Top Bongs of 2022
Looking to upgrade your bong, or start your glass collection?
A good and reliable bong is a must in any smoker’s set, and is arguably the most popular of any smoking accessory. The best bongs elevate your smoking experience, allowing you to take long, smooth hits. A good bong lets you take deeper rips than regular hand pipes, is gentler on the lungs than a toke from a joint, and is usually easier and more powerful than a simple bubbler.
That’s why here, we’re listing the best bongs you can get. We’ll show you the best water pipes to adapt to your style, your needs, and your budget.
Let’s find the best bong for you!

Final Thoughts on our Top 10 Bongs
Bongs are a must-have in every smoker’s arsenal and stoner stash. Our advice? Instead of spending your money on cheap bongs of fragile acrylic, it pays off to invest in a high-quality bong that can give you the functionality you’re looking for. Whether you’re looking for beginner-friendly straight tube bongs, beaker bongs, ice bongs, or something more unique (like your fancy, heavy-hitter perc bongs), our catalog has your perfect match.
The best type of bong for you is the one that better aligns with your needs. Silicone bongs are very reliable and almost indestructible, but glass bongs produce a smoother hit while preserving the flavors of your dry herb. The best bongs are ones made with thick borosilicate glass, packed with features like a showerhead perc, inline percs, or an ice pinch to cool down your hits.
More complex designs, like ones with a honeycomb perc, a disc perc, or a recycler, are better at cooling down the smoke, but will require a bigger investment.
