Water bongs are popular smoking devices that use water filtration to cool and purify smoke before inhalation. They’re known for delivering smoother, more flavorful hits compared to dry pipes or joints. Bongs come in a wide variety of styles, sizes, and materials—each offering a unique smoking experience.

Mouthpiece – The part you place your mouth on to inhale.

Chamber – The main body where smoke accumulates before it’s inhaled.

Bowl – The piece where you pack your herb (or insert a banger for concentrates).

Downstem – A small tube that connects the bowl to the water; it directs smoke into the base.

Base – The bottom section that holds water for filtration.

Carb Hole (if applicable) – A small hole you cover while inhaling, then release to clear the chamber.

Percolator(optional) – An extra filter that diffuses smoke through water for even smoother hits.

Ice Catcher(in some styles) – Holds ice to cool the smoke further.

1. Fill the base with enough water to cover the downstem.
2. Pack your bowl with flower (or heat your banger for concentrates).
3. Place your lips on the mouthpiece and ignite the flower while inhaling slowly.
4. Once the chamber fills with smoke, pull the bowl (or release the carb) and inhale the contents.

Flower is the dried herb that’s ground and packed into the bowl. It provides a more traditional, full-bodied experience.

Concentrates like wax or shatter are used with a dab rig or a bong fitted with a quartz banger. Dabbing gives a more potent hit and cleaner vapor, ideal for seasoned smokers.

Clean gear = better flavor, smoother hits, and a longer-lasting piece. Resin and gunk can build up fast, especially with heavy use, but keeping your bong or pipe fresh is easy with the right routine and a few simple tools.

🔄 How Often Should You Clean?

Bongs (with water): Clean every 2–4 uses or when the water gets cloudy.

Dab Rigs (for concentrates): Clean after every sesh to preserve flavor and prevent sticky residue.

Glass Pipes/One-Hitters: Clean weekly or when airflow gets restricted.

Silicone Gear: Clean as needed—usually once a week. Silicone is super easy to wash!

🧽 Step-by-Step: Cleaning a Glass Bong or Pipe

What You'll Need:
* Isopropyl alcohol (91% or higher is best)
* Coarse salt (like sea salt or Epsom salt)
* Resealable plastic bags (for small pieces)
* Cotton swabs or pipe cleaners
* Warm water

For Bongs:
* Empty the water and remove the bowl and downstem.

* Add alcohol and salt to the base—this acts as a solvent + scrub combo.
* Plug the holes (use rubber stoppers or your hands), then shake vigorously for 30–60 seconds.
* For the bowl and downstem, place them in a ziplock with alcohol and salt and shake gently.
* Use cotton swabs or pipe cleaners for any stubborn spots.
* Rinse everything thoroughly with warm water and let air dry.

For Glass Pipes:
* Place the pipe in a resealable bag with alcohol and salt.
* Shake gently for a minute or two.
* Rinse with warm water and scrub tight spots if needed.

Cleaning Silicone Bongs & Pipes
* Most silicone pieces are dishwasher safe—just remove any glass parts first.
* Or wash with warm water and mild dish soap.
* No need for harsh chemicals; silicone doesn’t hold onto residue the same way glass does.

Bonus Tips:
* Change your bong water daily for fresh flavor and smoother hits.
* Use ash catchers or screens to reduce debris in your main chamber.
* Keep a bottle of Toke Boxx cleaning solution (or isopropyl + salt) ready to go for easy maintenance.

✨ Clean Gear = Happy Smoke

At Toke Boxx, we want your pieces to last and your sessions to stay smooth. Whether you're using a sleek percolator bong, a hand pipe, or a travel-ready silicone piece, proper cleaning keeps your gear looking great and hitting even better.Need cleaning tools or kits? We’ve got those stocked in our accessories section – because we believe a clean sesh is a good sesh.

At Toke Boxx, we understand every smoker has a preference—so we carry a full lineup of styles and materials to meet every vibe and lifestyle.

1. Glass Water Bongs

Classic and elegant. Glass bongs offer pure flavor, are easy to clean, and often feature stunning craftsmanship. They come in straight tube, beaker base, and recycler styles for different airflow and aesthetic preferences.

2. Dab Rigs

Designed specifically for concentrates, dab rigs are compact and made for flavor. They usually come with a quartz banger instead of a bowl and provide smoother, tastier dabs with minimal waste.

3. Percolator Bongs

These are enhanced with one or more percs—filters that break up the smoke into bubbles for max cooling. They’re perfect for those who love ultra-smooth, filtered hits.
Types include: Tree Perc, Honeycomb, Showerhead, and Matrix.

4. Glycerin Coil Bongs

Freeze the glycerin coil for the coolest smoke imaginable—literally. These bongs give icy smooth rips without watering down flavor. Great for sensitive lungs or just elevating your sesh.

5. Silicone Bongs & Pipes

Virtually unbreakable, travel-friendly, and easy to clean. Silicone pieces are great for on-the-go or clumsy smokers. Toke Boxx offers vibrant colors and fun designs with the same great function as glass.

6. Hand Glass Pipes

Simple, portable, and timeless. These pipes don’t require water and are perfect for quick tokes. Choose from spoon pipes, chillums (one-hitters), and steamrollers in beautiful glass designs.

7. Bubblers

The perfect hybrid between a bong and a pipe. Bubblers are smaller than bongs but still have a water chamber for smoother hits—making them great for casual or travel use.

8. Ice Bongs

Equipped with ice notches to hold cubes, ice bongs cool down smoke for a frosty smooth inhale. Combine that with a percolator for next-level comfort.

Percolator bongs (or "percs") take your smoke sesh to the next level by delivering cooler, cleaner, and smoother hits. The percolator is an extra filtration feature built inside the bong that breaks up smoke into tiny bubbles—cooling it down and filtering out harshness before it hits your lungs.

Different styles of percs offer unique airflow, drag resistance, and aesthetic appeal. Here are the most popular types we carry at Toke Boxx:

🌿 Tree Perc
