haha shit we've all made those ghetto bongs, youll move up eventually. when you have the dough, get yourself a nice illadelph beaker and a 6 or 8 arm downstem to go along with it, costs about $415 but you could easily haggle them down to about 350 im sure, just gotta know your shit. i guarantee theres plenty of local blowers around you too, dont hesitate to visit as many headshops as you can, youd be amazed how much prices tend to vary.

Lolz pplz that is not 38 USD that is 38 euros or pounds I believe so somewhere around 1.25x the USD. Better than it used to be at least damn euro.

Damn I type slow it was only a couple resposes when I 1st read it, Ohh it was that bowl I smoked in between typing and posting it ahahahaa

So they don't have head shops where ur at seems like it would be a pain to buy it online I'm to impatient to wait for that unless there is no other way to get it, I got my 1st bong down at venice beach, Back when jerome baker 1st started makin shit.

After buying a quality (thick pyrex) bong, i will never buy a cheap one again.

It feels solid and doesn't feel weak, or fragile.

Most of the times i smashed bongs by accidentally knocking it on the sink.
The better quality ones are much stronger and can take more of a knock without damage.

a cheap bong imo is 100bucks. a good bong 200-300.. a bong to flaunt & brag about 300-1000. :)


Now let me get back to smoking out of my $3 metal pipe.

this is my dream bong
http://www.highpriorityglass.com/brands-a-e/ak-purple-prospect-w-toon-millie-ring/

it is a work of art, it goes past just being a pipe
the amount of work in this little guy is just mind boggling
every little design is called a millie.. and every millie took hours to produce and pull
then to use 500 custom hand crafted millies and construct a bong out of them
again.. mind boggling

this guy is a glass blowing bad ass and goes by the name of ak

and i forget who makes the honeycomb percs but those are pretty sick, i would buy one if i could.

yea bro tried that too when we were trekking in the mountains tribes use that made of bamboo lol

hahaha yeah, at least they do the job. as for a good site, bongoutlet is shut down right now for some reason, bongin is alright, uh maybe amazon or something, ebay is good sometimes, theres plenty out there.

and tog, i agree, its not a good idea really. have them send it to an abandoned house and watch it get raided :lol:

When I was in Thailand for a few months we made "organic" bongs from bamboo that we found in the jungle. Smallish pieces of bamboo (about 1-2cm thick) are perfect for making the bowl and connecting tube.

You just cut the bamboo a little above a knot, then carefully hollow a bowl out of the solid bit of the knot. Once you've done that you drill a small hole in the middle of the bowl and it's ready to burn. (Best to burn off any chaff from the bowl before first use!)
Once the bowl is carbonized it smokes great.

Of course if may not be so easy to find good bamboo in different sizes for free in the UK!

have you bought a bong yet? you will struggle to find a bong on ebay as it is against there terms and conditions. i see amazon has some plastic bongs but they look pretty budget style... there are loads of online head shops were you can buy percolator bongs just take a look around
