Glass Bongs and Water Pipes
LOOKAH Water pipes & Glass Bongs for sale
Lookah is an established bong brand renowned for unique original designs and premium products.
Developing over 200 new products yearly, LOOKAH is at the forefront of the market and redefines the familiar water and beaker bongs with unique designs drawing on structural aesthetics and functionality.
Glass bongs and smoking pipes have been around for centuries. They are a favorite way for smokers to hit up dry herbs such as tobacco or other legal flowers.
Smoking out of a high-quality recycler bong is much kinder on the lungs because the water eliminates the dry heat you get from smoking.
Each finely honed Angle allows the complex chamber system to function perfectly, combining visual appeal and functional advantage. It is a popular choice for smoking enthusiasts who appreciate beauty and performance.
The word bong is said to have originated from the Thai word "baung," which is a bamboo pipe used for smoking weed. Bongs have been around for centuries, but Lookah borosilicate glass bongs are far superior to those old bamboo pipes of the past.
For those who often attend parties or travel, Lookah has a range of mini bongs that are convenient to carry and have a variety of styles, whether cool skull bongs, octopus bongs, or cute mushroom bongs. Among the diversified styles, there is always one that will excite you.
Why buy a Bong from Lookah online smoke shop?
1: High offline sales, ten-year-old brand
Over time, we have built a relationship with many offline dealers and distributors. The long-term cooperation shows that the market recognizes the Lookah brand. With over 100,000+ bongs sold yearly, our brand recognition is a seal of approval.
2: There is a single style on the market, and function and appearance cannot be optimal simultaneously.
Lookah's design and craftsmanship from in-house artisan glass blowers allow us to take advantage of the plasticity of working with glass. Many glass waterpipes on the market are cheaply made and imitations that lack the functionality of Lookah devices.
For example, most beakers only have one primary feature: a large water chamber. Lookah's take on these beakers combines them with multiple filters to allow better cooling and filtration while adding aesthetics with decorative pendants.
Our well-received products are often imitated by cheap knockoffs, but these inferior replicas never live up to the truly exceptional experience of smoking from a Lookah glass bong.
3: LOOKAH has plenty of variety
Variety is the spice of life; with an extensive range of glass bubbler pipes and new products launched every quarter, we try to cater to all tastes and styles. You can also check them out at our online smoke shop, which updates new styles monthly.
This is the absolute confidence in our own process design and manufacturing capabilities. We cover almost all styles products of glass bongs and water pipes, and each of the thousands of styles is a unique bongs. Broad and precise, many and excellent.
Lookah Online stores are currently conducting discounts. Many high-end but cheap bongs are priced under 100$, so owning a premium glass piece is expensive.
How much is a bong's worth? What exactly are you paying for?
The best bongs allow you to inhale the delicious flavor of your favorite herb without that cough-inducing hot inhale that smokers hate.
When buying a bong, it's best to set a budget and stick to that. Consider the quality and functionality of the piece.
1: Material
The price of a bong is most strikingly reflected in the materials.
Ceramic bongs: Ceramic bongs are heavy, and while ceramics can be molded into many different forms, bubbler water pipes made from this material can be challenging to clean. The porous nature of ceramics can absorb smells and bacteria and make maintenance hard work.
Acrylic bongs: Acrylic bongs are lightweight and reasonably durable, but they lack the purity of flavor you get from a glass pipe. Also, you can't clean acrylics in alcohol, and they will degrade and crack over time. The main benefit is that they are cheap bongs, which can be better than no bongs if you're on a tight budget.
Silicone bongs: Silicone bongs are robust and have great portability, but they lack the filtration of glass pieces. Silicon can be molded into many different shapes, won't break if dropped, and offers a reasonable option for the clumsy or those who enjoy smoking outdoors.
A cheap bong may look like a good deal, but if it's not made with quality materials and doesn't provide the best smoking experience, it's not of good value.
2: Design and function
The design and functionality of a bong can significantly affect its worth.
Bongs come in many shapes and sizes, and buffs have preferred styles.
Some have multiple percolators that help filter and cool the smoke.
Others have ice pinches that allow you to add ice cubes to further cool the smoke.
Some scientific-style bongs have an intricate web of tubes and chambers that rinse and filter the smoke.
The more features and the larger the water pipes are, the more expensive
3: Brand
As with any product, the brand of your bong will affect its price.
Researching different brands and reading reviews is essential to determine which ones are reputable and worth your money.
If you want a high-quality experience while ensuring the quality of the product, choose a brand with an established reputation and history.
The well-known brands like Lookah is known for its high-quality materials and craftsmanship.
Lookah's water bongs will put you in the big leagues. You'll be the envy of your friends with gorgeously crafted glasswork featuring intricate detail and psychedelic designs.
4. Price
A basic bong is little more than a straight pipe with a bowl. These are often cheap water bongs costing $50 to $100 but don't have the added function of percolators or recyclers and lack the aesthetic appeal that Lookah Glass aims to achieve.
Our Lookah percolator bongs and recyclers improve filtration and cooling for your session's with smooth hits. The prices start around $100 and, depending on complexity and size, go to $200+.
These top-quality devices use a water filtration system to cool your hit so you can take a massive lung full of smoke that's cool, clean, and full-bodied.
For that cool bong taste, select an ice bong. These have ice notches located near the neck. The ice catcher's addition means you can drop in a couple of ice cubes to ensure you receive a more relaxed smoking session with every inhale.
What are Bongs? Parts of a Bong
To understand what a bong is and how it functions, we can examine the different parts of the device. Let's consider the different components that make up a bong.
A bong consists of four main parts: the bowl, downstem, water chamber, and mouthpiece. Each part plays a vital role in the overall functionality.
1:Bowl
The bowl is often removable and is the part that holds the dry herb ready to be ignited. It is usually made of glass metal and is connected through the glass joint to the down stem.
2:Joints
Joints are where two parts of the pipe join or meet. They are described as male or female and measured in millimeters. A male joint fits into a female joint and vice versa. Knowing the joint size and gender of your bubbler pipe is essential so you can buy the correct accessories, such as bowls and ash catchers.
3:Downstem
The downstem connects the bowl to the water chamber. Some downtimes are removable (often found in beaker bongs), and some are fixed. Removable downstems have a slotted end, which acts as a percolator. Fixed downstems lead to the percolator.
4:Percolator
Percolators come in different shapes and sizes; they are an essential part of the water pipe for defusing smoke through water. This helps filter ash and impurities from the smoke. They also cool down the smoke for a smoother hit.
5:Water Chamber
The water chamber is the main body of the device. Larger chambers with more surface area provide better cooling of the smoke.
The water chambers come in various sizes and are often decorative, such as mushroom, octopus, skull, and other cool or cute bongs. You can decide the style you need according to your preferences. As the smoke passes through the water, it is cooled, making it easier to inhale and less harmful to the throat and lungs.
6:Ice Pinch
Ice pinches consist of one or more inward-facing points that catch cold ice dropped into the neck of the water pipes. As the smoke passes the ice cubes, it is cooled down so it's smoother to inhale.
7:Neck
The neck of the water pipe can be straight or bent. Bent necks can offer a more laid-back smoking position. These come in a range of sizes and neck shapes.
8:Mouthpiece
The mouthpiece is the part of the device is where the user inhales smoke. Some devices have flat-edged mouthpieces, while others have curved, rounded mouthpieces.
Its shape can affect the overall smoking experience. The mouthpiece also helps create a tight seal, ensuring no smoke escapes.
These main components form a bong. A large variety of options, styles, and complexity gives rise to many opportunities.
In our online smoke shop, you can see a lot of complexly designed pieces of glass.
They not only look beautiful but also help create an excellent smoking experience.
How to use a Bong - Five easy steps for the best experience
Step 1: Fill the water chamber
The first step is to fill the water chamber with enough water to cover the percolator holes. Ensure the water level is not too high to avoid splashing in your mouth when inhaling. Conversely, the smoke will not be filtered adequately if the water level is too low. A good rule is to fill the water chamber about an inch above the holes in the percolator.
Step 2: Grind the weed
Before packing the bowl, grinding the herb to a good consistency is essential. This will ensure even combustion and better airflow. You can use a grinder or break the herb up by hand to make sure it is properly ground. Make sure it's evenly shredded but not too finely ground.
Step 3: Pack the bowl
Once the dry herb has been ground up, pack the bowl. Using a screen at the bottom of the bowl is advisable to prevent ash and other debris from entering the device.
Pack the bowl lightly at the bottom and slightly heavier at the top. This helps keep the airflow open, making the draw smoother. It will also keep the cherry or ember steady at the top.
Step 4: Light the bowl and inhale
Hold the bong with one hand and the lighter with the other, then place your lips on the mouthpiece, making a good seal.
Light the bowl while inhaling slowly. The smoke will pass through the down stem into the water chamber and then up through the neck.
When your lungs are almost full, release the carb or lift the bowl to clear the chamber of smoke.
Step 5: Exhale and repeat
Exhale the smoke and, when ready, repeat as needed.
Pace yourself and avoid smoking too much in a row. Be sure to take several breaths before each hit.
Enjoy the sound of the water bubbling through the device.
These steps will guide you on how to use the device effectively for a smooth and enjoyable smoking experience.
What are Borosilicate Glass Bongs?
At Lookah, we use durable borosilicate glass for our coolest bongs and smoking pipes. Unlike some cheap bongs for sale online, we only offer premium quality pieces made from the highest-grade borosilicate glass.
This type of glass is made with silica and boron trioxide as the main glass-forming constituents. Borosilicate glass is well known for having a very low coefficient of thermal expansion. That low coefficient means it is more resistant to thermal shock. There is less thermal stress when the glass changes temperature, so it can withstand more considerable temperature differences without breaking.
We offer a stunning range of unique, intricately hand-blown, and limited-edition glass pieces.
How Do Bongs Work?
Bongs come in many different shapes, sizes, and materials. Some are very basic, with a chamber and bowl attachment. Others are scientific masterpieces with crazy filtration, and some are colorful, hand-blown works of art.
They all do the same thing to varying effectiveness: filter and cool the smoke from combusted cannabis.
Bongs generally feature a bowl that holds dried weed. When you light the herb, it combusts. The action of inhaling on the mouthpiece creates suction. This suction draws the smoke through the water in the bottom, bubbling where the smoke comes through the water (percolation, if you want to get technical). As smoke rises through the water, ash, impurities, and some toxins get caught in the water. The result is purer smoke gathering in the chamber before entering your mouth and lungs.
Are Bongs Better For Your Lungs?
Suppose you're looking for a smoother smoking experience with less harshness. In that case, a bong will give you that compared to smoking cannabis rolled in paper or smoking through a hand pipe.
The water in a bong eliminates the dry heat you experience when smoking a blunt or joint. The experience is often described as creamy, smoother, and cooler than the harsh hit from a joint or hand pipe.
This effect can be deceiving, though. While the smoother smoke might feel better on your lungs, you're still smoking and introducing chemicals and tar to your lungs. Smoke is still entering your lungs' alveoli ( Tiny balloon-shaped structures where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged in the blood ), which can cause harm over time.
Some harmful chemicals will naturally be filtered out with bongs, but not all of them. This is why getting high-quality weed that hasn't been grown with pesticides is essential. So, glass water pipes are a "safer" way to smoke weed or other herbs. However, they are not as safe as other consumption methods, such as vaping or edibles.
Different Types of Glass Water Bongs
1:Beaker bongs
These glass beakers are in the shape of a conical flask or Erlenmeyer flask. They have a flat bottom, large body, and cylindrical neck. They often use removable diffused downstems, and the large chamber allows you to take massive hits.
2:Bent neck bongs
As the name suggests, these are glass pieces with a bent neck. This prevents the water from rising into the neck or your mouth. The bent neck also means taking hits in a more relaxed posture without bending directly over the device.
3:Straight neck bongs
These basic glass pipes have a straight tube and a mouthpiece. Sizes can vary, but they are all easy to clean.
4:Recycler Bongs
A bong with multiple chambers to recycle the smoke that delivers a smoother hit.
5:Mini Bongs
These are more compact than small bongs and are perfect for travel, allowing you to take your favorite smoke away from home. Mini bongs are considered anything under 6 inches.
6:Small Bongs
These are smaller than big bongs but not mini bongs. They range from around 6 inches to 14 inches in height. This allows you to easily use them with one hand without the need to set them down or risk them toppling over.
7:Perc Bongs or percolator Bongs
These pipes are the best choice for a clean, fabulous smoking experience. They maximize filtration and cooling by diffusing the smoke into different paths, which maximizes its contact with the water and speeds the cooling and filtration. They also look fantastic when used, as the smoke is divided and sent rushing through different pipes and chambers, which can be mesmerizing.
8:Glycerin Water Pipes
Glycerin is a non-toxic gel made from fatty acids. It is commonly found in food as a preservative or sweetener. This gel has a high melting point and freezes much faster than water, so you don't have to wait for hours like you would when making ice.
Once frozen, it will stay that way longer than water, making it a great alternative to ice bongs.
When using an ice bong, as the ice melts, the water runs down past the ice notches and increases the water level of your device. When the waterline gets high enough, it can cause splashback, and that's a real problem as nobody likes a face full of water.
Glycerine bongs are the answer to these troubles. They offer the perfect way to cool down your pipe without adding to the water level. This can improve the smoking experience and allow smaller pipes to cool effectively.
Glycerin pipes sometimes feature a coil system, sometimes called condenser coils. These freezable parts can filter and cool the smoke passing through them.
