Bong Bowls

Bong Bowls to Freshen up Your Sesh

A bong bowl is the removable glass piece that holds your herb and slides into your bong’s joint. Whether you need a replacement or want to upgrade with a heady glass design, this collection covers 10mm, 14mm and 18mm sizes in male and female joints. Styles include classic slides, flower bowls and herb slides with built-in screens, in clear and colorful borosilicate glass.

How Do You Choose the Right Bong Bowl Size?

Match the bowl’s joint size and gender to your bong’s downstem. Opposites fit: a male bowl goes into a female  joint, and most bongs use a female joint. Here is how to find your size: 

• Check your bong’s listing or look for the size etched near the joint. 
• If it is not marked, measure the inside opening of the female joint in millimeters, edge to edge. 
• Round to the nearest standard size: 10mm, 14mm or 18mm. 

If your bowl and downstem sizes don’t match, check our bong bowl sizes guide to compare them, or use a joint adapter to connect different sizes.

Choosing Your Style: Capacity and Design 

Bong bowls come in different capacities and designs to suit your setup. Pick on how you smoke.

• Slide bowls with handles: Easier to grip and remove, often found in artist glass.
• Funnel or flower bowls: Offer more capacity for group sessions; pack loosely for better airflow.
• Screened or honeycomb bowls: Help keep herb out of the water with built-in screening.
• Small snapper bowls: Suit solo sessions and conserving herb, with quick loading and clearing.
• Heady bowls: Feature colorful, artistic designs for display or gifting. Check the joint size before buying.

If you are shopping for a hand pipe instead, browse glass hand pipes. 

Which Bong Bowl Material Is Right for You?

Bong bowl materials vary in flavor, durability, and heat handling. Consider how you use your bong and how much wear and tear your bowl needs to withstand.

• Borosilicate glass: Offers clean flavor and plenty of color and design options, but can break if dropped.
• Quartz: Handles high temperatures well, though quartz bong bowls are less common.
• Silicone: Flexible and resistant to drops, with fewer design options and a need for gentle cleaning.
