Why Use a Portable Bong

While there are many reasons that one may look for a portable bong, the best reason is that you can take your bong anywhere! There’s a large range of bong types on the market, such as bamboo, glass, acrylic, silicone, and gravity bongs, so at times it can be difficult to determine which type of bong will be both functional and portable. And while each type of bong offers a different array of benefits, bamboo, and glass tend to be the most commonly revered materials for bongs. As a convenient and discreet option for consuming dry herbs, bongs that are advertised as portable are typically designed to be compact, easy to transport, and often come with other features that makes them user-friendly on the go.

Types of Portable Bongs

Some of the most common types of portable bongs are mini glass bongs, silicone bongs, bamboo bongs, bubbler bongs, and collapsible bongs.

While they are just as breakable as any other glass bong, for those who prefer to smoke from glass, a mini glass bong with a carrying case is a popular choice due to its compact size. Mini glass bongs are typically available in a wide variety of designs and styles, but it’s best to keep an eye out for thick glass if you opt for this option. Silicone bongs are known for their durability and portability, as they are easy to collapse, unbreakable, and sometimes even dishwasher safe. More specifically, collapsible bongs are typically made from silicone but are designed specifically to be able to able to fit in a pocket. Bubbler bongs, a type of bong that combines the portability of a pipe with the water filtration of a bong, are another affordable and portable option for on-the-go.

Notorious for their durability and resilience to harsh elements, bamboo can withstand the test of time like no other naturally grown material.

The biggest advantage that bamboo water bongs have over glass bongs is their eco-friendliness. Bamboo is known for its exponential growth, making it a very renewable raw commodity. Unlike glass companies that emit 86 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year, bamboo can be harvested without any long-term degradation to the environment. Choosing a bamboo water bong over conventional consumption devices is an impactful step towards an eco-centric lifestyle.
