The best bong brands for every stoner

While 2023 looks set to be the year that infused pre-rolls and cannabis beverages make a splash, glass is definitely having a moment of its own. There have never been so many options for bongs that are sleek, chic, durable and fun straight forward.

Here’s a handpicked sampler of bong brands to watch in 2023.

Best budget bong

If you’re looking for a simple, no-fuss, and affordable bong, LA Pipes has you covered. It offers a wide range of glass accessories and the budget bongs are good value with decent design and looks.

Classic bong aesthetics at its finest, the Clear Glass Basic Hookah from LA Pipes retails for $43.66.

Best Flashy Bong

Highly functional, sleek and swanky, Stuendenglass bongs are also almost effortless gravity bongs.

The Gravity Infuser comes in a variety of colorways based on collaborations with the likes of Taylor Gang, Cookies and more from Wiz Khalifa. It can be used to infuse food and drink – or even used as a hookah.

The Hourglass Gravity Infuser retails for $599.

Best Gravity Bong

Speaking of gravity bongs, if you’re looking for the intersection of affordable and functional, look no further than one of the OG gravity bong brands, GRAV.

The Gravitron was one of the first all-glass gravity bongs on the market, and the brand has improved on the original design to improve functionality and durability. If you want the gravity bong experience without all the DIY, this one is for you.

The Gravitron is available in large ($99) and medium ($79) sizes.

Best statement bong

What happens when a high-end fashion designer deals with cannabis accessories? Edie Parker flower.

While there are several more affordable glass options in their collection, if you’re looking to invest in a bong that will be a treasured keepsake for the rest of your damn life, look no further than EP’s collaboration with Brooklyn-based glass artist Paul Arnhold.

The Paul Arnhold x Edie Parker bong costs $795.

Best ceramic bong

Anyone who loves ceramics loves them very much. Whether it’s the distinctive look or the feel in your hands, ceramic bongs have a certain earthy appeal to them. If you want to go high end with a ceramic bong, Summerland has a modern and stylish collection for you to browse. The Land Yacht bong is perhaps the most eye-catching, selling for $250.

For a more affordable ceramic option, RYOT offers clean designs and durable construction – plus these bongs come with cork tops so you can close them and move them around without fear of foul bong water splashing out.

The ceramic Traveler hookah costs $100.

Best durable bong

Who among us has not broken a glass accessory? It almost has to happen, and it sucks if it happens. If you’re looking for a little more durability from your bong, the entire Eyce line is designed with durability in mind. The bongs feature a hardened silicone body designed to protect removable glass components – like the down tube – while offering other smart features like a hidden storage bin and a magnetic ring to help you keep track of your lighter.

The eye cup costs $69.99.

If you want to stick with the classic glass bong aesthetic while reducing the chance of breakage, there are many bongs made from thicker-than-average glass for exactly that reason. Session Goods offers a sleek and modern model with a silicone skirting board that doubles as a slip guard and protection. It also includes a silicone mouth cover and cleaning caps with each bong.

The Session Goods bong retails for $185.

Best Portable Bong

This bong from Puffco is the best portable and sneaky bong on this list.

The Cupsy masquerades as a portable coffee mug, making it discreet and small enough to fit in a purse or backpack. The stainless steel mug is easy to clean and the silicone lid hides a ceramic bowl.

The Puffco Cupsy costs $59.99.

Best percolator bong

Percolator bongs (or percs) have additional components in the tube or base of the bong that disperse the smoke prior to inhalation, making hits smoother and easier to inhale. While percolators may sound like a recent weed innovation, they’ve been around for ages and you can find them in a variety of price points.

Heir’s percolator bong features thoughtful design and durability while being quite slim. It even comes with a bong koozie for added protection.

The Heir Waterpipe costs $220.

Vitae Glass may win top prizes for the sheer variety of percolator styles it offers – UFO, Jellyfish or Matrix for example – and the modular design means you can stack perc upon perc or build your own bong from the ground up.

The Triple Honey Comb Bong costs $229.

Best bong to smoke with your best friends

If smoking with your best friend, lover, neighbor, or even your mom sounds like a great time, there’s a bong for it.

The Mav Bestie Bong has a cup bottom and two mouthpieces for double the fun. It sells for $149.

bottom line

In the modern age of cannabis use, classic glass pieces like the bong remain strong. That means there’s plenty to choose from, with the chance to find a bong that suits your needs, budget, and aesthetic sensibilities. Enjoy the process and don’t forget to clean your bong regularly.
