The Height of Bongs: Does Size Really Matter?

When it comes to choosing the perfect bong, size is one of the most debated factors. Whether you’re new to the world of bongs or a seasoned enthusiast, understanding how height impacts your smoking experience can help you make an informed decision. At Shiva Online, we’ve got you covered with everything from compact bongs to towering pieces. Let’s dive into the pros and cons of different bong heights to help you find your perfect match.


Small Bongs (Under 30cm)

Compact and portable, small bongs are a favourite for those who value convenience and ease of use.

Pros:
Portability: Easy to carry, making them ideal for travel or discreet storage.
Quick Hits: Smaller chamber means quicker, more concentrated hits.
Less Water: Requires less water, making setup and cleaning simpler.

Cons:
Less Cooling: Smaller size means smoke has less time to cool, which may result in harsher hits.
Limited Features: Often lacks advanced features like percolators due to limited space.

Medium Bongs (30cm–50cm)

A balanced choice, medium-sized bongs offer the best of both worlds: portability and enhanced performance.

Pros:
Smooth Hits: The added height allows for better smoke cooling.
Versatility: Can include additional features like ice catchers or percolators.
Still Portable: Not as bulky as large bongs, making them manageable for most users.

Cons:
Moderate Cleaning: Slightly more challenging to clean than small bongs.
Less Discreet: Bigger than small bongs, making storage a bit trickier.


Large Bongs (Over 50cm)

For those who want the ultimate smoking experience, large bongs are the way to go.

Pros:
Ultra-Smooth Hits: A longer smoke path cools the smoke significantly, making for smoother, less harsh hits.
Advanced Features: Ample space for multiple percolators, ice catchers, and other enhancements.
Aesthetic Appeal: A stunning centrepiece for any smoking collection.

Cons:
Bulky: Not travel-friendly and requires more storage space.
Cleaning Effort: It can be tricky to clean, especially with intricate designs.
Higher Price: Often more expensive due to their size and added features.
