Bongs & Pipes

Through the years, glass has been a favorite for pipes and bongs due to its durability, heat resistance, and aesthetic appeal. Whether you prefer the sophistication of a glass smoking pipe or prefer the fun-to-use bubblers, these products are here to help level up your smoking sessions. From a simple glass hand pipe to an elaborate water-filtered bong, we provide many options that suit your wants and needs.

How Do Bongs Work?

Bongs filter the smoke through the water before you start inhaling. When you breathe it in, the smoke goes through the water, creating bubbles that cool down and filter out the smoke. What’s the point? It removes some of the harsh chemicals and irritants, crafting a cooler and smoother hit with each puff. At MatchboxBros, we offer a variety of bongs from which to choose. We’ve got glass, silicone, mug-shaped pipes and more.

Glass Bongs vs. Silicone Bongs

Glass bongs provide a better taste, as its non-porous, preserving the flavor of the weed, they can typically allow for a bigger variety of percolators and designs, and glass is much easier to clean. However, silicone bongs have some upsides, as they are very durable, more accessible to travel with, and generally more affordable, plus they come in crazy colors and styles.

How to Clean a Bong?

There are three different ways to clean your bong. The classic salt and alcohol method is a favorite: fill the bong with warm water and a good amount of coarse salt, pour in isopropyl alcohol (91% or higher), close the openings, and shake. Then, rinse it out with warm water.

You can also try the vinegar and rice method: fill the bong with white vinegar and uncooked rice, let it soak for several hours, and rinse thoroughly.

Or, you can always buy a commercial bong cleaner online or at your local smoke shop.

Glass Hand Pipes

Hand pipes are for those who love convenience and need something easy to travel with. If you haven’t used one before, all you have to do is sprinkle some ground-up weed into the bowl shape and ignite it with a lighter while covering the small hole on the side with your finger. Once it has ignited well, you can release your finger and breathe in. Hand pipes are one of the easiest and simplest ways to relax and enjoy a smoking session whether you’re on vacation, at home, or plan to puff and pass with friends. We have the pipes you're looking for with brands like Grav, RAW, Cookies, and more.

How Do Bubblers Work?

Bubblers are a smaller, hand-held version of a bong. They also use water to cool and smooth the smoke before inhalation, making them more convenient to travel with and hold in one hand. Why not just get a hand pipe? Bubblers result in a smoother and less harsh smoking experience than a dry pipe due to the water filtration process.
