A bong screen is a small screen that you place in the bowl before filling it. It prevents smoking material from falling through the hole into the downstem and water. An inconspicuous part – but one that makes the difference between a clean and a clogged draw.
What do I need a bong screen for?
Without a screen, fine crumbs quickly fall through the bowl hole. This clogs the downstem, makes the water dirty faster, and can block the draw. The screen keeps everything in the bowl where it belongs – the smoke draws clean, and cleaning becomes easier.
What kind of bong screens are there?
- Metal screens – inexpensive and reusable, but should be kept clean.
- Glass screens – taste-neutral and durable, often integrated directly into the bowl.
- Brass screens – the classic, flexibly shapeable.
Many high-quality bowls already have a glass screen or multiple holes incorporated – then you don't need an extra screen.
Screen or bowl with integrated screen?
A bowl with an integrated glass screen is the most elegant solution: nothing slips through, nothing needs to be inserted separately, and the taste remains neutral. At EHLE., you'll find bowls with precisely crafted internal screens – buy once, never think about slippage again.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often do I need to change the screen?
Keep metal screens clean and replace them as needed. Glass screens in the bowl can simply be cleaned with it.
Does the screen affect the taste?
Glass and brass screens hardly do. With cheap metal screens, a slight inherent taste may occur initially.
