Welcome to the ultimate collection of bongs and water pipes, your one-stop destination for everything from mini rigs and baby beakers to heady bongs and straight tubes. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned connoisseur, we’ve got the perfect water pipe to elevate your experience. With premium options in beaker bongs, bubblers, and heady glass, every session can be smoother, cleaner, and more flavorful.

What is a Bong?

A bong is a filtration device used to cool and purify smoke or vapor. It typically consists of a water-filled chamber that diffuses and filters smoke as it passes through, reducing harshness and providing a smoother inhale. In short, a water pipe is more than just a tool — it’s a gateway to a better session.

Bongs come in all shapes and sizes, but the core idea is consistent: maximize smoothness, minimize burn. From mini rigs for ultra-potent hits to full-sized beaker bongs for big, cooled rips, there’s a perfect setup for everyone.

What's the Difference Between a Bong and a Water Pipe?

Technically speaking, bong and water pipe are interchangeable terms. However, "water pipe" is sometimes used in more formal or retail settings. Regardless of the term, both use water to cool smoke before inhalation. If you're wondering whether to search for a "water pipe" or a "bong," rest assured—you’ll find the same essential function and performance under both names.

Types of Bongs and Water Pipes We Offer

We carry a wide range of styles and designs to suit every preference. Here are the most popular types available in our collection:

Beaker Bongs & Beaker Water Pipes

The iconic beaker bong is a staple in any smoker’s collection. Named for its scientific beaker-shaped base, this type of water pipe holds more water, offering increased filtration and smoother pulls. Our beakers range from large, heavy-duty designs to compact and portable baby beakers, all engineered for function and flavor.

Mini Rigs

Looking for big performance in a small package? Our mini rigs are designed for efficiency and potency. These compact bongs are ideal for concentrates and quick sessions, delivering thick, flavorful clouds in a fraction of the space. Don't underestimate their size—mini rigs can rip with the best of them.

Bubblers

Bubblers combine the portability of a dry pipe with the water filtration of a bong. Ideal for on-the-go or casual use, these handy water pipes are simple to use and easy to clean. If you want smoother hits without the bulk of a full-sized bong, a bubbler might be your perfect match.

Straight Tube Bongs

Straight tubes are sleek, simple, and efficient. With a direct path from bowl to mouthpiece, they provide a quick, hard-hitting experience that many enthusiasts love. These water pipes are easy to clear and clean, making them a favorite among daily users.

Each piece is unique, showcasing vibrant colors, intricate designs, and one-of-a-kind features. Collectors and enthusiasts alike appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into every heady piece.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bongs & Water Pipes

What size bong should I choose?
It depends on your lifestyle. If you want something discreet and easy to store, go with a mini rig or baby beaker. For maximum filtration and big rips, a full-sized beaker or straight tube bong is ideal.

Are bongs better than pipes or joints?
Many users prefer bongs because the water filtration cools the smoke and removes particulates, creating a smoother, cleaner experience compared to dry pipes or paper.

How do I clean a bong or water pipe?
Use a mix of isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt. Pour into the piece, shake gently, and rinse with warm water. Frequent cleaning is key to maintaining flavor and airflow, especially for intricate heady bongs and mini rigs.

What is a baby beaker?
A baby beaker is a smaller version of the traditional beaker bong, offering portability and convenience without sacrificing the cooling power of water filtration.

What makes heady glass special?
Heady glass is handmade, often featuring complex colors, sculptural elements, and artistic details. These heady bongs are collectible, functional, and visually stunning.

Can I use a water pipe for concentrates?
Absolutely. While traditional bongs are built for dry herbs, many can be converted for concentrates with the right accessories. For the best results, check out our mini rigs, specifically designed for dabbing.
