In the cannabis market, there is a great variety of bongs, which vary in various aspects, including the material with which they are manufactured, but beyond the design that may have a bong, generally, all work the same way, and most consist of the same parts.
In this post, we invite you to learn about the different materials that are frequently used to make bongs:
1) Glass
This option can be to the liking of many, because with the glass bongs, you will not affect the taste of the cannabis, and is transparent; it is easier to clean, as you can detect the resin easily. However, among the disadvantages of this bong is that they tend to be more expensive and fragile.
2) Ceramic
Ceramic bongs are very common and usually come with designs worthy of a work of art, and vary in their shapes and colors.
Unfortunately, ceramic bongs are not very practical due to their weight and volume. In addition, because of their multiple shapes, cleaning them can be a difficult task.
Given the material they are made of, they can also be easily broken.
3) Crystal

4) Plastic
Plastic or acrylic bongs can be seen inside when they are translucent. These are ideal if you want to travel with it, they are also easy to clean and their price is affordable, but in terms of quality and water control, some people recommend more glass bongs, because those made with plastic can dilute the taste of cannabis.
5) Bamboo or wood
These materials are usually inexpensive and very durable, as long as you take good care of them. Now among the drawbacks that occur with this type of bongs is that they can be difficult to clean.
Bamboo bongs are lightweight, you can carve multiple designs into them to give them a personalized touch, and the best part is that they do not affect the taste of the marijuana.
6) Metallic
Although rare, this bong can be an option for many because of its cost and durability. The downside, however, is that it is difficult to know when it is time to clean it, and it can affect the taste of the cannabis.

When a bong is not available, many cannabis users use a variety of homemade materials, such as fruit. In this regard, we recommend that you go deeper into how to make them from home, before you start letting your imagination run wild and end up using whatever material comes to mind. Always be careful.
