#1
Best for Price: 17" Octopus Perc Beaker
You get a lot of bong for the money here. It’s a 17" borosilicate beaker with an octopus perc, a magnetic lighter holder so your lighter never walks off, a matching octopus bowl and a diffuser downstem. It’s ready to rip right out of the box.
#2
Best Overall: 24" Wildwood Triple Chamber
If you want one bong that does it all, this is it. Thick 7mm glass, three chambers, two 8-arm tree percs and a built-in ice catcher cool and filter every hit. At 24" it pulls big and still stays smooth.
#3
Best for Easy Cleaning: 15" Beaker Base Bong
This is a back-to-basics beaker with no percs or extra chambers, so cleaning it takes minutes. The built-in ice pinches still cool your hits, and the beaker base keeps it steady on the table.
#4
Best for Smooth Hits: Red Eye Glass 15" Day Glow
Pack the built-in ice pinches with a few cubes and every rip comes out cooler and smoother. At 15", the borosilicate tube gives the smoke plenty of room to cool on the way up, so even big hits go down easy.
#5
Best Showpiece: Red Eye Tek 16" Terminator Zag
The metallic Terminator finish turns heads before you even light up. Underneath the looks are a 3-arm perc and a longer chamber that cool your smoke on the way up.
#6
Best for Maximum Filtration: Gear Premium 11" Outcycler
The Outcycler runs your smoke through water more than once before it reaches your lips. That means cooler, cleaner hits with better flavour, from a bubbler small enough for the coffee table.
#7
Best for Big Clouds: Jerome Baker 16" Straight Base
A straight tube clears fast, so you can pack a big hit and empty it in one pull. The ice catcher cools things down, the rounded mouthpiece sits comfortably on your lips and the K clip keeps it all locked together.
#8
Best for Travel: Glow in the Dark Gas Mask Bong
The acrylic steamroller is tough and light, so it packs a lot easier than glass for a camping trip or a night at a buddy’s place. Strap it on and the sealed eye covers keep the smoke in the mask. It glows in low light too.
#9
Best for Small Spaces: Red Eye Glass 10" Little Bro
At 10", the Little Bro fits on a nightstand or tucks into a drawer, and you still get real water-filtered hits. The cone pull-out makes it quick to clean between sessions.
#10
Best for Cold Hits: Red Eye Glass 6.5" Arctic Liquid Bubbler
Freezable glycerine sits in a double-walled chamber, so an hour in the freezer gets you ice-cold hits for hours with no ice needed. Just empty the water out first. If there’s no time to freeze it, the built-in perc still keeps things cool.
#11
Best for Collectors: Red Eye Glass 7.5" Sips O’ Citrus
It’s styled like a classic cocktail glass with citrus details, and it starts a conversation every time. It looks great on a shelf and still hits like a proper water pipe.
#12
Best 9mm Bong: Red Eye Glass 15" 9mm Thick Beaker
9mm thick glass is seriously heavy duty, so this one is built for daily use and the odd bump. The beaker base holds plenty of water, and the ice catcher keeps hits cool and smooth.
#13
Best Glow in the Dark: Red Eye Glass 15" Lost in Space
The space-themed decals glow when the lights go down, which makes this one a blast for late-night sessions. It’s 15" of borosilicate glass with an ice catcher for cooler hits.

How to Choose a Bong
Size
Under 10" is easy to stash, clean and carry around the house, like the Little Bro. Somewhere in the 14" to 18" range suits most people, with enough water and chamber for smooth hits without being a pain to handle. Go 20" and up, like the Wildwood, if you want big sessions and long pulls.
Glass Thickness
Thicker glass handles bumps and knocks a lot better. A 9mm piece is heavy duty and built for daily use, but it’s also heavier to pick up and pour out. If you’re hard on your gear, thicker is worth it.
Percs and Ice Catchers
A perc breaks your smoke into tiny bubbles for smoother hits, but it adds a bit of drag and one more spot to clean. Ice pinches cool your hits without adding drag. Want even more filtration? Add an ash catcher and it keeps your water cleaner too.
Bowls and Downstems
Most bongs take a 14mm bowl, but check your joint size before you grab a spare bong bowl or downstem. A new bowl is the cheapest way to make an old bong feel new.
Budget
A basic beaker gets you clean, simple hits for not a lot of money. Spend more and you’re paying for thicker glass, percs, extra chambers and finishes that stand out on the shelf.

FAQs
A simple beaker like the Red Eye Glass 15" Beaker Base Bong. It’s stable, easy to clean and has no percs to figure out.
For most people, 14" to 18" is the sweet spot. Go smaller if you’re tight on space or want something easy to hide, and bigger if you want huge rips.
They do make hits smoother, but they add drag and take more cleaning. If you want cooler hits without the extra work, a bong with ice pinches is a good middle ground.
Change the water after every session. If you smoke daily, give it a proper deep clean about once a week to keep it hitting and tasting right.
