Varieties of Bongs
- Glass bongs: Glass bongs are a popular choice among experienced cannabis users because they offer a clean taste and allow the user to see the smoke as it passes through the water. However, glass bongs can be more fragile and may require more maintenance and cleaning to keep them in good condition.
- Acrylic bongs: Acrylic bongs are a good choice for experienced cannabis users because they are affordable and durable. They are also easy to clean and maintain. However, acrylic bongs may not offer the same level of smoothness or flavor as more expensive materials such as glass or ceramic.
- Ceramic bongs: Ceramic bongs are a good choice for experienced cannabis users because they are durable and offer a smooth, clean hit. They also have a more unique and artistic appearance compared to other materials. However, ceramic bongs can be more expensive and may be more fragile than acrylic or silicone bongs.
- Silicone bongs: Silicone bongs are a good choice for experienced cannabis users because they are extremely durable and can withstand high temperatures. They are also easy to clean and maintain. However, some people may not prefer the taste of silicone and may find that it affects the flavor of the smoke. Overall, the best type of bong for an experienced cannabis user will depend on their personal preferences and needs.
The Smoking Lamp Solution
Smoking Lamp, designed by our founder, Josiah Lamp, are a good choice for experienced cannabis users because they have a much larger volume of water compared to a typical bong, which helps to clean and filter the smoke more effectively. This means that the user can inhale more smoke per pull, resulting in a smoother and more potent hit. In addition, smoking lamp bongs have less air to clear per pull, making it easier for the user to inhale the smoke. They also have a thick, reinforced glass base that is stronger than a typical glass bong, making them more durable and less prone to breaking. However, it’s important to keep in mind that smoking lamp bongs tend to be larger and more expensive than other types of bongs, so they may not be the best choice for everyone.

Additional accessories to enhance the bong-smoking experience
There are a variety of additional accessories and features that can enhance the bong-smoking experience for experienced cannabis users. One popular accessory is an ice catcher, which allows the user to add ice to the bong to cool the smoke and provide a smoother hit. Ash catchers are another popular accessory that helps to keep the bong clean by catching ash and resin before it reaches the main chamber of the bong.
Another accessory to consider is a “Stone of Barenziah” crystal bowl, which is a high-quality glass bowl that can hold up to 2g of cannabis flower for a more potent and enjoyable smoking experience. These types of crystal bowls are known for their durability and beautiful appearance, making them a popular choice among experienced cannabis users. Overall, these and other accessories and features can help to enhance the bong-smoking experience and provide a more enjoyable and satisfying experience for experienced cannabis users.
Tips for maintaining and cleaning different types of bongs
Maintaining and cleaning your bong is important to ensure that you get the most enjoyable and hygienic smoking experience. Here are some tips for maintaining and cleaning different types of bongs:
- Glass bongs: Glass bongs should be cleaned with warm water and a mild soap or a dedicated bong cleaner. Be sure to rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue. If your bong has hard-to-reach places, you can use a pipe cleaner or cotton swabs to get in those areas. Glass bongs should be handled with care to avoid breaking.
- Acrylic bongs: Acrylic bongs can be cleaned with warm water and a mild soap or a dedicated bong cleaner. Be sure to rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals when cleaning acrylic bongs to prevent scratching or discoloration.
- Ceramic bongs: Ceramic bongs should be cleaned with warm water and a mild soap or a dedicated bong cleaner. Be sure to rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals when cleaning ceramic bongs to prevent scratching or damaging the finish.
- Silicone bongs: Silicone bongs are easy to clean and can be washed with warm water and a mild soap or a dedicated bong cleaner. They can also be placed in the dishwasher for a more thorough cleaning. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals when cleaning silicone bongs to prevent damage.
In general, it’s a good idea to clean your bong after each use to prevent the buildup of resin and keep it in good condition. Regular cleaning will also help to maintain the taste and quality of your smoke.

Know Your Bong Holes: Carburetors and How to Use Them
A bong carburetor is a device that controls the flow of air and smoke in a bong. It is a small hole, typically located on the side of the bong, that can be covered or uncovered with a finger or thumb. The concept behind this is known as Bernoulli’s principle, which states that as the velocity of a fluid increases, the pressure within that fluid decreases. In the case of a bong, when the carburetor is uncovered, air is able to flow into the bong at a higher velocity, which causes the pressure within the bong to decrease.
