When you search for bongs on the internet, you’ll usually see ones made out of glass and silicone. Acrylic bongs may pop up, but ceramic bongs are a rarity. However, these bongs are not getting the exposure that they deserve. Let’s have a close look at these bongs and how to use them properly for your sesh.
This smoking piece is rumored to date back more or less 3,000 years, with its origins in Africa. It was the preferred material for smoking because of its several features. One is its high melting point. You can heat that bong up with your long, heavy sessions, and it’s still good for more. The hardness is also excellent. If you get a good-quality ceramic bong like our Purple Ceramic Coffee Cup Bong with Sip Puff Pass Motif, you’ll immediately notice that it’s got a good, solid feel to it.
These ceramic bongs often come with metal downstems and herb slides to complement the durability of the ceramic bong. Although it’s not as indestructible as a silicone bong, it’s not going to break as easily as glass.
A ceramic bong has its own style and flair that makes them a hot item for collectors.
These bongs are more of artisan types. If glass bongs are for scientific designs, ceramic bongs give more room for artistic representation. The material provides the artist with more freedom to create designs that can be difficult to achieve with glass. The density allows the maker to use bold, striking colors that can be hard to achieve with glass. You can get fun and funky styles like the Rick and Morty Hand Glazed Ceramic Diffused Downstem Bong with Metal Bowl.
Ceramic bongs often come with a glaze that gives it a brilliance that almost rivals that of glass. If you love the opacity of a silicone bong, but prefer the shine you get from glass, then you should get a ceramic bong. Isn’t glaze toxic? Rest assured that the glaze used in making these bongs are safe. You won’t taste it in your hits, no matter how long you use the ceramic bong.
When it comes to functionality, ceramic bongs can give satisfying sessions. They do taste better than metal and acrylic bongs, but they’re not as smooth as glass. It can have a bit of resistance to it compared to glass because of the nature of the design.
Also, these bongs don’t have any percs added to them. Unless you’ve got a diffuser downstem, you’ve got a pretty basic bong in your hands. It’s hard to put a perc inside a bong shaped like a skull, a woman, or even a goblin!
A ceramic bong has a different type of functionality compared to others.
