The Essential Water Bongs to Add to Your Collection

For the herb enthusiast, a water bong isn’t just another smoking tool – it’s the key to a whole new level of experience. A smooker without a bong is like watching a movie with the sound turned off – you’re just missing out on the full deal. But then, with all the perplexing varieties of water bongs available, how do you pick the one that’s just right for you?

What is the Purpose of a Water Bong?

Before we start talking about different types of bongs, it’s worth getting a handle on what a water bong’s supposed to do. Simply put, it lets you take in smoother, cooler, cleaner hits. The smoke goes through the water first, which makes it mellows it out a bit and filters some of the harsh stuff out. This means each drag is easier to take for your throat and lungs, and you get to appreciate the full flavour of your herb without the dryness and intensity of regular smoke.

What is the Best Water Bong? 

Figuring out which bong is the “best” is hard because everyone’s got their own ideas about what they want from a bong. Some folks want the smoothest hits they can get, others like making big clouds, and then there are those who just need something they can take on the go, or something that can withstand rough handling. Each bong design gives you a unique mix of airflow, cooling, filtration and – let’s be honest – just looks.

Rather than sticking to just one bong and getting bored with it, a lot of smokers end up building up a collection of water bongs. This lets them swap out their experience whenever the mood strikes them. A collection means you can play around with different levels of cooling and filtration, different airflow sensations, and just see what kind of vibe you want to go for each time you have a smoke. 

Here are some bong styles that might be worth checking out as you start (or add to) your collection.

The Beaker Bong

The beaker bong is a classic for a reason. Not only does it have a sturdy base that makes it less likely to tip over, but it’s got this instantly recognisable, old-school look that lots of folks just love. But what you might not expect is that this style is more than just about looks – the big water chamber does a way better job of cooling and filtering the smoke, which gives you hits that are not just smoother, but fuller too.

The beaker bong is great for people who like to take their time over a smoke or like to make bigger rips – the extra volume lets you get more smoke in each pull. Beginners are going to appreciate the stability and ease of use, while more seasoned collectors are going to love how this bong brings both form and function to the table, making it a versatile addition to any collection.

The Straight Bong

If you’re looking to add another piece to your collection, the straight tube bong is a great choice. While the beaker focuses on volume and stability, the straight tube is all about simplicity and precision. Its sleek, tall cylinder design is all about delivering smooth, strong hits with minimal effort – and that means every draw is clean and consistent.

Plus, its ultra-simple build makes it a real breeze to clean and maintain – a big plus for anyone who’s serious about keeping their gear in top condition. And for collectors, the straight tube bong is a no-nonsense option that will sit quietly in your collection without drawing attention away from your more impressive pieces. It’s perfect when you just want a reliable, straightforward smoking experience without a lot of fuss.

The Percolator Bong

The percolator bong is a whole different ball game compared to standard straight tube or beaker bongs. Internal chambers or “percs” that filter and diffuse the smoke through water give you ultra-smooth, cool hits with less harshness – it really elevates the whole smoking experience. So if you’re looking to take things to the next level, this is the bong to go for.

Percolator bongs come in all sorts of styles – tree, honeycomb showerhead, to name a few – each one designed to get the most out of airflow and filtration. They let you have really refined smoking sessions, with the smoke tasting stronger and with minimal irritation. Sure, they’re a might more complicated to clean than some other designs – but the performance and style are well worth it. They’re a top choice among more experienced smokers and collectors who want the best of the best.

The Recycler Bong

Recyclers use a series of interconnected tubes and chambers to keep the smoke circulating as you inhale, giving you a silky smooth, totally splash-free experience that feels totally different from anything else. And that’s because this constantly moving water keeps the smoke fresh and prevents it from getting stale, which means you get to enjoy seriously flavoursome, velvety-smooth hits.

These bongs are a real hit with smokers who love both performance and artistry. The look and design are not only functional but mesmerising to watch in action, making them a total showpiece in any session. While they tend to be more appealing to experienced smokers or concentrate fans, they also have a lot to offer collectors who want a real showstopper that combines innovation, smoothness and style.

Multi-Chamber Bongs

Multi-chamber bongs are the ultimate way to take your filtration to the next level. They’re essentially two or more interconnected water chambers – each provides its own separate water supply. As the smoke travels through multiple sections, it gets filtered and cooled over and over again, giving you some seriously smooth hits from a water pipe.

On top of being more comfortable, that extra filtration also really brings out the flavour by sorting out more of the impurities along the way. This is exactly what smokers who love those silky smooth effects are after, or who enjoy sitting back for a longer, more refined session. They’re also pretty visually impressive. Watching that smoke drift through multiple chambers adds a dynamic, almost lab-like feel to each hit.

While admittedly they can be a bit more of a pain to clean than more straightforward designs, the end result is well worth it. Mullti-chamber bongs have become a real favourite among more experienced smokers who want something that looks and does the business.

Gravity Bongs

If you’re after a real powerhouse of a hit, something that packs a serious punch, a gravity bong is the way to go. Unlike your standard bong, gravity bongs use water and air pressure to suck in those thick, concentrated clouds of smoke. The result is a full-on, intense experience that leaves you feeling like you’ve been hit by a train.

You’ve got two main types – bucket and waterfall gravities. Both work on the same principle of creating that vacuum effect that draws the smoke in by itself, without needing you to force the air out. Which is just one reason why they’re such a hit with experienced smokers, or people who like to mix things up a bit.

Even though they used to be DIY-only from home, you can now get yourself a top-end glass or silicone gravity bong that runs smoother, filters nicer and is just generally a more refined experience all around. And if you’re after something with a bit of personality, some real oomph, gravity bongs fit the bill nicely.
