Whether you’re a beginner or you’re a veteran in the ways of the bong, there are a lot of things you need to remember when choosing your next bong. Each bong presents a different set of advantages based on the material it’s made of, the potential for customization and what herbs you’re looking to smoke in them.

Bongs have come a long way from the typical glass bongs and you can find bongs made out of acrylic, silicone or ceramics among others. Then there are classifications in designs based on whether you’re looking to smoke herbs or concentrates for the best possible smoking experiences. So, when you set out to buy your next bong, you might want to ask yourself the following questions to help you pick out the right bong.

1. What Are You Looking To Smoke?

When you’re trying to smoke herbs like tobacco or weed, you need a larger neck that extends at 45 degrees to the bong itself. The larger stem can accommodate a greater amount of herbs and generate the smoke required for a good hit. However, if you’re going to smoke legal concentrates, you will need a nail and a stem that is perpendicular stem.

For those who’re looking to smoke both concentrates and herbs, then a medium sized bong ought to do the trick. These can be modified to help you switch out herbs for concentrates or the other way around.

2. How important is Percolation For You?

This is a trick question, percolation is very important for anyone who chooses to vape.  The water in the bong can filter out impurities from the smoke and cool it down a bit so that the hit doesn’t irritate your throat and goes down smoothly.

There are many types of percolator designs and although these are a necessary part of all bongs, there’s a lot to be said for the aesthetics of a cool percolator design.

3. Glass or Other Materials?

Glass is the common material used for bongs.  However, these are also on the pricey end. If you’re restricted by your finances, then you might want to consider ceramic, plastic or acrylic bongs instead. Each of these offer the same experience,  bamboo bongs are usually more durable and plastic, glass or acrylic bongs can help tell if the water needs to be changed or not.
