G’day legends — it’s your mate at The Bong Baron, here to help you level up your next sesh with the perfect glass bong. With so many styles out there — from beaker bongs to percolator bongs, recycler rigs to double chamber beasts — choosing the right setup can feel more overwhelming than deciding what to watch stoned on Netflix.
Don’t stress — we’ve broken it down for you. Whether you’re a smooth-hitter, a cloud chaser, or just starting out, here’s how to match your smoke style with the ideal glass bong (and a few cheeky accessories while you’re at it).
Understanding Your Smoke Style
Before we dive into shapes, sizes, and percs, it helps to know how you like to smoke:
- Quick and punchy hits? You’ll want something that delivers impact with minimal fuss.
- Smooth and flavour-rich draws? Filtration is your friend.
- Big rips with your crew? You’ll need size and stability.
- Solo couch sessions? Compact and easy-to-clean might be the go.
Once you’ve nailed your smoke vibe, it’s way easier to pick the right bong that suits.
Types of Glass Bongs and Who They’re For
There’s no one-size-fits-all here. At The Bong Baron, we stock a huge range of glass bongs — let’s walk you through the main types:
Beaker Bong
Classic. Reliable. Sturdy. The beaker bong is shaped like a science lab flask — wider at the base, so it holds more water and stays stable when things get wild.
Perfect for: Anyone who loves big, bubbling hits and hates knocking over their gear.
Find beaker bongs at The Bong Baron— from basic to boujee.
Percolator Bong
A percolator (or “perc”) is a built-in filter that breaks up the smoke for a cooler, smoother rip. The more percs, the smoother the session — but also the more cleaning you’ll need.
Perfect for: Flavour chasers and anyone who’s ever coughed their guts up after a hot hit.
Recycler Bong
These are next-level — smoke and water continuously loop through chambers for mega filtration. A recycler bong keeps everything cool, smooth, and efficient.
Perfect for: Seasoned smokers who want ultra-smooth hits and a bit of a show.
Straight Tube Bong
As the name says — it’s straight up and down. Less water capacity, but great for quick, no-nonsense rips.
Perfect for: Those who want fast hits without all the bells and whistles.
Double Chamber Bong
Double the water, double the filtration. A double chamber bong gives you extra smoothness by filtering smoke through two separate water sections.
Perfect for: People who love cool hits but don’t want to deal with a bulky recycler.
What Size Bong Should You Choose?
This matters more than most people think. Here’s the lowdown:
- Small (under 25cm): Great for portability and stealth sessions. Ideal for beginners.
- Medium (25–35cm): A solid all-rounder. Enough size for smooth hits, not too hard to clean.
- Large (35cm+): More water, bigger hits. Ideal for home setups and group seshes.
Size also impacts cleaning, airflow, and how much smoke you can comfortably handle. Think about how (and where) you use your bong the most.
Must-Have Bong Accessories
You can have the best bong on the market, but without the right bong accessories, you’re only halfway there.
Cone Piece
The humble cone piece (or bowl) is where it all begins. Opt for high-quality glass, or try one with a built-in screen. Got butter fingers? Metal might be safer.
Ash Catcher
Want to keep your glass bong cleaner for longer? Attach an ash catcher. It stops gunk before it hits your water chamber.
Splash Guard
Especially handy on taller bongs — keeps water from splashing up into your mouth. Yuck.
Weed Grinder
A solid weed grinder means even, fluffy herb that burns smooth and clean. Don’t pack a dodgy bowl with fingers — you’re better than that.

Final Tips from The Bong Baron
- Clean your bong often — dirty bongs kill flavour and harsh your vibe.
- Don’t go too big too soon. If you’re new to bongs, start mid-sized.
- Glass always wins for flavour — treat it right and it’ll last years.
- Mix and match accessories to customise your sessions.
Choosing the right glass bong is all about knowing what kind of session you’re chasing. Whether it’s a smooth-hit percolator bong, a rugged beaker bong, or a showy recycler bong, there’s a perfect setup waiting for you.
