Portable Bongs

Finding a water bong that is both portable and highly functional can be a challenge. With so many options on the market, it’s difficult to determine which materials make the best portable water bongs. Glass, bamboo, acrylic, silicone, ceramic, water bottles, and plastic can all be used to make water bongs, however, bamboo stands out from the rest as a portable, eco-friendly, and unbreakable water bong option. While glass may be a commonly preferred option due to its cooling properties and aesthetic appeal, making glass bongs portable requires a padded carrying case as well as extra care when handling. When looking for a portable bong, you should first consider what type of experience you're looking for in a bong as well as what your price point is.

Bamboo Bongs are Portable

If you’re looking for a premium bong, look no further than bamboo bongs. Bamboo bongs are earthy, stylish, and durable. A bamboo water bong can offer an array of benefits beyond its aesthetic nature, including outliving most glass bongs. One of the most notable traits of bamboo bongs is their lightweight feel which is all due to the quality craftsmanship required to make a bamboo bong. 

‍

Bamboo bongs have a deep-rooted tradition in Thai and Vietnamese cultures and thus they also play an integral role in collective bonding. They’ve held a great deal of cultural significance for centuries, as bamboo is one of the sources best utilized for building a durable pipe-like structure.

‍

Bamboo bongs are not only lightweight, they are unbreakable. The craftsmanship involved in making a bamboo bong includes selecting the best and strongest piece of bamboo. For this reason, bamboo bongs can outlive glass bongs due to the strength and longevity of bamboo stalks. Unlike most other bongs, bamboo bongs also tend to develop a distinctive and earthy flavor profile. Many people enjoy this experience in the same way that they’d enjoy an aged wood pipe. This flavor enhances the smoking experience and is just one of many reasons why bamboo bongs are a premier type of portable water bong.

Acrylic & Silicone as Portable Options

Acrylic and silicone water bongs can also make decent portable water bong options. While the craftsmanship of acrylic and silicone bongs may not match that of a Katana bamboo bong, acrylic and silicone are durable materials that can be utilized to make both a customizable and durable bong.

Acrylic bongs are typically light and stiff, but they likely won’t offer the same cooling effects that a glass or bamboo bong would. As a portable alternative to glass bongs, silicone bongs can withstand drops and thus make for an ideal packable and foldable bong for on-the-go. While not as smooth and as functional as bamboo bongs, silicone bongs are typically dishwasher-safe and foldable so they offer an ideal option for someone who needs to pack their water bong up small. Acrylic and silicone bongs are not only cost-effective but may enjoy the patterns and colors that they come in, their typical metal bowl piece and downstem, and the ability to toss around their bong worry-free.
