Introduction

With proper care and attention, you can enjoy your bamboo bong for many years. Whether you’re a seasoned smoker or new to the realm of bamboo bongs, here are some effective tips for keeping your bamboo consumption device in top condition.

‍

Establish a Cleaning Schedule

Set a regular cleaning schedule and stick to it. If you only clean your bong once a week you could be susceptible to resin build up that could affect the function of your bowl and downstem. Cleaning 2-3 times a week is a good number to refer to, depending on how much you consume on a daily basis. To ensure that you have a consistently clean smoking experience, you can refer back to the blog page on Terratokes.com, where a blog about why using Isopropyl Alcohol is an effective and affordable way to clean your bamboo bong.

Store Properly

Proper storage is essential for keeping your bamboo bong clean and in good condition over the long term. Store your bong in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity. Avoid leaving your bong exposed to extreme temperatures or environmental factors that could cause damage or discoloration. If you’re spending an extended period of time outdoors with your Bamboo bong, always make sure that even if you don't have your Terratokes carrying case that you’re using some kind of storage device to shield it from the elements. If you’re skiing or snowboarding make sure that you don't leave your bong in the snow for long periods of time. The cold temperatures and moisture could cause damage to the sheath of the bamboo.

Handle with Care

Bamboo is a material that requires gentle handling to avoid damage. Bamboo is admired for its ability to withstand as much pressure as steel and its flexibility. To guarantee that your bamboo bong lasts for as long as possible, make sure that when you're using it to consume or clean it in the sink that you’re handling it with care.

Educate Yourself

Take time to educate yourself about proper bamboo handling and maintenance. Staying informed about the latest cleaning products and methods to make sure that you’re giving the bong the care that it deserves. Knowing the exact kind of bamboo species that you have will depend on the type of Terratokes Bamboo bong that you have purchased. Figure out if the environment that you live in is a safe place to keep your bamboo exposed to the elements. The Terratokes wooden carrying case that came with the purchase of an Izumo is the perfect place to protect your bamboo from extremely cold to scorching temperatures.

Perform Regular Inspections

Make it a habit to do regular inspections of your bamboo bong to ensure that there are no signs of damage or wear. Always look for cracks, chips, or loose fittings on the base, bowl, or downstem so that you can indicate the need for repairs or replacement parts. Addressing any issues promptly will help prevent further damage and prolong life of the bamboo. You have a 2 year warranty if you purchased the Izumo and when you purchase the new Katana you will get a 10 year warranty. You have no reason to believe that you can’t replace a broken part of your Terratokes bamboo bong.
