The History of the Bong
The first use of a ‘bong’ can be dated back to 16th century China during the late Ming Dynasty where the use of a water pipe became the most popular method for smoking tobacco. This trend continued through to the Qing Dynasty where the ‘bong’ was traditionally made out of bamboo by the country people, or bronze or brass by the more affluent members of the society.
The word bong is thought to derive from the Thai word ‘buang’ (pronounced boo-wang) which can be defined as a cylindrical wooden tube, generally made from bamboo.
They were introduced to America by the returning Vietnam war soldiers during the 1970’s, and the rest is history!
Nowadays they come in an array of shapes and sizes tailored to suit your personal preference. The design has evolved to include variations, evidence of which can be seen with the assortment of bubblers for sale.
Types of Water Bongs
There are generally 3 different basic size water bongs, those being small, medium and large. The small bongs are anything up to 8″ in size and are convenient in that they are portable and can be used discretely. A medium water bong is around 8 to 14″ in height and is the most popular size. Although not as discrete as the small bongs, they are easier to hold, load and smoke through. A large water bong is anything over 14″ in height and generally used by seasoned smokers due to its size and intensity of the hit.
Water bongs also generally come in 3 basic designs, being the straight tube classic style, angled, or custom designs.
The straight tubed water bong is as popular today as it has ever has been and is one of the most common bong types. It provides the user with a sensation that can’t be matched by any other type of bong and is the iconic symbolization of what a bong should be.
An angled water bong is a relatively new design and is ever growing in its popularity. It provides a more relaxed smoking experience and is more convenient to use than its straight tubed counterpart.
Custom bongs are evolving into extremely intricate pieces and they provide the chance for the numerous contemporary glass blowers to show off their amazing skills. These pieces can be extremely expensive due to their originality, but are a sound investment and will provide you with years of fulfilment if looked after correctly.

If you need discretion and ease, consider the small bongs, as these are definitely the easiest to hide and can be quickly loaded and used. If you don’t have any restrictions and have an available space to freely smoke then the medium size are probably the best bongs for you.

Water bongs are manufactured in a variety of materials and choosing which one to buy is purely down to personal preference. Acrylic bongs are by far the cheapest and are ideal for a first cheap bong if you have a tight budget. Glass bongs are the most popular, mainly due to their ability to stay cool and not taint the hit with an acrid after-taste. A ceramic bong tends to be smaller in size and like the glass bongs can produce a clean tasting hit. Wooden bongs are generally made from bamboo and provide a traditional approach to smoking. Metal bongs are great for durability , though can be known to taint the hit with burn off fumes. Although the wooden and metal bongs are not as popular as the glass or acrylic, they still provide a nice hit and are still used by many.
There are many other factors that can be considered when you are looking to buy bongs, but these will come with personal preference once you have a basic understanding of what works best for you.
