Bongs are a perfect way to smoke with water filtration.
With a compact and discreet profile, small bongs can be as easy to carry as a pipe while effectively cooling off your hits. Plus, small bongs tend to be cheaper, easier to clean, and more resilient than large bongs.
Larger bongs are a great option when portability isn’t a deciding factor. There’s nothing like an ultra-smooth hit that only a 2-foot bong tube bong can provide - provided you have the space for it!
Here are the best bongs in 2023 to add to your collection.
