When it comes to smoking bongs, there's no better brand than Ehle. With a wide selection of high-quality bongs and bong parts, creating your own bong that perfectly suits your preferences is a breeze.

Bongs have come a long way since their humble beginnings. The earliest bongs were made from clay or bone and used for smoking tobacco or hemp. Today, bongs are made from a variety of materials, including glass, metal, and even plastic. They come in all shapes and sizes and can be adorned with all sorts of colorful designs.

Whether you're using a bong for the first time or you're an old hand, Ehle's bongs are the perfect way to enjoy your favorite herb. Ehle bongs are made from high-quality borosilicate glass and are available in many different designs to meet all needs. From simple straight-tube bongs to complex bongs with percolators, Ehle has something for everyone. 

What are the advantages of a glass bong?

Glass water pipes, commonly referred to as glass bongs, remain extremely popular. Various types of glass as a material for bongs offer different advantages, notably the sophisticated appearance and the possibility for individual customization. Additionally, their resistance to temperature changes, durability with proper care, and in some cases, repairability, distinguish this type of water pipe.

Glass is hygienic, tasteless, and odorless, making it particularly suitable for smoking flavored substances. Accordingly, the processing of the different materials varies. For instance, a metal water pipe cools the smoke less and heats up faster than one made of glass. Therefore, metal pipes should only be used in moderation for smoking. This is because the use of strong tobacco can result in unpleasant flavors due to incorrect dosing. 

Create your glass bong yourself with our bong configurator

When it comes to choosing the perfect bong, you need a bong that fits your preferences and style. With the Ehle bong configurator, you can select all the details of your perfect glass bong, from the type of glass to the shape and size of the chamber. Whether you're looking for something simple or more elaborate, the bong configurator makes it easy to create your ideal bong with just a few clicks.

First, consider what basic shape your bong should have. There are various options available, from round bases to shisha-style, catering to every taste. Once you've chosen a style, decide on the size of your bong, depending on how often you intend to use it and how much smoke you want to draw at once.

Next, select the components of your bong. There are countless variations when ordering bong parts - from customizable mouthpieces and percolators to special attachments and adapters. And don't forget the filters! Filters can greatly contribute to maintaining your bong by keeping particles out of the water chamber.

The basic shape - Round or square base for the bong?

When it comes to the basic shape of bongs, there are two main options: square or round. Both have their advantages, and it really comes down to personal preference. Square bases, typically having a square or hexagonal shape, provide stability. This is particularly important for bongs with uneven shapes, as a hexagonal base can be significantly more stable than a round one.

Round bases or belly bongs, however, are often more aesthetically pleasing and can give your bong a softer look. Ultimately, the choice of base shape best suited to your needs is up to you. Whichever you choose, you're sure to enjoy your bong for years to come!

Glass bong with a belly

Anyone who has ever smoked from a bong knows that the key to a good experience is a bong with plenty of water. This is because the water helps cool the smoke, making it easier on your lungs. But not all bongs are equal when it comes to water capacity. Tube bongs typically hold less water than belly bongs, meaning they offer less cooling power.

For smokers who want the coolest smoke possible, belly bongs are the way to go. Although they are a bit bulkier than tube bongs, the extra water more than makes up for it in terms of smoothness and flavor. So, if you're looking for a bong that offers a truly cool smoking experience, choose a bong with a belly.

Tube bongs

Tube bongs are the standard for a reason - they are easy to use and store. They may not be as exciting as other models on the market, but their simple design makes them a classic choice for many smokers. When it comes to cleaning, tube bongs are a breeze. Just brush them out and pull through, and the dirt is gone. Plus, their straightforward design significantly reduces the likelihood of tipping over compared to their more complicated counterparts. So, if you're looking for a classic smoking experience, a tube bong is just what you need.

Multi-chamber bong

Multi-chamber bongs are bongs with more than one chamber. These bongs often have a greater cooling capacity than single-chamber bongs. However, they can be more difficult to clean. When cleaning a multi-chamber bong, it's important to pay special attention to the bowl and the lower stem. These areas can be hard to reach with a normal cleaning brush. Also, it's important not to use harsh chemicals when cleaning your bong. These chemicals can damage the material and cause it to break down over time. 

The wall thickness - You decide the wall thickness of your bong

The thickness of the bong's walls greatly affects its stability. A bong with thicker walls is less likely to tip over or break if dropped, while a bong with thinner walls may be more prone to damage. This is because thicker walls provide more support and protection for the bong, allowing it to withstand bumps better. So, if you're looking for a bong that will last, opt for one with thick walls. It may be more expensive, but it will pay off in the long run. 

The neck shape of your bong - Straight, bent, or something special?

Once you've decided on the basic shape of your bong, the next step is to choose the shape of the neck. There are two main types of necks - straight and bent. 

Straight neck

A bong with a straight neck is a good choice for those looking for an easy-to-clean and maintain smoking option. Since there are fewer nooks and crannies, it's less likely that residue and deposits will accumulate. Straight necks also have the advantage of allowing you to see the entire bong at all times - making it easier to monitor the burning behavior of the bowl and the water level of the bong. A downside of straight necks is that they are more prone to leaks: If you fill the bong too high or smoke with too much force, water can leak through the kick hole. Overall, however, straight necks are a good choice for those seeking a hassle-free smoking experience. 

Bent neck

Have you ever noticed that most bongs have bent necks? There's a good reason for that! Bent necks make smoking easier. Mainly because you don't have to bend down as far to take a hit. This is especially helpful when you're sitting down. However, cleaning can be a bit more complex. The sharply angled necks make it difficult for the brush to reach every nook and cranny. 

Special shapes

Bongs with multiple bent and angled necks are a real eye-catcher. However, because cleaning them is very complex, they are more likely to be objects for collectors than for regular use.
