What are silicone bongs? 5 brands to try out

Let’s take a moment of silence for every beautiful bong that has come to an untimely end at the hands of a Butterfinger stoner – myself included. Like many glass purists, I watched with horror as my absolute favorite piece fell to the ground and broke – may it now rest in pieces.

To reduce the chance of broken bongs in the future, consider a silicone bong. Sure, I’ll always have a nice borosilicate mug in my collection, but who says you can’t have a change?

Silicone bongs come in a variety of shapes, colors, and sizes, but generally contain the same components, and like their glass counterparts, these pieces are fairly intuitive to use and offer a smooth punch. Some silicone options even include percolators or ice pinchers, both of which can filter or cool the smoke even more, enhancing the experience.

Below you’ll find out why silicone bongs are becoming increasingly popular and check out some of our recommendations.

Why buy a silicone bong?

Silicone bongs are almost impossible, with the exception of the head itself, which can usually be swapped out. A high quality silicone bong is made from food grade silicone that is pliable, durable, and non-toxic. You can drop it and it won’t break, making it a great choice for chronic bong breakers.

It’s also fantastic for consumers who are always on the move. Some options are small enough to toss a backpack in without fear of destroying it – a fancy protective cover is not required. There are even rollable silicone bongs that are easy to transport or store in a small space. Whether you’re going on an outdoor adventure or having a party, you can take bong rips with you anywhere.

Thanks to the natural non-stick properties of silicone, silicone bongs are also super easy to clean. It can be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol and salt like a piece of glass, or you can use dish soap and warm water. Some pieces are actually dishwasher safe, although each piece should be washed individually to avoid damaging your other dishes.
