Now, obviously there are differences between glass on glass(GonG) and Grommet style bongs. What do you think are the pros and cons of each of these types of bongs? Feel free to post pictures of your bongs along with your opinions! Grommet style: Glass on glass:
I say grommet... imagine your joint breaks? Then what? loads to get it fixed or just buy a new one.... Grommet stem breaks... just grab a new one for like 2 bucks.
Now guys, sometimes the fit on GonG is so tight that when you pull the slider, the downstem comes with it, resulting in a shattered downstem. I know, it has happened to me multiple times. But it's nothing a keck clip or a little bit of tape can't solve. GonG all the way.
I prefer gong. My brother, who believes he can drill a hole in any piece of glass, put a grommet inside and call it a bong would seriously disagree. In his opinion, anything not made by hand is vastly inferior to hand made, even machine made bongs. Each to their own said the ol lady as she kissed the cow....
That shouldn't happen if u keep your joints dry, don't have resin gooping all over, and dont slam the bowl piece in when u put it back. Or if u can't do that,,,,, get a k clip? Those things are dope and only a couple bucks Gong is unmeasurably better then grommet
Just get a keck clip or be more careful haha but that does occasionally happen you just gotta watch and not pull the slide out too fast.
