Types of Bongs

The types of bongs available are increasing. Bamboo Bongs, silicone bongs, honeycomb bongs, beaker tubes, round base bongs, and acrylic bongs are among some of the most common types. When deciding what type of bong is best for you, it’s necessary to consider when you plan to use the bong. If you prefer a unique glass bong that can be cleaned to near perfection or a honeycomb percolator bong, you may opt for a glass bong. If you prefer a certain base style on your bong—which may determine how much water your bong uses—you may determine which bong is best for you that way.

If you’re an active person who likes to smoke outside, you may want to consider opting for a bamboo bong. They’re unbreakable, eco-friendly, and extremely durable. For these reasons, bamboo bongs can outlive the lifespan of glass and acrylic pieces. Bamboo bongs allow the natural aged, oaky flavor of the bamboo to influence the dry herb smoking experience in a pleasant way.

Achieving a Smooth Hit

Achieving a smooth hit is something we all seek. Bongs can be harsh on the respiratory system, and especially dry smoke will be even harsher on the throat and lungs. Percolators allow the smoke within the bong to get broken up thus increasing the humidity. Most would agree that this can make dry herb smoke feel less harsh.

Achieving a smooth hit also requires a bong to have good airflow. Proper airflow will ensure that smoke moves at an accurate rate from the bowl, to the water, and then up the chamber. However, if your bong has too little airflow, it may be difficult to pull. The ideal bong will allow for balanced airflow that will result in a smooth and pleasant hit.

Bamboo Bongs are the Smoothest Hitting Type of Bong

Bamboo Bongs are one of, if not the smoothest hitting type of bong. If you’re looking for an earthy, unique, and portable bong, a bamboo bong is the best option. Bamboo bongs tend to develop their own distinctly pleasant flavor profiles, making them one of the best bongs on the market. The phenomenon of the distinctive flavor profiles is greatly desired as it exemplifies a characteristic of natural materials.

The craftsmanship process for making bamboo bongs requires the careful selection of bamboo stalks to ensure that a strong stalk is selected. The stalk is then cleaned, treated, heated, and cut to the desired length. The bamboo is hollowed out and elements such as the downstem, bowl piece, and base mount can then be added on. The bamboo bong is then sanded, polished, and waterproofed as it undergoes the finishing touches.

The labor of love that goes into making bamboo bongs means that due to their durability and quality, bamboo bongs offer a smooth hit with optimal airflow. Bamboo bongs that come with an ice catcher, such as the Katana, will allow the smoke to cool down even more in the chamber and will thus offer a smoother and more enjoyable hit.
