Yellow Bongs

How are bongs made?

Bongs, also known as water pipes, are typically made of glass and are created through a process called glassblowing. The process begins with a long, thin tube of glass which is heated with a blowtorch or other heat source. The glassblower then shapes the tube into the desired shape, often including a water chamber and a neck for inhaling. Once the basic shape is formed, the glass is allowed to cool and harden before any additional details or embellishments are added.

Some bongs may also be made of other materials such as silicone, plastic, or ceramic, and may be created using different methods such as molding or carving.

How do I choose the right bong for me?

Choosing the right bong can depend on personal preferences and factors such as frequency of use, budget, and desired features. Some factors to consider include the size of the bong, which can affect the smoothness and strength of the hit, and the material, which can affect the durability and taste of the smoke.

Other factors to consider include the design and style, such as percolators or ice catchers, and the brand and price. It may be helpful to research different brands and models, read reviews, and consider trying out different types of bongs before making a purchase. It is also important to purchase from reputable sellers and to ensure that the bong is properly cleaned and maintained.

How does a bong work?

A bong works by filtering smoke through water, which cools the smoke and removes some of the harmful substances. The user ignites the substance in the bowl and inhales through the mouthpiece. The smoke travels down the stem and into the water, where it bubbles up and is inhaled by the user.

What does a percolator do in a bong?

A percolator, or “perc,” in a bong is an additional filtration system that helps to further cool and filter the smoke as it passes through the water. A percolator is usually made up of small holes or slits that break up the smoke into smaller bubbles, increasing the surface area and allowing for more contact with the water.

This process helps to remove more harmful toxins and carcinogens from the smoke, resulting in a smoother and less harsh hit. Different types of percolators can provide different levels of filtration and cooling, and some bongs may feature multiple percolators for even greater filtration.
