I still remember the first time I decided to buy a bong. I almost went straight for an overpriced piece because I thought “the more expensive, the better.” Luckily, a friend told me to start cheap.
Here’s what I learned:
- You don’t know your preferences yet. Maybe you’ll like straight tubes, maybe beakers, maybe mini rigs.
- Accidents happen. If you break your first bong, it hurts way less if it’s a $30 piece instead of a $200 one.
- Even cheap glass can give you a smooth, enjoyable smoke.
After using my “cheap bong” for a few months, I realized it was all I really needed. Later, if you want to upgrade, you can—but you won’t regret starting with something affordable.
So if you’re in the same position, don’t overthink it. Buy a cheap bong, learn what you like, and upgrade later if you feel like it.
