Our Picks for the Best Silicone Bongs: Water Pipes That Bounce Back

As you are probably aware, a bong is a type of water pipe used to smoke cannabis. Every bong comes with a small bowl compartment that holds (dried) cannabis. When you ignite the weed, the combustion process begins. However, before you inhale, the smoke goes through a water chamber that cools it down before it meets your mouth.

This filtration system is the main reason why many smokers prefer a bong to smoking a joint, or even vaping. Of course, there are many other reasons why a bong may be the preferred cannabis vessel. For example, smoking with a bong is economical (less weed is required for impact), and the right bong can enhance cannabis flavors significantly.

Most bongs are made of glass, but more options are appearing on the horizon. Bongs made of silicone provide a non-toxic, durable, and flexible vessel for cannabis smoking, as well as a highly portable method for smoking whilst out-and-about.

One of the main complaints that classic glass bong smokers may have about silicone bongs is that they are not tall enough. With the Eyce Tall Silicone Beaker, you will not have any complaints about bong height (😉) – this one stands at 12 inches tall.

It’s also worth noting that this bong comes with a beautiful design that mimics its glass counterparts. For your convenience, the Eyce Tall Silicone Beaker also comes with built-in compartments to ensure that your accessories will never be lost when you’re on the road. It also comes with a magnetic lighter holder – somewhat of a rarity among silicone bongs.

Unbreakable, extremely portable, and available in various colors (including glow-in-the-dark), the Habit Supply silicone water pipe deserves a spot on this list.

Along with its light and portable build, it also features a suction-cup base. Pair that with unbreakable silicone, and you’ve got a bong suitable for even the clumsiest smoker.

The PieceMaker KaliGo has a pretty unique appearance, as far as bongs go. With a wide stem and square edges, it doesn’t look like any of the other silicone bong options on this list.

This difference is reflected on the inside of the bong just, as much as on the outside. It has a honeycomb-shaped downstream trajectory that results in above-average bubble generation. A stainless-steel bowl piece makes this bong virtually indestructible. No need to worry about any glass components.

The KaliGo is an improvement over its predecessor, the Kali Bong, which was itself a bestseller. Overall, it’s great for anyone who isn’t tied to the idea of having a conventional-looking bong.

To clean a silicone bong, you have a few options:

• Boiling water – If you place boiling water in your silicone bong, it will remove the stuck-on muck throughout the piece. Just be careful not to spill any on yourself.
• Soaking – Silicone bongs should only be soaked in hot water and dish soap. It’s not recommended you use solvents on silicone, such as alcohol.
• Hand Washing – Take a scrubby brush dosed in soapy hot water and place it through the downstem or mouthpiece.

Some brands featured here may also offer a silicone cleaner. These are advisable if you’re new to smoking cannabis.
