Various Types of Bongs
Bongs are long pipes made for smoking herbs and occasionally tobacco and its derivatives. The desired result is achieved by using water to cool the smoke before the user inhales it. Bongs are believed to produce a smoother, more refined smoke for the user. This smooth smoke can reduce the possible burning of the interior of the mouth as well as the airways, both of which are associated with conventional smoking methods.
There are various types of bongs. The most popular type is the glass bong. Unlike the plastic bongs that are recommended for beginners, glass bongs appear classier although a glass bong user needs to blow in with much greater lung power compared to when he is using plastic bongs. Other advantages of glass bongs include durability and portability.
Bucket bongs or bucket rippers are another type of bong. These are simple bongs and can be home made. Home made bucket bongs are traditionally made by filling a medium sized bucket with water and attaching pipes to it. Commercial simple bongs sold in the market are normally patterned after the design of the bucket bong. These bongs which are manufactured from synthetic materials still have the two original distinct characteristics of bucket bongs – a shotgun effect that shoots so much smoke into the airways and lungs using ultra fast speed, plus a strong vacuum pulling effect that lets the user utilise the equipment without the usual lung strain.
The bubbler is a small-sized bong with the bowl located at its topmost part while the stem is placed inside. You may use only one hand when handling it. Most users think it is better than the regular pipe because it is conveniently small.
The Roor bong is another type and is the most expensive of all with some selling for as much as £270. The main difference between Roor bongs and all the other types is its stability; luxury and its special ability to produce the best and nicest smoke. Roor bongs are made from glass and are usually provided with a Roor glass gauze. Despite their high cost and large size, Roor bongs possess natural durability and the capacity to produce a large volume of the finest smoke.
