Bongs can be made from a variety of materials. We have a top selection including ceramic bongs, glass bongs, acrylic bongs, and silicone bongs. Their primary function is to cool the smoke, allowing for larger hits to be taken. The water also filters out some of the particulates and tars produced in the smoke for a healthier, smoother toke. A bowl holds the smoking mix, and sucking on the mouthpiece draws the smoke down through the water reservoir. A small hole or “choke” is kept covered while drawing the smoke, then is uncovered for inhalation.

Bongs have long been one of the most popular smoking tools used to consume cannabis, and for good reason. A quality bong can be a life-long companion, offering clean, well-filtered hits that are less harsh on the throat and mouth. Whether you are shopping for your first bong or your last, below you'll find all the info you need to know about when buying a bong.
✅ Bongs cool smoke, making for smoother hits that are less irritating to the mouth, throat, and respiratory tract.
✅ They offer better filtration than regular cardboard filter tips.
✅ Bongs produce bigger, thicker clouds of smoke.
✅ Bong hits are more flavorful than hits from a joint or regular pipe.
✅ Bongs are super easy to use.
The Zamnesia Headshop stocks dozens of bongs made from different materials and of different shapes/sizes. If you're shopping for a bong, keep the following in mind:
Glass bongs are arguably the most popular and offer the purest aromas and flavours when smoking.
Silicone bongs are virtually indestructible and fairly priced.
Plastic bongs are the cheapest and still pretty durable.
Ceramic bongs offer pure taste and flavour and usually come in various unique designs.
Besides the material they are made from, bongs can also be further categorized by their shape:
Beaker bongs have wide bottoms that keep them from tipping over and can produce large clouds of smoke.
Bubble bongs have a rounded bottom that, like beaker bongs, can hold more water and produce larger hits than a straight bong.
Straight bongs have a tubular design and are the most accommodating for bong accessories such as percolators (more info below).
Bubblers are small, portable water pipes that combine the convenience of a one-hitter with the water filtration of a traditional bong.
Dab rigs are specially designed to be used with concentrates and are a must-have for anyone wanting to get into dabbing.
Water pipes (hookahs, narguiles, argilehs, etc) are traditional smoking instruments originating from the Middle East. They are typically used to smoke flavored tobacco called "shisha" and have a very distinct appearance. While they work very similarly, bongs are much more modern and designed to be used to smoke cannabis and its derivatives.
When buying a bong, your budget should be one of the first things to consider. Bong prices in our store vary from €9 to €300+, so setting yourself a clear budget from the start can help narrow down the options.
Moreover, you'll also want to consider how you plan to use your bong. If you want something portable you can easily take on the road, a cheap plastic, acrylic, or silicone bong might be the best option. On the other hand, if you only smoke at home and want a quality pipe that maximizes the flavour and aroma of your weed, spending the extra cash on a nice glass bong from EHLE or ROOR might well be worth it. If you plan to smoke concentrates, keep in mind that not all bongs are made to be used for dabbing, and you might be best off investing in a dedicated dab rig or a bong with a dab adapter.
There are countless bong brands out there, but a few have earned their reputation for making some of the best bongs on the market. These include:
ROOR. Founded in the mid-90s by German glass blower Martin Birzle, ROOR is highly regarded for the quality of all its pipes, from the most elaborate, unique pieces down to the simplest one hitter.
EHLE. Founded in 1989 by Thomas Ehle (who comes from a long line of glass workers), EHLE is another top bong brand from Germany.
Black Leaf. Black Leaf dates back to 1988. It designs all of its glassware in-house and also stocks a full catalogue of vaporizers, dab rigs, smoke accessories, and merchandise.
Keep in mind that these 3 brands are just some of our favourites. The Zamnesia Headshop contains bongs from many other respected bong brands, so make sure to browse it for more variety.
