Bowls are essential bong accessories, how are you gonna' light a bowl without a bowl? You can't, don't be so ridiculous!
Whether you're looking to purchase a bowl for your homemade bong, broke the one that came with your bongs or just want to buy some spares or even a larger one for those huge hits, you've come to the right place.
Choosing the right bong bowl can significantly impact your smoking experience. With various shapes, sizes, and materials available, selecting the perfect bowl can be overwhelming. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you make an informed decision.
First, consider the material of the bowl. Glass bong bowls are a popular choice due to their clean taste and aesthetic appeal. They come in various shapes and colors, allowing you to personalize your bong. Metal bong bowls, on the other hand, are known for their durability and heat resistance, making them a practical option for those who want a long-lasting bowl.
Next, think about the size of the bowl. If you prefer larger hits, opt for a bigger bowl that can hold more herbs. This is ideal for experienced users who enjoy a more intense smoking experience. Conversely, smaller bowls are perfect for those who want to control their intake and enjoy shorter, milder sessions. Having a variety of bowl sizes on hand can give you the flexibility to choose the type of hit you want on any given day.
The shape of the bowl also plays a role in your smoking experience. Some bowls are designed with built-in screens to prevent ash and debris from entering your bong, while others have lifter handles for easy removal. Consider what features are most important to you and choose a bowl that meets those needs.
Finally, ensure that the bowl you choose is compatible with your bong. Check the joint size and type (male or female) to make sure it fits perfectly. Most bongs use either 14.5mm or 18.8mm joint sizes, so double-check your bong’s specifications before making a purchase.
By taking these factors into account, you can find the right bong bowl that enhances your smoking experience and suits your personal preferences. Happy smoking!
There are a few different types of bong bowls availablem crafted from different materials such as glass and metal (but more commonly glass), so check out the list below to make sure you buy the right bowl for your water pipe. Each one will serve a different function,
Bong bowls come in different shapes and sizes, with various designs and materials. For example, glass bowls can feature distinct shapes like a glass-blown snake or a skull, and may include functional features like handles that enhance usability.
When considering the size of the bowl, it's important to select the right new bowl to enhance your smoking experience.
Additionally, there is a variety of replacement bong bowls available, which can significantly enhance functionality and personalization.
As the name suggests, these handy bowls have a built-in handle to help you lift the bowl out of your glass bong once you're ready to clear the hit from the bong. Very handy and ergonomic.
These types of bowls don't need any added gauze or screens because they have one built in, this is incredibly convenient because it eliminates the need for the constant purchasing of screens and gauze.
If it ain't broken, don't fix it. Sometimes all you need is a straight-up regular bowl to get your bong on. Glass bowls are particularly popular due to their transparency and ease of cleaning. It's difficult to really define what could be considered a standard bong bowl considering the countless shapes, colours and sizes that are available out there, but they are all essentially designed to do the same job.
To get the best smoking experience possible from your glass bong you should consider which size bong bowls work best for you. Selecting the correct size bowl is crucial for different types of bongs, with standard sizes typically being 14mm and 18mm. This ensures compatibility and functionality. If you're an experienced bongs user and have an arsenal of glass bongs and accessories then having a large bowl will be a treat for you, it will allow you to enjoy larger hits because of the larger space in the bowl which of course will hold more herbs.
Newer users or smokers who prefer not to get such a strong effect from their herbs will prefer smaller bong bowls because the hits won't be as long or strong.
Personally, we'd recommend collecting a variety of bong bowls so that you can pick and choose the kind of hit you want on a daily basis, it's always better to have a choice!
Getting the right ground joint (or gauge) bowl is very important because it needs to be compatible with your drop pipe to fit into your bowl. If you have a 14.5mm drop pipe then you'll need a 14.5mm bowl and vice versa. You'll also need to choose the correct sex gauge too, so if you have a 14.5mm female drop pipe, you'll need a 14.5mm male bong bowl; pretty simple.
The ground joint size is the size of the frosted part of your bong where it connects to the drop pipe or downstem, in other words, the 'gauge'. The measurement is taken from the diameter of the gauge, most bowls are available in 14.5mm or 18.8mm.
Not only is the ground joint important for different fits, but it'll also determine how much air can be pulled through the bong. A bong or bowl with a 14.5mm gauge will be quite tight and more suitable for beginners, whereas if it has an 18.8mm gauge it'll be much more open because more air can fit through with each pull and therefore be more suitable to experienced users, although, don't over think it, either size gauge is suitable for any bong smoker practically.
