Straight Tube Bongs

Straight tube bongs are the most iconic and straightforward design. With their tall, vertical shape, they deliver powerful rips with minimal drag. Many smokers love them for their simplicity, ease of cleaning, and consistent performance. They’re also affordable compared to more complex percolator styles, though their tall shape makes them slightly less stable than beaker bases.

Pros	Cons
Strong, direct hits with minimal drag	Less stable than wide-base options
Easy to clean and maintain	Not the most portable shape
Simple, affordable design	Can tip over if bumped
Classic look that never goes out of style	Harsher hits compared to diffused bongs

>

Recycler Bongs

Recycler bongs are a unique and powerful way to smoke, using air pressure and water displacement to deliver dense clouds. They’re often homemade, but glass and acrylic versions are widely available today. Because of the volume of smoke they deliver, they’re a favorite for those seeking maximum intensity. However, they’re less convenient for casual or discreet use.

Gravity bongs are all about intensity. Their design makes it easy to take massive hits in one pull, which is why they’ve gained cult status. While they pack a punch, they’re not ideal for everyone, especially beginners.

Pros	Cons
Produces huge, dense hits	Can be overwhelming for new smokers
Simple design, often affordable	Less portable and discreet
Maximizes efficiency of herb	Not ideal for long, relaxed sessions
Fun and unique smoking experience	Water setup can be messy

>

Beaker Bongs

Beaker bongs are shaped with a wide, conical base, giving them extra stability and larger water capacity. This design allows for smoother, cooler hits and makes them less likely to tip over. They’re a go-to choice for both beginners and seasoned smokers.

Pros	Cons
Very stable thanks to wide base	Bulkier than straight tubes
Holds more water for smoother filtration	More glass, more to clean
Great balance of power and comfort	Can be pricier than basic tubes
Durable and user-friendly	Takes up more storage space

>

Honeycomb Bongs

Honeycomb bongs feature perforated discs that break smoke into dozens of tiny bubbles for ultra-smooth hits. The honeycomb percolator increases diffusion without adding drag, giving smokers the best of both worlds. They’re a great choice for those who want high performance and smoother sessions.

Pros	Cons
Excellent diffusion for smooth hits	Harder to clean percolator discs
Minimal drag despite filtration	Often more expensive
Visually striking design	Requires careful handling
Balances flavor and smoothness	Not as simple as basic tubes

>

Zig Zag Bongs

Zig zag bongs stand out with their distinctive wavy necks. This design not only adds flair but also helps trap ash and cool smoke before it reaches your lungs. While they’re less common than other bong styles, they make a strong statement piece for any collection.

Pros	Cons
Unique design that stands out	Harder to clean due to curves
Cools smoke as it travels	Can be fragile if mishandled
Acts as both a piece and display	Less portable than simple tubes
Fun and stylish conversation starter	Usually higher in price

>
