Are Silicone Bongs A Better Choice?

For the longest time, bongs came in ceramic or glass - very fragile materials prone to easy breakage. Many users have admitted to replacing their glass bongs up to twice a year, which is a very costly affair. Cleaning a glass bong is also strenuous and very time-consuming. To top it off, traditional glass bongs are prone to cracking or breaking with temperature changes.

Enter silicone bongs. They have revolutionalized the industry in a big way. They pack a variety of benefits, which has seen them become a popular choice among most users. We understand that it is normal to be wary of purchasing anything new before you fully understand its benefits, which we will discuss below.

  1. Durable

Silicone is a synthetic polymer material that is considered a hybrid between rubber and plastic, making it relatively stable, heat and chemical resistant. Compared to glass, a silicone bong is an ideal item for a clumsy smoker as they cannot break.  This means that it will serve for a long period before you have to get another one.  Additionally, they are the best to use when you have parties.

  1. Portable

Due to its flexible composition, you can move around with your silicone bong and have a smoke wherever you like. Some silicone bongs are designed to roll up, making them very discreet when on the move. Consequently, they are the safest type of bong to use when you need to travel. They also come in a lightweight material. Compared to glass, which is bulky and too delicate to carry around, I'd say you have a winner with the silicone bong.

  1. Easy to clean

Due to its flexibility, it is easier to clean a silicone bong than a glass one. Silicone bongs are made from food-grade silicone, which means they can be thrown into the dishwasher when they need cleaning. However, it is advisable to wash them separately from the other dishes. The best part about it is, most of the silicone bongs come in removable parts, making it easy to reach every nook and cranny.

  1. Cool and trendy designs

Glass bongs are sleek, but silicone bongs come in a variety of funky colors to chose from. There is no limit to the designs you can print on them and the shapes you can mold them into, which is quite attractive for people who love color and art.

  1. Silicone bongs don't alter the taste

Many people tend to be reserved about silicone bongs out of fear that the material will alter the taste of whatever they are smoking. They don't have any taste. What you will taste is the herb you are smoking.

  1. Heat resistant

Silicone is heat resistant up to 600°F, which is twice the degree of boiling water. Yet, it does not degrade or leak toxins with heat.  Also, if you accidentally expose silicone to heat or flames, it is unlikely to get damaged.

Silicone is an inert material meaning it doesn't react to most chemicals and is non-toxic as a material, so you are rest assured you are smoking nothing else other than the herb in the bong. When it comes to selecting the right bong, chose one that you know is safe and could serve you longer, and it will be worth every buck you spend on it.
