Bong help

Look for a nice straight glass bong in the 40-60 range for your first one, doesn't matter what brand. As far non-essentials, maybe a nice slide.

 

if it was me i would look at the black leaf on grasscity the one is cheap, has an ashcatcher, making cleaning the actual bong less of a hastle saving you time has a perc to filter smoke through as well as it being a bubble bottom, more like a flask or beaker bottom, which i think is better for milking on cheaper bongs. heard good things about it, nice look pretty decent size/price for a first bone!

Don't go too fancy on your first bong. I hate to say it, but there's a good chance it will get broken/stollen/taken etc.

Stick with something simple, and nothing too tall. You never know when you'll want to pack it up and take it somewhere.

As for accessories, there really isn't much you need. You can always add more pieces as you get used to owning a bong.

Biggest thing will be getting a slide (or bowl) that suits you, and some sort of diffused downstem.

Good luck with bong ownership! It really is awesome

 

First bong?:

-Get a small to medium sized (nobody wants to drag out a couple foot monster bong every time)

-Glass on glass joint set up (not necessary, but usually don't break as easily, seal nicely, and have more aftermarket accessory options)

-Also consider Ice notches (you can always add on a perc, or filter, or ashcatch... but you can't add on an glass ice catch easily.... Also, highly recommended.)

-Decide carb hole/no carb hole (I've been a big fan of the no carb set up).

Brand is up to you, as is everything, even glass thickness if you're careful. I would also say I prefer the tube over the beaker set up, you can usually clear them faster. Get a simple, shorter, GoG tube and you won't regret it.

 

I'll add that you should also think about how easy it is to clean it. Know a lot of dudes with good bongs that look kinda shitty now cause they can't access the percolator or salt grains get stick in the holes. That kinda shit.

 

id look for a simple 10-12inch glass bong, i like beaker base personally. but straight tubes are definatly nice too. and the accessories would put you over your spending limit... sooo probably not.
