Glass Bongs

WHY CHOOSE GLASS BONGS

Glass bongs made from borosilicate glass at My Bong Shop are popular for good reason. Compared to plastic or silicone, they offer a smoother, cleaner and more reliable way to smoke. They’re easy to maintain, built to last and give you the kind of performance most smokers look for.

If you’re deciding what type of water bong to go with, glass is a solid place to start.

Here’s why more smokers stick with glass:

• Clean flavour: Glass won’t affect the taste of your herbs, so each hit stays clean, crisp and helps deliver smoother hits.
• Cooler hits: Water and features like percs or ice catchers help cool the smoke fast.
• Built to last: Borosilicate glass handles heat and daily use better than cheaper alternatives.
• Simple upkeep: Glass is easy to clean and resistant to smells and residue.
• Flexible setups: Glass bongs are compatible with a wide range of bong cone pieces, downstems and ash catchers.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF GLASS BONGS TO TRY

Glass bongs come in different types, and each one suits a different way of smoking. If you prefer shorter sessions, a mini bong is light, compact and simple to clean. This small bong is ideal if you need a compact option that fits seamlessly into your routine. Try the straight tube bong for a fast, direct pull through a straight neck with minimal drag.

For a bong with a bit more edge, Gatorade bongs are shaped like the classic drink bottle but made from glass, giving you a solid grip and a standout look. A glass beaker bong holds more water and sits steady thanks to its wider base, which helps cool the smoke and adds stability.

You’ll also find glass bongs across our range, featuring bold styles that include cartoon characters, skulls, rainbow colours and glow-in-the-dark finishes.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR BEFORE BUYING A GLASS BONG

Choosing a glass bong depends on how you plan to use it. The size, shape and build all affect how it works and how practical it is to clean and store. A well-made bong should be easy to handle and suit your setup without being a hassle.

Here’s what matters most when you’re deciding what to buy:

• Size and weight: Match the bong to your setup. Smaller bongs are easier to carry and clean, while larger ones often hold more water and can cool the smoke more effectively.
• Base shape: A wider base offers better stability. Glass beaker bongs are a reliable pick if you want something that stays steady on a table or counter.
• Glass thickness: Thicker glass is more resistant to heat and everyday use. It adds weight, which helps with balance and handling.
• Cooling features: Percolators and ice catchers help reduce heat and filter smoke. These features add to the overall functionality without making the bong harder to use.
• Cleaning access: Choose a shape that’s easy to rinse and scrub. Straight designs with fewer parts take less time to clean and maintain.

GLASS VS. PLASTIC BONGS

Glass and plastic bongs each have different strengths, and choosing between them comes down to personal preference. Glass bongs are made from durable borosilicate and often include features like percolators or ice catchers that help with filtration. They’re easy to clean and offer a consistent draw, which can give you smoother hits.

Plastic bongs hold their own when it comes to convenience. They’re light, budget-friendly and hard to break, which makes them a solid option for travel or everyday use. While they don’t include as many cooling features, plastic is a good match if you’re after a durable bong.

HOW TO USE A GLASS BONG

Glass bongs are straightforward and easy to use. Whether you're new to the process or experienced, you'll find it simple. For a smooth smoking session, follow this guide from our experts:

1. Set up your bong: Insert the downstem into the joint and make sure it sits firmly in place. Check that the bowl fits securely on top.
2. Add water: Pour water through the mouthpiece until the bottom of the downstem is fully covered. Leave a bit of space to avoid splashback.
3. Grind your herbs: Break down your herbs using a weed grinder so they burn evenly and allow proper airflow through the bowl.
4. Pack the bowl: Fill the bowl loosely, then press down lightly. It should stay in place without blocking airflow.
5. Light and inhale: Use a jet lighter to heat the bowl as you draw slowly through the mouthpiece. Keep your pull steady and clear the chamber once it’s full.

HOW TO KEEP YOUR BONG CLEAN

Cleaning your bong regularly helps it perform properly and last longer. For best results, use our bong cleaning supplies, designed to break down residue and remove build-up without damaging your bong. They’re easy to use and made for the job.

Here’s how to clean your bong properly from start to finish:

1. Take it apart: Separate each piece, including the bowl and downstem. This gives you full access to every part of the bong.
2. Rinse with hot water: Flush out loose residue with hot water, especially from the downstem and bowl.
3. Scrub the build-up: Use pipe cleaners or cotton swabs to reach narrow areas and remove stuck-on resin.
4. Soak the small parts: Place the bowl and downstem in resealable bags with bong cleaner and coarse salt. Shake gently, or let them soak if there’s heavy build-up.
5. Final rinse and dry: Rinse all pieces thoroughly with clean water. Let everything dry fully before putting your bong back together.
