Modern Bongs

Bongs come in many shapes and sizes, from the simplest and cheapest affairs made from wood or acrylic to the expensive and collectable Roor bongs, the royalty of the bong world.  But not everyone is preoccupied with status and gnawed at by a need to display wealth and success so conspicuously, and where the main concern is a decent hit there is plenty of choice out there.

Small portable bongs are great for the traveller, or for anyone on the go who wants a small, simple device that fits easily into the pocket and can be whipped out at a moment’s notice.

Whatever type of bong you go for it will work in essentially the same way.  Water is used to filter harmful particles out of the smoke given off by burning herbs in the bowl, before it gets to the user’s mouth.  If this sound like a hubble-bubble, that’s right, but the bong is much older than the hookah.  It derives its name from the Thai word for any tubular structure, and was in fact invented in the Far East centuries ago.  The hookah first made its appearance in the Middle East much later, but can still be seen all across the region.

Wood was traditionally used to make bongs, but metal, glass and acrylic are popular alternatives, especially glass as it is easier to clean and doesn’t contaminate the smoke in the way that wood and acrylic do.

The water is frequently laced with aromatic spices to heighten the effect of wellbeing in the user.
