A bong is a device for smoking tobacco. Bongs are made most commonly from borosilicate glass. There are many different bongs with varying shapes and sizes which provide different functions.

Bongs can be used to smoke cannabis or tobacco, depending on the user’s preferences. A bong contains water in the base to cool down the smoke before it reaches one’s lungs. Сheap bongs  can either have a single or double chamber design, both having unique benefits associated with them.

A bong is usually composed of four main components:

• – The bowl
• – The stem
• – Downstem
• – Base

Material examples are borosilicate glass for cold-water use very durable metal alloy borosilicate bongs are also available for hot-water use (e.g. borosilicate glass bong with borosilicate glass downstem & borosilicate glass bowl).

Acrylic bongs are cheaper than borosilicate bongs but they are not durable because the material breaks easily, thus, acrylic bongs need to be replaced more frequently than other types of bongs.

The most distinguishing feature of a bong is its large chamber which holds water or tobacco solution. Depending on the design of the bong, it may have an ice catcher at the top to cool smoke before inhalation . This device tends to collect moisture that eventually falls into the base where it can be pulled back into the main body or into the bong water.

Smaller bongs, usually called “pocket bongs”, are mostly used for smoking cannabis and tobacco. This bong is small but offers a large amount of smoke per breath because the bong’s chamber is very small compared to other bongs.

Bearing in mind that different users prefer different things, there are many reasons why people use bongs:

• Filtering
• Coolness
• Taste

The bong separates the act of smoking into two parts rather than inhaling smoke directly from burning materials. It allows smokers to remain comfortably seated or standing when smoking, while still experiencing an intense effect similar to that which they would feel if they were standing up and smoking something like marijuana without using a bong. Bongs can be used with pipes and rolled cones for a different smoking experience.

An ice bong is a bong that has an additional chamber to allow the user to put ice cubes in their bong; this makes the smoke much smoother. The smoke still gets filtered by the water in the bong, but it flows around the ice cube before reaching your mouth which cools down and filters out harmful chemicals like tar and carcinogens and increases smoothness and decreases irritation of lungs and throat (especially when sticking bongs).

An interesting fact is that bongs actually filter any other kind of legal herbal substance very well due to filtering material that bongs are made from (e.g. borosilicate glass) -Filtering Legal Herbs bongs come with a glass bowl, downstem and bong base. By pulling the bong’s stem out of its container, it will create a vacuum inside the bong which allows smoke to rush through water and reach the user’s lungs.

The most popular bongs are also made from borosilicate glass, because these materials make bongs not only more durable but they can be cleaned very easily as well too. Other materials that some bongs are composed of include wood or acrylic bongs instead of borosilicate bongs . Plastic is one of the cheapest materials used to manufacture bongs , although this material isn’t as durable as wooden bongs or even those made from acrylic. Acrylic is an interesting choice for a bong because it is lightweight, cheap, and very durable. Bongs tend to be made from borosilicate glass bongs , wood bongs or acrylic bongs .
