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. For use with wax, oils, and dabs, we recommend choosing a glass dab rig instead, as those are designed to maximize flavor and are perfect glass bongs for concentrates. Bongs are available at many smoke shops and online retailers, including CaliConnected.com! Before purchasing a bong online, do some research to find the best deal and a reliable retailer. We are constantly running promotions and have a price-match guarantee to try and always bring you the best price available online.
Glass bongs and water pipes do not have a chemical reaction to the heat produced from the burning of herbs or the heat of the smoke like smoking from a plastic or metal apparatus can. Because they are easier to clean, bongs do not have the risk of building up mold or bacteria like other bowls might. When it comes to deciding which bong to buy, it ultimately comes down to your personal need.
Once you understand the components of a bong, using a water pipe is like riding a bike, you can ride or smoke anywhere. Using glass bongs provide the most tasteful, smoothest, and healthiest way to smoke herb. Glass bongs deliver more water filtration than bubblers or dab rigs and certainly more than pipes or blunts. Silicone bongs leave a plastic aftertaste and use minimal percolators and water filtration. Borosilicate glass (which is what Freeze Pipe’s bongs are made from) was designed and is used for testing elements in laboratories.
It’s important to note that glass bongs don’t actually filter out any harmful toxins or carcinogens, they primarily just cool the smoke down before you inhale. Some bongs also offer percolators (percs) for greater diffusion, condensing, and cooling smoke even more for massive rips! However, a lot of experienced cannabis users tend to use beaker bongs because they are just easier to clean.
We’ve curated a selection of bongs for sale made from durable borosilicate glass and other high-quality, safe materials (like silicone bongs). You have nothing to fear if it’s your first time ordering a bong, vaporizer, or glass pipe online. A water pipe, vaporizer, or any other smoking device can not be deemed drug paraphernalia until it is used with an illegal substance. Simply ordering a bong online will not get you into trouble unless (and until) you are using it to break the law. Click here to read our full blog post on the legality of buying a bong online.
The biggest difference-making feature bongs can have is a glycerin coil. No amount of percolators or ice cubes comes close to the smoothness and cooling glycerin coils create. But not all glycerin coils are created equal and it’s taken us years to perfect the best glycerin coil technology.
A standard glass bong will typically come with a downstem and an ice pincher. For more complex bongs, they are designed with options to add on extensions and filters such as an ash catcher or percolator. You can customize your piece to your liking and add as many percolators as your bong allows.
A larger bong has more room for percolation and more room for special contraptions and accessories such as ice catches and bowl attachments, which enhance the smoking experience. All of our glass bongs are made with high quality borosilicate glass but sometimes you just want a thicker more durable bong. I’m sure you saw our viral video that got 20 million views where we hammered a nail into a piece of wood with one of our thick glass bongs. Thick bongs have more weight to them so less chance of them tipping over and if they do tip over there’s a better chance of them not breaking. Beaker bongs are a tried and true classic design that will work flawlessly every single time you use it. They are very easy to clean and allow you to add a lot of water for a good chug when you smoke them.
You’ll have to look closely to see inconsistencies in the glaze, a reminder that this is made by humans, which is a feat upon first glance.
