Compact, heavy-duty glass bong with a double-bubble base
The thick-walled glass gives this bong more weight and sturdiness than standard thin-walled models. This makes it more durable for daily use and less prone to minor bumps or knocks. The double bubble bowl—a large bowl at the bottom and a smaller one above it—provides a larger water chamber capacity than a single bowl of the same 12 cm height.
The diagonal side mouthpiece provides a comfortable draw angle and fits well in the palm of your hand. The transparent chillum/downstem directs the smoke upward through the water. The 14.5 mm ground joint is the standard size, for which a wide range of replacement parts is available. You can find more hookahs in the hookah category. For grinders and other smoking accessories, you can also visit the headshop.
Use and Maintenance
Fill the bowl with water until the bottom of the downstem is just submerged. Place the funnel bowl into the 14.5 mm ground joint, fill with herbs, and light while inhaling through the side mouthpiece. Clean regularly with warm water or isopropyl alcohol. The thick-walled glass is more resistant to temperature changes than thin-walled glass, but always use lukewarm water when cleaning to avoid cracks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between this and the green oil bong (item 59)?
Both bongs have a double bubble base and a 14.5 mm ground joint, but there are three practical differences. The blue bong (item 177) is 12 cm tall and thick-walled; the green beer bong (item 59) is 14 cm tall and has a sideways horizontal mouthpiece. The blue version is more compact and sturdier due to the thicker glass. The green one is slightly larger and has a flatter draw angle because of the horizontal mouthpiece.
What is the advantage of thick-walled glass in a bong?
Thick-walled glass is heavier, which makes the bong more stable on a surface. It is also more resilient to minor bumps or knocks, though glass remains fragile if dropped. When used with hot water, thick-walled glass is slightly more tolerant of temperature fluctuations. For daily home use, it feels more robust than thin-walled glass.
Can I replace the funnel bowl with other accessories?
Yes. The 14.5 mm ground joint is the most common standard size in the headshop assortment. Replacement bowls, ash catchers, or bangers in 14.5 mm are widely available. When purchasing, check whether you need a female or male thread type to ensure compatibility with this bong.
