Now more than ever, smokers have a wide array of smoking equipment at their disposal. And, while most of us get started with crumpled joints and cheap bongs, there comes a time to upgrade.

That’s why here we’ll be giving you 7 reasons why you should buy a high-quality bong. We’ll show you the main benefits, so you can see why a high-quality bong is the best investment you can make.

Let’s get started.

1. Can seamlessly fit in with your aesthetic

Whereas joints and cheap bongs are impersonal by design, high-quality bongs are made with specific designs for specific people.

A good bong isn’t just a smoking accessory, it’s artwork that can double as decor and seamlessly fit within your aesthetic. You can find bongs with beautiful artwork, made from multiple styles and in multiple colors.

And, since good bongs aren’t made to appeal to as many people as possible, you can find artistically made bongs made for smaller niches, like this unique Bottle Water Pipe with Rooster Percolator, or this 50/5 Limited Edition Glass Bubble Base Bong by Jerome Baker.

2. High-quality builds

Silicone bongs or acrylic bongs are good for the price, or if you’re looking to travel with them, but the experience can’t ever compare to the purity of glass bongs.

High-quality bongs are made out of borosilicate glass. This is a special kind of glass made of silica and boron trioxide. This means that borosilicate glass is more durable and heat-resistant than normal glass, which is why it’s used in lab equipment.

If it’s pure enough for a lab, it’s definitely pure enough for us.

3. Delicious and flavorful rips

If you’re smoking high-quality herbs, you’ll want to taste them. And there’s no better way of tasting the smoke than with a high-quality bong.

The purity of the smoke isn’t just from the borosilicate glass we’ve mentioned, it’s also about the added filtration. High-quality bongs incorporate percolators for added water filtration, ice catchers, and an overall larger design, so the smoke can cool off before hitting your mouth.

This often translates to thicker, colder clouds, which are better tasting and offer a more complete flavor profile to your tongue. You just can’t get that flavor with non-glass alternatives.

4. Better for measuring your doses

Joints and cigarettes aren’t a great way of measuring what you consume. It’s easy to underestimate how much you’re consuming unless you’re physically weighing each piece before and after smoking.

Bongs, on the other hand, offer you a bit more control. All you need is to fill up your bowl and weigh the contents. Now you know exactly how much you’re consuming every time you pack your bowl, and all you need to do is to keep track of how many bowls you’ve smoked.

You can even get small taster bowls when you want to smoke one hit, or even have multiple bowls with multiple capacities to better control and measure your doses.

5. Better for effective smoke sessions

When you burn a joint, the trail of smoke it leaves behind is the herb that you’re not consuming. Plus, multiple active ingredients in different herbs can be burnt away by the heat of the smoke before they have the chance to get to your lungs.

Bongs allow you to immediately cool down the smoke to preserve its active ingredients through powerful percolation systems. And, since you can turn the bowl “off” in between hits, you’re not wasting as much herb.

6. Offer higher resale value

Let’s face it, no one wants to buy our old acrylic or silicone pieces. And, why would they? After all, they cannot be kept as pure as glass.

High-quality bongs, on the other hand, are usually made by well-known brands. Their construction allows them to last virtually forever if you keep care of them, so it’s easy to sell a good bong that looks as clean and new as the day it was bought.

If you ever want to sell your bong, you’ll likely find a buyer that will pay close to what you paid first. And, who knows? Maybe you can buy a good bong at a cheaper price, restore it, and sell it at a profit!

7. Enhanced smoking experiences

A high-quality bong will give you the best smoking experience you’ve ever had. It engages your senses through the sound and vibration of the smoke filtration, which is satisfying to watch by itself.

The filtration not only allows for cool and flavorful hits, but it also removes the harshness of the hits, getting you a smooth and delicious smoking experience.

When smoking aromatic materials, there’s no better way to immediately fill the room in cool smoke than with a good bong.

Upgrading your bong

As we’ve seen, there’s no better way to get the most out of your dry herbs and improve your smoking experience as a good bong.
