FAQ Bongs

1. What kind of water should I use in my bong?

Tap water’s fine, but filtered or distilled water gives cleaner hits and leaves less mineral buildup. Some people even toss in ice cubes for extra chill.

2. How old do I have to be to buy a bong?

You must be 18+. All Aussie retailers are required to verify age before selling smoking accessories.

3. What’s the best kind of bong to get?

Glass is king for taste and smoothness, but silicone’s unbreakable and easy to clean. Acrylic’s cheap and cheerful if you’re on a budget.

4. Do percolators actually make a difference?

Yep. Percolators break smoke into smaller bubbles, cooling and filtering it better. More percs = smoother but slightly more drag when you pull.

5. How do I clean my bong properly?

Use isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt, shake it up, rinse with hot water, and you’re good. Regular cleaning keeps it fresh and hits smooth.

6. Can I travel with my bong?

Brand-new bongs are fine. Used ones can be considered “drug paraphernalia,” so don’t risk flying with them unless completely clean. Always check each destinations laws first before traveling.

7. How does online bong shipping work?

Most Aussie stores, like We Are Lux, ship discreetly — plain packaging, no labels, adult signature on delivery. Orders usually arrive within a few days.

8. Are there fake or low-quality bongs around?

Absolutely. Stick to trusted Aussie headshops, like We Are Lux, that sell genuine brands and thick borosilicate glass — not thin, cheap knockoffs. When in doubt, always inquire via email or phone.

9. What’s the best bong for beginners?

Start simple: a straight tube or beaker bong with no fancy percs. They’re easy to use, clean, and tough to break.

10. What’s the difference between a bong and a bubbler?

Bubblers are basically mini-bongs — they use water for smoother hits but are smaller and easier to handle. Bongs hit harder and usually have removable parts like a bowl and stem.

FAQ Bongs

Bongs FAQ - Everything You Need to Know

What Are Bongs and How Do They Work?

Bongs are popular smoking devices that filter and cool smoke through water before inhalation. This method not only enhances the smoking experience but also helps to remove some harmful particles found in smoke. When the smoker inhales, the smoke travels down the stem and bubbles through the water, creating a smoother inhalation process. Therefore, bongs can be easier on the lungs compared to other smoking methods, making them a preferred choice for many users.

Different Types of Bongs

There are various types of bongs available, ranging from traditional glass bongs to more modern materials like silicone and acrylic. Glass bongs are favored for their aesthetic appeal and superior filtration, but they can be fragile. On the other hand, silicone bongs are durable and portable, making them great for travel. Each type has unique features that cater to different preferences. Because of this variability, it's essential to choose a bong that suits your lifestyle and smoking habits.

Maintenance and Care for Your Bong

Proper maintenance is crucial for ensuring the longevity of your bong and the quality of your smoking experience. Regular cleaning helps to prevent resin build-up, which can affect taste and airflow. You can clean your bong with isopropyl alcohol and salt, shaking it gently to remove residue. Many people forget this part, but seasoned users know that clean bongs offer a much better experience. Therefore, dedicate some time regularly to care for your bong to keep it in top shape.
