5 Ways to Choose the Right Bong for You

 

Purchasing a bong for the first time from any of the bong distributors in Ontario can be challenging. There are various styles, percolators, designs, glass thickness. It’s confusing to conclude where to begin. This quick guide will help you narrow your search down so you can smoke in no time.  

Let’s begin with the style or look of the bong that you would prefer. The main types to select from are straight tube, beaker bongs, and recycler as per the supply from smoking accessories distributors in Ontario.  

 

1. Glass Thickness 

 

The glass thickness is quite significant as it decides how long your bong lasts. Naturally, the thicker the better but also consider the environment the bong is going to be in. If it’s going to be safe and stay in only one room, you need not have to worry about thickness as much. If you plan on bringing it with you everywhere or have clumsy friends, try to avail the thickest glass. The thinnest glass begins at 2-3mm then moves up to 3-5mm is your average thickness. Then glass 5-7mm is quite darn thick and hard to break. Select anywhere above 3.5mm glass thickness and you should be fine.  

 

2. Percolators 

 

Percolators are a hot topic according to tobacco distributors in Ontario as there are no clear winners of which one is the best, everyone has a favorite only and sticks with it. There are two things to consider in a percolator the smoothness it offers from filtration and the amount of drag it gives from pulling smoking through the tiny holes. If you are new to bongs and smoke you do not require a percolator but they are nice to have. Do not purchase a bong with too many percolators, it may appear to be a good idea but the drag from all the percolators will be difficult to clear the chamber.  

 

3. Clean Your Bong 

 

You need to consider cleaning your new bong. Eventually, your bong will become dirty and filled with tar and smoke residue all over the glass. If you opt for a simple bong with no percolators, cleaning will be easier. If you select a bong with a percolator with even 2 or 3 of them cleaning will not be so effortless. If you do wish to purchase a bong with percolators, get an ash catcher. It's much simpler to clean an ash catcher rather than your bong.  

 

4. Joint Sizes 

 

Joints are available normally in two common sizes 14mm and 18mm. It isn’t the kind you roll. There are a few other sizes. Try to purchase a bong with the same size joints as this will make your life smoother because if you break a slide or down stem you can mix and match and they will all fit together.  

 

5. Add-ons 

 

Add-ons – purchasing a bong with these are a plus but not required. 

Splashguard– Prevents dirty bong water from getting inside your mouth 

Ice pinch– Holds ice to cool the smoke down 

Ash catcher– Another level of filtration. Catches all of the ash. 

Percolator – Cools the smoke for a less harsh hit. 

These were the few tips to choose the right bong for you. Now, it is up to you, how to select your bong.
