A glass bong is a device that allows you to smoke your favorite herb or tobacco in a filtered and cooled way. Glass bongs are made of high-quality borosilicate glass that can withstand high temperatures and offer a transparent and elegant look. Glass bongs come in various shapes, sizes, and designs, with different features and accessories that can enhance your smoking experience. Whether you are smoking alone or with friends, there are many fun and creative ways to use a glass bong. Here are some of them:
Try different percolators
A percolator is a part of a glass bong that creates bubbles and diffuses the smoke, making it smoother and cooler. There are many types of percolators, such as tree, showerhead, honeycomb, turbine, spiral, matrix, and more. Each percolator has its own advantages and disadvantages, such as the amount of drag, noise, splashback, and cleaning difficulty. You can experiment with different percolators to find the one that suits your preference and style. Some glass bongs have multiple percolators for extra filtration and cooling, while others have removable downstems that allow you to switch between different percolators.
Add ice or other liquids
Another way to cool down your smoke is to add ice cubes to the ice catcher or ice pinch of your glass bong. Ice catchers are indents in the neck of the bong that hold the ice above the water level, preventing it from melting into the water. Ice pinches are small notches in the glass that prevent the ice from falling into the water chamber. Adding ice to your glass bong will make your hits even more refreshing and smooth. You can also try adding other liquids instead of water to your glass bong, such as juice, tea, soda, or alcohol. However, be careful not to use liquids that are too acidic, sugary, or sticky, as they can damage your glass bong or make it harder to clean.
Use different bowls or nails
A bowl is the part of a glass bong where you put your herb or tobacco before lighting it up. A nail is the part of a glass bong where you put your concentrate or wax before heating it up with a torch. Depending on what you want to smoke, you can use different bowls or nails to fit your needs. Some glass bongs have interchangeable bowls and nails that allow you to switch between dry herbs and concentrates easily. You can also use different materials for your bowls or nails, such as glass, ceramic, quartz, titanium, or silicone. Each material has its own pros and cons, such as heat retention, durability, flavor, and cost.
Decorate your glass bong
A glass bong is not only a functional device but also a piece of art. You can decorate your glass bong with stickers, decals, paint, glitter, beads, or anything else that expresses your personality and style. You can also buy glass bongs that already have beautiful designs and colors on them, such as fumed glass, dichroic glass, glow-in-the-dark glass, or themed glass. Some glass bongs even have artistic features such as sculptures, figurines, logos, or patterns on them.
Play games with your glass bong
If you are smoking with friends, you can make it more fun and exciting by playing games with your glass bong. For example, you can play “bong pong”, which is similar to beer pong but with a glass bong instead of cups. You can also play “spin the bottle”, where you spin a bottle on a table and whoever it points to has to take a hit from the glass bong. You can also play “truth or dare”, where you ask each other questions or challenge each other to do something after taking a hit from the glass bong.
Conclusion
A glass bong is a great way to enjoy your herb or tobacco in a smooth and cool way. There are many fun and creative ways to use a glass bong with friends or alone, such as trying different percolators, adding ice or other liquids, using different bowls or nails, decorating your glass bong, or playing games with your glass bong. However you choose to use your glass bong, always remember to smoke responsibly, clean your glass bong regularly, and never mention cannabis.
