Ceramic may not strike you as the most suitable material when you're shopping for a bong. However, it allows for some serious artistic expression. Not only can it be crafted into almost any shape and form, but its opaque nature means that it can be painted in ways other materials can’t. If you are looking for a new and special piece to add to your collection, ceramic may be the way to go!
Ceramic bongs have been around for a long time. They are usually made from pottery clay that is shaped, fired in a kiln, decorated and glazed, and then fired again. The process allows for plenty of artistic freedom, with some bongs shaped in a traditional, simple way, and others featuring unique shapes and often fun, colourful designs. Every smoker will easily find a bong that suits their taste and some make for true collector's items that can spark funny discussions when you share a bowl with your friends.
Overall, there’s lots to like once you have all the information about ceramic bongs. What's more, your water pipe will be durable if you treat it right. It can also serve as a decorative object, with some designed to look more or less obvious.
Ceramic bongs are a little different to your silicone or acrylic bongs, and perhaps they have more in common with glass bongs. They come with their own set of advantages and disadvantages, so depending on the smoking experience you are after and your budget, they might be a great option for you.
The pros:
The cons:
Using a ceramic bong depends somewhat on its design. Firstly, knowing what each part of a bong does is essential to understanding how to use one.
Ceramic bongs are fairly easy to clean. For a regular wash, warm soapy water will help keep your bong fresh and buildup free. Get in there with a brush to really work that grime out. From time to time, using alcohol or acid will be helpful to get those really embedded layers out.
The main downside to cleaning ceramics is that as it’s not transparent, it’s not as easy to see how dirty it is compared to a transparent alternative. So regular cleaning is a great idea and it will help you make sure that it doesn’t become too gross in there.
For the downpipe, pipe cleaners are more or less essential, else you’ll have a whole load of tar building up in there which will make drawing harder, and it will definitely impact the flavour.
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.
