Determine your Bong Type
The different types of bongs available include the vast range of styles and sizes you can choose from. If you’re looking for a discreet, on-the-go bong, then a smaller bubbler would be perfect for you. Howeve, if you’re looking to get the biggest bang for your buck, then buying a larger bong will give you one of the highest-class of smoking experiences.

Yet for many, the smoking experience of a more complex bong is more than worth it.
Selecting Materials and Build Quality
There’s a vast variety of bong types out there to choose from, each made from different materials that affect the price and smoking experience. Some common materials you’ll find in bong manufacturing include glass, acrylic, ceramic, silicone, metal, and plastic. Your choice in material may greatly affect the cost and durability. For example, glass is considered the standard go-to for the makeup of a bong, giving you a clean taste in smoking, but also being fragile to potential accidents. Acrylic on the other hand is a much more durable material, but some smokers find the inherent plastic taste that comes with it to be displeasing. It’s important to take into consideration what you are trying to get out of your bong when choosing one.

Whether it’s a small, medium, or large bong, each one has their own benefits that fit the preferences of any type of smoker.
