Bongs have long been a favored method for people to enjoy their herb. Over the past few years, these iconic devices have seen remarkable advancements in design and functionality.
With so many options available when it comes to a new bong, many tokers are left feeling overwhelmed and wondering where to start. Fear not! In this blog, we’ll explore what to look for in a bong, then offer our top picks for the best bongs of 2023.
When diving into the world of bongs, knowing what makes one stand out is essential. Here's what you should consider:
Price: We've all heard the saying, "you get what you pay for." This rings true for bongs too. While spending more money usually equates to a superior bong, beginners can still find quality options without breaking the bank.
Design: A bong's design can make or break your smoking session. Features like thick walls offer added durability, while percolators ensure those hits are as smooth as silk.
Size: It's a balancing act. Larger bongs can deliver cooler, more pleasant hits, but they might be trickier to clean and less travel-friendly. Conversely, while a petite bong is super convenient, it might hit you with a stronger punch than expected.
Material: Glass reigns supreme in the bong world. It's durable, easy to clean, and heat-resistant. While alternatives like plastic or silicone might be lighter on the wallet, their quality can vary significantly.
Brand: Don't underestimate the power of a trusted brand. If you're after reliability, stick to names with a solid reputation. And always, always check user reviews to get the real scoop on specific brands and models.
