About Glass Bongs

A bong is a device that used to smoke tobaccos.  The bong is sealed and usually half filled with water. A bowl is placed on the end of the bong, and a pipe goes into the bong under the water level.  There is another pipe goes into the bong through the end and above the water level. 

History of Bongs 

In the history of tobaccos use, Bong was the most popular and beloved device that used for smoking.  The word ‘bong’ was derived from the Thai word ‘baung’, which means a cylindrical wooden tube, pipe, or container cut from bamboo stem.  During the Vietnam War, five American military bases were located in Thailand.  This caused the adaptation of the Thai word.  Later on, the word ‘baung’ was transformed into ‘bong’ and brought back to America by the troops.  However, the bong was not invented in Thailand, even not in Asia.  It was actually invented in Africa. 

Bong Materials

As the bong is a very simple device.  It can be made from nearly anything that is at least semi-rigid and can be made airtight.  This includes bamboo, soda-pop cans, plastic bottles, buckets, vases, beer bottles, hollow plastic, even apples and potatoes.  However, bongs purchased are usually made out of plastic, ceramic, wood, and glass.  Among them, bongs made of glasses are the safest ones.  Aside from those, some bongs are made from metal stems and bowls, which are sold in a very cheap price.
