion.

Questions about Bongs

What materials are bongs made from?

Bongs have been made from a variety of materials, including bamboo, steel, glass, acrylic, silicone, and metal.

What are the differences between pull-stem and glass on glass bowls?

A pull stem bowl, also known as a "lift-off bowl" or a "slider bowl," is a special type of bowl that you pull out of the bong while smoking and usually features a rubber grommet. They are made from borosilicate glass and are designed to fit into the bong's built-in downstem.

On the other hand, a glass on glass bowl is a type of bowl that is made entirely of glass, including the downstem and the bowl. This design allows for more versatility when it comes to shapes and can feature intricate percolation systems capable of filtering and cooling the smoke very effectively


What does a recycler bong do?

A recycler bong uses a two-chamber system to recycle water and vapor, providing a smoother hit and preventing splashback. It offers enhanced filtration and cooling properties, making it a popular choice among smokers for a cleaner smoking experience.

What benefits would I get from adding an ashcatcher to my bong?

Adding an ash catcher to your bong can improve filtration, making your hits smoother and cleaner, while also simplifying maintenance, extending the longevity of your bong, and offering versatility through customization options. This investment can lead to a more enjoyable and cost-effective smoking experience.

How will a percolator effect my experience using my bong?

A percolator added to a bong can enhance your smoking experience by filtering smoke through water, providing a smoother hit and removing harmful toxins. Different types of percolators like inline, tree, and showerhead offer varying levels of filtration and cooling, improving flavor and making inhalation easier.
