Do I need a filter or gauze for my Bong?

Bong filters and gauzes add an extra layer to your mouthpiece to prevent harmful substances such as resin, tar, ash particles, and other contaminants from entering your lungs. Not only do they protect your lungs but they can also extend the lifespan of your bong by stopping the build-up of ash, which could potentially clog up the pipe and require additional cleaning.

What Screens are best for Bongs?

We would recommend Borosilicate glass because this material has a very low thermal expansion, avoiding thermal shock. This is perfect for bongs as they continually heat up and cool down. Standard glass and quartz screens are also good options for bongs.

Why do I need a Pipe Screen?

A screen keeps a lot of unwanted substances such as ash from entering the smoker’s mouth. Even if you are only using a water pipe where ash isn’t a problem, a screen can help to keep the water clean and minimize waste.

Can you smoke a Pipe without a Screen?

Technically yes, but without a screen you are likely to have a poorer smoking experience, risking ash and other particles reaching your mouth and entering your lungs. It is much healthier to use a screen.

How often should I change my Pipe Screen?

Screens, regardless of the material, can overheat if used for a long period of time, eventually getting damaged. In some cases, this can result in toxic materials being released. To avoid this, we would recommend changing your pipe screen every 15 days if you use your smoking pipe on a daily basis.
