Bong Vs Water Pipe: What Is The Difference?

Bong Vs Water Pipe: What Is The Difference?

Now all related equipment can be bought online. I have seen many retailers sell bongs as water pipes, so I think I should clarify.

A bong is a tube, usually at least 1 to 3 inches in diameter, with a sealed bottom. It can be made of bamboo, acrylic, metal, wood, or glass, but it doesn't matter as long as it can hold water. A real bong usually has a base that allows it to stand independently. Most of the bongs are straight-barreled, but some are custom-made with a slight back angle so that you don’t light your eyebrows off or burn your hair when you light it. The bowl is connected to a downward stem, which is inserted into the surface of the water pipe near the bottom. Generally, the stems are about 4 to 6 inches long and about 1/4 inch in diameter. The stem reaches down to the bottom of the bong tube to reach below the water level and is sealed in the hole in front of the bong tube by a watertight rubber grommet. The outer part of the tube protrudes a few inches upwards, on the outside of the bong tube, screw a bowl there.

You hit a bong on the top of the bong tube and draw the smoke from the pipe into the water. After the smoke cools, it rises through the bubbles and enters the empty lance chamber above the water surface, fulling with smoke. When your bowl is exchanged for cash, open the hole in the carburetor or take out the chili pepper, and then hit your smoker. Note: "bubble" is just the name of the mini-bong.

Have you ever thought about the difference between a bong and a water pipe?

The first water pipe is made of gourd. The top is where the bowl or pepper is placed. This is a stem that reaches the bottom and is below the waterline. The water pipe has a straw or tube extending from the side at an upward angle. Use a straw to suck the smoke through the lower stem, into the water, upward into the gourd body, and then discharge from the straw or pipe. Many water pipes today are made of glass, ceramic, or plastic.

There are other types of water pipes, some are just glass-worked pipes with water or a bowl under the bubbling chamber. Then there is the Persian hookah pipe, which is obviously a type of water pipe. A hookah is a single or multiple pipes used to smoke flavored tobacco called shisha. The smoke is passed through a water basin before being inhaled. Okay, now you know the difference between bongs and water pipes, now smoke on!
