My acrylic bong works great! I don't want another glass bong cause somehow they always end up broken. Usually not even by me. It's a bitch to clean though, i barely clean it. But it really doesn't make a difference i usually just give it a quick rinse after every use.
DITTO Gotta go with glass.. I'd say absolutely bong (or anything with water) over a spoon.. BUT glass over acrylic every time. If you can't afford a glass piece, then save your money or buy a cheaper glass piece.
