Top 5 Bong Accessories You Didn’t Know You Needed!
You’ve got your bong. You’ve got your herb. Life’s good… or so you think.
But what if I told you there are upgrades that can take your sesh to a whole new level? We're talking smoother hits, flavor boosts, and an all-around elevated experience. If you're still using just the basics, here are 5 underrated bong accessories that’ll change the way you smoke — for real.
1. Glass Screen: A Small Addition for Big Benefits
If you’re tired of getting ash and resin in your mouth or clogging up your bowl, a glass screen is a must-have accessory. This simple addition sits at the bottom of your bowl and prevents debris from being sucked into your bong while allowing the smoke to pass through freely. It helps maintain a clean bong and offers a smoother smoking experience by ensuring that only smoke enters your lungs.
Why You Need It:
- Prevents clogs in the bowl.
- Reduces the amount of resin buildup inside the bong.
- Makes for a cleaner, tastier hit.
2. Ash Catcher: Keep Your Bong Cleaner, Longer
Tired of your bong water turning disgusting after just a few hits? An ash catcher is a small attachment that traps ash before it even reaches your bong, giving you:
- Cleaner water
- Less gunk buildup
- Smoother hits
One of the most annoying aspects of smoking from a bong is dealing with the dirty water after a session. An ash catcher helps solve this problem by collecting ash, tar, and other residue before it has a chance to get into the bong’s water chamber. Ash catchers come in different designs, such as inline or showerhead, and are easy to clean, which means your bong stays cleaner for longer without sacrificing smoke quality.
Why You Need It:
- Protects your bong from ash and debris.
- Keeps your water cleaner, meaning less frequent cleaning.
- Adds an extra layer of filtration for smoother hits.
3. Diffuser Downstem: For Smoother, Cooler Hits
A diffuser downstem is an upgraded version of your standard downstem. It has slits or holes at the end, which causes the smoke to be broken up into smaller bubbles as it passes through the water. This filtration process cools down the smoke and makes each hit smoother. If you enjoy big, thick clouds but want them to feel smooth and cool, a diffuser downstem is the accessory for you.
Why You Need It:
- Adds extra filtration for smoother, cooler hits.
- Increases bubble surface area for better smoke diffusion.
- Helps reduce harshness in the throat and lungs.
4. Glass Cone Pieces (Bowls) – The Flavor Gamechanger
While it might seem basic, a high-quality glass cone piece can significantly improve your sesh. Glass enhances flavor, provides smoother airflow, and is easier to clean than metal bowls.
Ditch that old metal piece and upgrade to glass. Not only will you get cleaner hits, but your bong will also look sleek and stylish.
Gong Bong has a wide selection of glass cone pieces—everything from classic clear to vibrant, colorful designs.
5. Cleaning Kit: Keep Your Bong in Pristine Condition
No one wants to hit a grimy, resin-filled bong. Resin buildup not only ruins flavor but also clogs airflow and makes your gear unpleasant to use.
A proper cleaning kit should include:
- Isopropyl alcohol or a specialized bong cleaner
- Pipe cleaners and brushes
- Plugs for sealing while you shake
A clean bong equals a better, more enjoyable sesh every single time.
Why You Need It:
- Keeps your bong clean and free of resin buildup.
- Ensures fresh, clean-tasting hits every time.
- Makes the cleaning process easier and faster.
🧠 Bonus: Glass Screens
These small mesh or glass inserts sit in your cone piece, preventing ash from falling into your bong. They’re a total gamechanger for smoother pulls and cleaner water.
🎯 Final Hit
Your bong setup isn’t complete without these essential accessories. From cleaner water to smoother, cooler hits, these simple upgrades will take your sesh from "meh" to "yo, this hits different."
