Know More About Different Types of Smoking Pipes

Stoners cannot imagine their smoking session without a glass pipe. Smoking pipes are available in different materials, shapes and sizes. Smokers can choose pipes according to their preference, needs and budget. In this article we will learn about different types of smoking pipes and their advantages.

Beaker Bongs

A classic beaker bong or glass water pipe is a smoking staple because of its great design. Because of its wide bottom, it is very stable, so the chances of it getting tipped over are less.  Because of the heavy bottom, beaker bongs can be pretty tall which means smokers can enjoy big, cool hits. Additional accessories, such as percolators and ash catchers, can be added to these smoking pipes. A beaker bong can have a diffused down stem which filters the smoke. In many beaker bongs, ice notches are attached, which makes the smoke cooler before the hit gets to the smoker.

Straight Tube or Cylinder Bong

A cylinder bong is the most common type of water pipe. It is simple in shape and is pretty inexpensive. To make a cylinder bong fancier, smokers can add ice catchers and percolators to them. Most cylinder bongs have a down stem in them, but they can also be stemless.

Round Base Bong

The round base bong has a round bottom and a flat base. The water chamber present in the round base bong makes every smoke cooler and cleaner. Like other smoking pipes, round bongs can also have accessories such as ice catchers and percolators.

Tree Percolator Bong

When you are looking for a bong with high level of percolation, tree percolator bongs are the best choice. In this bong, there is a glass bulb at the top connecting the arms that gives the impression of tree limbs. The more limbs there are, the better the filtration. Tree percolators are not liked by many smokers because they are hard to clean. Tree percolators can easily get damaged if they are made of cheap glass.

Multi-Chamber Bong

 Multi-chamber bongs consist of two or more percolators. Percolators are small glass components that trap water and filter the smoke produced after herb is combusted. Due to the presence of percolators, the smoke gets another level of filtration, thus making every hit smoother and cleaner.

Shower head Percolator Bong

Among percolator bongs, the shower head percolator bong is the second-most popular water pipe. The shower head percolator bong has a round chamber at the bottom. There are many slits in the chamber which creates bubbles and smoke is filtered.

Shopping for a bong can be overwhelming unless you know about them. Among the most popular are glass bongs because glass does not change the taste of the smoke and is easy to clean. Glass also gives an artistic look to a bong. For more information visit here: Tank Glass
