BIG BONGS

Anything over 14 inches is considered a big bong. Huge bongs become an instant centerpiece, something that strikes awe in the most seasoned smoker because with great size comes massive rips of responsibility. In essence, it’s a challenge of sorts. One that is hard to resist even if it ends in an endless coughing fit gasping for air.  

The Big Bong Theory

We even have our very own big bong theory behind the draw of these mammoth pieces. Inspired by the theory of the origin of the universe itself, our big bong theory is that the cosmic inflation, rapid expansion and cooling of smoke within your big bong gave rise to the massive yet smooth rips we all know and love. And that is why big bongs are becoming more and more universal with time. 

Advantages of big bongs

  • Massive rips – Due to the large chamber there’s more space for smoke to accumulate. 
  • Cool hits – Big bongs have much more surface area to cool smoke as it travels through the different chambers. 
  • Durable – Huge bongs tend to be quality pieces made from thick borosilicate glass or silicone. This also makes them more durable and balanced. 
  • Percolation power – If you are looking for ultimate percolation power, big bongs often feature multiple percs due to their taller height. 
  • Party bong – Big bongs are a great option for parties or if you tend to have a lot of friends over.
  • Statement and centerpiece – A big bong is quite the statement piece. 

Features to consider

  • Material – With big bongs, you’ll often choose between borosilicate glass and food-grade silicone.  Straight tube styles are preferred in silicone while beakers are best in borosilicate glass.
  • Maintenance – If you are looking for minimal maintenance go with a simple straight tube bong. The more intricate the piece with percs, recycler arms and ash catchers, the more work it will be to clean. 
  • Percolators – The added filtration that percs provide help to filter and cool smoke. 
  • Ice catchers – Most bongs have just one ice catcher but larger pieces can accommodate more. Naturally, the lower the ice pinch is and the bigger the bong, the more ice cubes you can fit which will cool down your hits significantly. 

Big Bong Sizes

Big bongs come in many sizes ranging from 14 inches to Bongzilla which holds the title for the world’s biggest bong at 24 feet. Yes, we said feet. Still, realistically, the upper threshold is normally around 24 inches. 

It’s a party

If you’ve ever had the pleasure to take a rip from a 2 foot bong, even an 18 inch bong, you know that there is something about putting your whole body into it that makes it something special. Big bongs are the ultimate party favor, one that can be shared and passed along.
