Glass bong on a budget?

neither if you want to get something cheap go to a headshop so you can actually see what you are paying for. because for that low of a price its going to be Janky.

i would just save up and get something better.

 

How skilled are you with tools? If you obtain a glass drill bit and the pieces required, you can turn any glass bottle into a bong. It's nice because it always is a good conversation starter, and I will never have to go buy another bong again.

 

im not sure what your budget is, but if you're looking at that blaze you're willing to drop $50ish on a piece.. look at this EHLE Glass - Bent Neck (Low) Clear Cylinder Bong - 250ml - Online Shop same price, better quality, and something you can be proud of. plus this will give you a solid piece to start building a collection on.

 

yeah that blaze glass piece or the ehle above me would both hit plenty smooth

 

that blaze will hit like shit compared to that ehle... the tree looks horrid and draggy as hell. you simply cannot compare the 2. if i were to buy another piece and had a $100 budget id go with the EHLE.. they have 100ml tubes as well that are a bit cheaper in price, but you're going to get the same quality. go with the Ehle, you'll thank me later.

 

EHLE ftw.

 

It's hard to go wrong with an EHLE 250ml, I recommend the same tube for anyone looking for something in that price range. Pick up a glass screen though, their stock bowls have a huge hole

 

How about this Weed Star bong. It's not a straight tube.
It has ice notches and a diffuser.

If your on that kinda budget id get a pipe thats of decent quality instead

 

Percs are nice, but on a $50 bong they could be a liability more than a smoother hit. Straight tubes might not be your thing, but the way they clear compared to a beaker is preferable to some. They require less water and aren't thinned out at the base like a beaker bottom.
I can see why you want a bong that your happy with aesthetically, and that was actually one of the reasons I was steering away from the EHLE before I bought one (preferred the beaker look), but seriously the quality for the price you pay is hard to beat on your budget.

EDIT: Look into the HVY Mini Beaker

 

For a bong under $100 I'd say the EHLE 250ml or the HVY Mini Beaker are the two standouts. I have that exact bong you linked, and like I said I was holding out for a beaker bottom before I decided on the EHLE. I wouldn't stand so strongly behind it if I didn't think it was a quality piece man, it's a no nonsense gong bong for a fair price.

 

lol i would not recommend a product that i dont stand by.. ehle makes a damn good piece for the price! there is no comparison in the price range really. set a price you want to spend + $20 for shipping. lets say you're gonna drop a bill. get the ehle 250ml. g-spot diffuser and molino teardrop a/c total with shipping $108.31. which is going to be a hell of a setup if i say so myself, not top shelf by any means but nothing to scoff at either.

 

I vote you make your own. There are many articles on how to do it and it really cuts down on cost. Carbide drill bits aren't very expensive and are good enough. Just buy a stem from your local shop and stop by Goodwill for a vase. However, I have yet to see an article on here that reccomends running the vase under water during the drilling. Second piece of advice is to not permanently attach the stem. That is a great way to break it, and subsequently the bong. I recommend using cork around the stem because it is natural, airtight and removable. Good luck!

 

if your looking to get a bong in the $70-$100 price range i would say that EHLE is the best brand that meets that price range. I own a 18in EHLE straight tube that hits like a beast. I dont know how big of a bong you are looking for but i would get one a little taller than 10in personally. Some of the EHLE's near $100 are really thick quality glass that can easily be compared to the quality of brands like RooR and SYN etc

 

if you have your heart set on a beaker bottom EHLE has a few with 3.2mm glass

Personally I would go with a taller bong with thicker glass but everyones different and idk what your situation is like

EHLE also offers some custom bongs around $100 that are pretty cool looking. They are also taller (14.6in) but I dont think they make custom beakers

Personally I would pay more for a thicker tube and would suggest getting a bong of 5mm+ thickness

Hopefully ur as baked as I am and dont mind reading that paragraph LOL
