Of all the different types of smoking devices, water pipes are quite varied in shape, size, design and composition. Let's start with the composition, and therefore we refer to the different types of materials that water pipes can be made of. Most preferred material today by smokers for making water pipes is glass. The reason for this is twofold. First, the glass tends to provide the best performance, considering a water pipe is subjected to extreme heat and humidity and again. Glass, cracks, deformation or curvature is not divided into these conditions, even after long term use. Second, the glass does not alter the taste of smoked grass and other materials (such as wood) do. When smoked in a glass pipe, all you taste is grass.

The major drawback of glass as Bong material is that is breakable. Users should be careful about how they handle your device to prevent breakage. To mitigate this, however, manufacturers often use glass lab quality between 3 mm and 5 mm thick, making it more resistant to breakage.

However, other suitable materials for Bong-making some smokers actually prefer. Wood, as already mentioned, is one of those materials. In fact, wood is a traditional material for building water pipes. Many older water pipes in the world were made of wood. The best contemporary wooden pipes are those made from hardwoods. Rosewood, oak, maple and walnut are common. Wooden pipes can not help their own unique flavors leached in smoke, and this mixture the taste is what the fans are looking wooden pipe.

Bamboo is not really wood, but a grass that, when it dries completely, it has the feel of wood. So far in flavor, bamboo pipes are between wood and glass pipes. Do not produce smoke clean and unadulterated as a glass pipe, but definitely not leak as much as we wooden pipes. Many smokers like the unique flavor of smoked grass a bamboo bong.

 Acrylic plastic is another material common pipe. Acrylic bongs have a couple of advantages over straight tube bongs. On the one hand, they do not break. On the other, they are significantly cheaper than glass bongs, much more affordable for economically challenged the smoker. Plastic water pipes can be great hookahs boot, giving you the experience and practice before moving into a glass.

Obviously, you can not apply a flame plastic. For this reason, acrylic bongs must have metal bowls. However, it is easy to get carried his torch and accidentally overheating of the plastic. Too much of this can melt, burn or deface it. In addition, the metal container tends to alter the flavor of the grass and can make coming out try hard or slightly metallic.

Another problem with plastic water pipes is that they are more difficult to clean thoroughly. Eventually, a water pipe plastic will begin to hold all kinds of funky flavors waste used in the past, the taste of what his pipe clean water and even rancid taste of the plastic itself.
