You can buy a new bong to add to what you already have, to replace an old or broke one or pick your first bong. Whatever your reason, you need to get the most value for what you pick. You also want a bong that suits your lifestyle. Think about the products you will be putting in your bong before making a choice.
Whether you will be smoking legal dry herbs or legal concentrates, water pipes will be ideal. Even so, the water pipes come in different types and it is the product you will be using that should guide you in making the decision. For dry legal herbs as well as tobacco, there will be a need for a bowl in the bong which means you need to pick something that has a larger stem. It should be attached at a 90 degree or 45-degree angle.
If you plan to use legal concentrates on your bong, remember to have it at 90 degrees because you will have to use a nail. You can use both products in one bong though. Pick a small to medium sized-glass bong if you are not sure of what you will be using. When it has a quartz banger attachment, switching from product to product will not be difficult.
Pick a bong that comes with a percolator as well. A percolator plays an important role when it comes to diffusing smoke. Combustion happens when dry substances are burned in the bong and it is harmful to your health. Percolators filter unwanted toxins which are a result of the combustion so that you do not inhale a lot of these byproducts. Also, it helps in cooling down the smoke. This is crucial so that your lungs gets a product that is not just smooth but also cleaner. You can pick a bong with a built-in diffuser or buy one without and get the percolator as an accessory.
When shopping for a bong, remember that its size matters a lot. Let your usage objective guide you in picking the ideal size. Ask yourself whether it will be the main bong or you will be using it when you are going outdoors. Smaller pipes are ideal for traveling. If you want the main bong you use at home, pick a big one. When you are using a larger bong, you will find it easy to make modifications and even for percolation.
Take into account your lung capacity too when selecting a bong. If you are a newbie, your puffs will be smaller which means a smaller size is ideal.
