Today was an exciting day with a few new brands landing and I spent all day unboxing! NWTN Home is a home wares 420 lifestyle brand. They have been around for about a decade with a goal of providing highly functional smoke ware that can be showcased in your home decor. In their own words ""Home-ware for the high-minded". Meticulous and sophisticated design in a wide array of colours. I am obsessed!
GRAVITY BONG!
This is the latest design from NWTN, the all new Bollo Range. The bulbous design has been inspired by the Memphis Design Movement, a radical group formed by Ettore Sottsass in Milan to rebel against the minimalistic and functional standards of the 1970's. They focussed on combining the geometry found within art deco design and the vibrant colours within 1950's pop art to create a vibrant classical vintage aesthetic.
Made entirely from durable handblown borosilicate glass, the design is fairly simple with 6 flattened bubbles, one upon the other. The flower bowl is a smaller bubble sitting right on top. 3 pieces total (4 if you count the silicone gasket) that slot one upon the other enabling the gravity effect. Basically you lift and lower the inner core to help "push" smoke upwards enabling a pretty easy inhale. You need not place your lips near the opening as smoke will flow out allowing you to sip it out of the air. Think of a bucket bong and this is a more refined process.
This is a piece that you should place on display as no one need know its true function if you want to keep secrets. The coloured glass will look incredible in full light.
Measuring: Just over 21cms and 9cms in diameter.

What is a gravity bong?
A unique take on a bong that should provide a rather intense plume of smoke when used appropriately. They are not used just as you would a standard bong and there is a small learning curve at first but it is relatively easy to master. They work via water displacement and air pressure to forcefuly move smoke out of a chamber ready for inhalation. There are 2 main chambers used, with the larger one at the base containing water and a smaller chamber nestled within. Lifting out this inner chamber will start the pocess and the dynamics of negative air pressure (vacuum effect) will do the rest.
Does a gravity bong provide filtration?
Yes, but if we are being technical then not really. Smoke and water will briefly interact but as there is no diffusion offered in the design it will be quite minimal. Diffusion comes in the form of a slitted down stem or a fixed percolator, neither are provided within most standard gravity bongs.
Is a bubbler hard to clean?
There aren't many styles of bong that are easier to clean than a standard gravify fed design. 3 individual components are the standard that can be dismantled with no effort on your part. Wide openings allow for easy access all the way deep into the base. As per usual i recommend 99% pure Isopropyl Alcohol as an appropriate cleaning agent.
