I got a piggy bank im going to break soon with alot of money saved up in it, i want a smooth bong with enough filtration that i can do large hits. I prefer something thick and sturdy too
I suggest HiSi Bongs, I bought one for 320 recently and it is a great bong smooth large hits and it is super thick glass Waterpipes, glass pipes, HiSi Labs
Your best bet is a glass bong that has at LEAST an ash catcher, minimum 1 percolator, and space to put ice in it. If you have space in a fridge, get a bong with liquid coils. Pop that baby in the fridge and let the coil freeze then toke away.
I'd check out mobius man they've got such smooth pieces for around your price range. Maybe look at some roors if you know they're legit. Don't get a bong too big with too many percs, that'll just have a shit ton of drag. A good piece only need one or two good percs.
