Bamboo bongs offer a unique aesthetic appeal and experience that is different from glass bongs. For the price point that bamboo bongs can provide to the smoking accessories market, you're not going to find a glass bong that is as durable and cheap as bamboo. The functionality, durability, and cost effectiveness of the product makes bamboo bongs stand out amongst glass bongs.
Bamboo has been used as a building material in Japan for centuries. When the strength from the bamboo is crafted into a Terratokes bamboo bong, it creates an experience that is not only memorable but adds a touch of nature to something you’ve been doing for years. The beautiful grain that bamboo possess adds a dimension to the aesthetic you can’t find elsewhere. The Nodes that naturally help the bamboo grow, segment the different air chambers. Glass bongs all have the same look. Bamboo stands out amongst companies that use generic glass. You would have to pay thousands of dollars to get a customized glass bong that would be accented with different colors. Embracing the simplicity of bamboo will not only save you money when shopping for a cheap bamboo bong, but it also connects you back to nature in a mental and physical way.
Bamboo bongs provide a budget-friendly price without compromising on quality. When you purchase a bamboo bong, it is a piece that you will have in your collection for years. You never have to worry about the bamboo bong shattering or breaking. The other components of the bong (the downstem and bowl piece) are also made out of bamboo so you can be positive that when you’re out enjoying nature or relaxing at home that you’re not going to break or shatter any component of the bamboo bong. If you were to bring a glass bong on a hike or to the beach, you would be constantly worried about the downstem, bowl, or the bong itself breaking. Replacing glass bongs is expensive. Glass easily breaks when you drop it from a table or if it's in your hand while you’re walking. Glass can also easily break when you’re cleaning with hot water. Bamboo can withstand 250 degrees before it starts burning and has a tensile strength of 28,000 per square inch. Unless you're an elephant or a dragon, you don't have to worry about accidentally breaking your bamboo bong.
Constantly buying products from glass bong companies goes against any eco-friendly values that you might have. Factories that recycle and process glass emit 86 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year. A single bamboo plant can produce up to 10 liters of fresh oxygen per day. When you purchase a bamboo bong not only are you helping promote the growth of bamboo, you won't have to be constantly buying glass products from companies that add to the 86 million tons of Co2 that are emitted from producing glass each year. Bamboo bongs are always going to be more cost effective, eco friendly, and provide a unique smoking experience. The aesthetic appeal will always stand out when comparing bamboo bongs to glass bongs. If you’re looking for a bong that is practical but also provides a high quality experience, consider buying a bamboo bong over glass.
