Thicker glass isnt necessarily a good thing,it depends on who is making the product,but id never buy a bong online. A glass piece needs to be able to be inspected visually,and of course you wanna know how it feels.Get a glass on glass one. It doesnt have to be a roor, or phx or some other big brand name to be good. like str8 said,look for stability,thats the first thing I look for you dont wanna knock over that bad boy easily,next look at the where the neck and base are connected and look for obvious weaknesses.The rest is all about feel,how does it feel in your hands. The last bong i got was made by a local glass blower its around 13 inches tall and I like it,it does its job. id never pay 140-160 for a bong or any piece for that matter unless it was completely custom and hand made by someone I knew was really awesome. Try and go to a local shop they generally get their stuff from local blowers,at least here in Sacramento they do.:jointsmile:
Ub3rB0ng Reviewed by Ub3rB0ng on . I want to buy my first real bong but no idea where to start! I'm currently 22 and have been smoking since I was 16! I've smoked out of cans, bowls, pipes, gbs, waterfalls, bongs (roor,pure,illidelph). I currently own an acrylic bong and I'm tired of smoking my weed out of it. My budget is 140-160 for a nice glass bong. I don't want a super tall one just a nice glass one that's convinent for around the apartment. I'm currently looking at a roor little sista...anyone have any ideas for me!? Thanks in advance for any help. Rating: 5
