These water pipes either often come with a pedestal base or sit directly at the flattened end of the bubble base. An iconic look that offers good glass pipe versatility and ease of maintenance with its no-frills look. The idea that it is illegal to order bongs online is a common misconception.
The splash guard includes slits so vapor can still pass through, but the top is domed so the water falls back into the base of the pipe. Big, shotgun-like hits go down smooth with devices like the Lil Giza. So, one disadvantage is you’re going to have some upfront costs.
glass bongs are made from high-quality borosilicate glass and are individually hand-blown. With proper cleaning, a glass bong will last for many years while silicone bongs should be replaced after 1 year. While a bong might resemble a hookah, or shisha, they are in fact not the same device. Both bongs and shisha devices use good ole H20 to create massive clouds of filtered smoke, but they do not operate the same. A bong typically has the bowl on the side at the bottom of a bong, and must be lit up each time in conjunction with slightly inhaling to jumpstart the water filtration process.
The purpose of a splash guard is to prevent water from being inhaled as your taking a bong rip. Freeze Pipe pieces don’t use splash guards as the glycerin coils act as a natural barrier and between your mouth and percolating water. What serperates Freeze Pipe is our combination of glycercin cooling + function + price. We’re never going to be the cheapest, but compared to pricey competitors such as Illadelph or Mav Glass our pieces perfrom better at a lower cost. But with no middle-men, customer empathy and a deep background in operations we feel confident Freeze Pipe makes the best bongs on the market.
Probably what most people picture when you say the word bong. Beaker bongs almost exclusively feature a downstream percolator which is the rod connecting the joint to the water. Beaker bongs are easy to use and typically cheaper than other bongs. Due to the downstem they are limited in function and filtration but make up for it with ease of use and low maintenance. For those looking to choose a beginner bong the beaker style is a great place to start.
