GATOR BONGS

Upgrade your bong smoking experience with a gator bong from My Bong Shop. Find the perfect match for your preferences in our selection, featuring the iconic bottle and hose design, available in various colours and made with quality materials.

What are gator bongs?

Gator bongs were originally crafted from a plastic bottle and a piece of garden hose. These bongs are a staple in Australian smoking culture because the DIY approach reflects the Australian way of improvising with what’s available. However, the traditional gator bongs come with a less-than-ideal smoking experience and health concerns from using plastic.

That's where the new type of gator bongs comes in. At My Bong Shop, you'll find gator bongs that are a big step up from the old plastic and hose setup. These bongs are made from high-quality materials, getting rid of the plastic for a better smoke.

What does Gatorbeug mean?

Gatorbeug is slang for a homemade “beug” or bong that’s usually made out of a plastic drink bottle and a piece of hose. The idea of this classic part of Aussie smoking culture is all about being resourceful and coming up with a quick solution for a smoke.

But now, the Gatorbeug has also come to stand for a type of beug you can buy that's a lot better than the homemade version. These new bongs keep the original DIY design alive but are made from durable materials like Pyrex glass instead of plastic, making them safer and giving a better taste.

What are the unique features of a gator bong?

The range of gator bongs at My Bong Shop is a step up from your average bongs. With features that enhance durability, ease of use and smoking efficiency, these bongs are designed to upgrade your session.

Here's what sets them apart:

• Made from Pyrex glass: Durability and heat resistance are top-notch, thanks to the Pyrex glass construction. This means gator bongs can withstand the heat and are less likely to break.
• Downstem: The downstem is made to filter smoke through the water and cool it down for smoother hits.
• Meal cone piece: The bong has a metal cone piece that's durable, easy to clean and offers a sleek look.
• Metal stem: The metal stem is durable and provides a clear pathway for the smoke so that you can get the most out of your herbs.
• Comfortable mouthpiece: The design of the mouthpiece focuses on comfort, making sure that every hit is smooth and enjoyable.
• Comes in different colours: The bong comes in a range of colours to choose from. Pick a bong that performs well and matches your preference.

What is the best way to remove resin from a gator bong?

Resin buildup can affect the taste and smoothness of your hits over time. That's why regular cleaning of your gator bong is important. Here's how to get your bong clean for a consistently enjoyable bong smoking experience.

• Rinse with hot water: Start by rinsing the gator bong with hot water. This loosens up the resin and makes the cleaning process easier. Be careful with the temperature to avoid any risk of damage.
• Use the right cleaner: Use a cleaning solution that's effective but won't harm the material of the bong. A mix of isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt works well for glass bongs. If your gator bong is made from silicone, stick to solutions that are safe for silicone materials.
• Seal and shake: If you've got caps for your bong, use them to seal the openings. Then, give your bong a good shake with the cleaning solution inside. This helps remove the resin from the inside surfaces.
• Let it sit: After shaking, let the bong sit with the cleaning solution inside for 10-20 minutes. This gives the solution more time to dissolve the stubborn resin.
• Clean the small parts: Disassemble your bong and place the small parts, like the downstream and cone piece, in a plastic bag with the same cleaning solution. These parts need attention, too, as resin can build up in the nooks and crannies.
• Scrub if needed: For tough spots, use a brush or a pipe cleaner. Be gentle to avoid scratching the glass or damaging silicone bongs.
• Rinse thoroughly: Once you're satisfied with the cleaning, rinse everything with hot water again. Make sure all the cleaning solution and loosened resin are washed away.
• Dry and enjoy: Dry your bong completely before using it again. A clean bong means cleaner, smoother hits.

How often should I clean my bong?

It depends on how much you use it. If you're lighting up every day, aim to give your bong a clean at least once a week. Regular bong cleaning prevents resin and tar from building up.

For those who smoke less frequently, cleaning your bong after every few sessions is a good rule of thumb. This way, you keep it from getting grimy and ensure every session is as good as the first. Remember, a clean bong means cleaner hits and a better overall experience, so don't skimp on the scrubbing.
