Our Bongs for Beginners Guide & Dab Rigs Quiz take you through the process of buying a water pipe in full detail. But here’s the gist on how to choose the perfect pipe for you:
 

1. Is it for dry herbs, concentrates, or both?

2. Glass or silicone?

3. What size do you like?

4. Percs or no percs?

5. Pick the one that suits your personal style!

We’ve curated a selection rich with hundreds of the best dab rigs, recyclers, beaker bongs, scientific bongs — even bongs under $100. You don’t have to know what these technical terms mean to know the best water pipe for you when you see it! The best part of today’s booming bong scene is the fun of experiencing all types of innovative pipes.

 

Scientific Glass & Silicone:

Borosilicate glass and silicone are by far the most popular of pipe materials. They both work with concentrates and dry herbs. Scientific borosilicate bongs are made of a super-strong glass that may come in colors, but is most often found in a crisp clear design. Silicone bongs offer bold and vibrant color options, can handle extremely high temps, and are also dishwasher safe!

 

Beaker & Straight Stem Bongs:

Beaker bongs and straight stem bongs rank as DopeBoo’s bestselling shapes. A beaker is wider at the base than at the neck. This maximizes the surface area of the water for a splash more filtration, while also creating a stable place to stand. A straight stem tube (usually complemented by a flared base) is sleek and efficient with a straight tube design. Both beakers and straight bongs can include a wide variety of cool percolators.

 

Percolators:

Percolators enhance the hydro-cleansing process with added diffusion. The most popular perc types are honeycomb, tree, turbine, and inline.

 

Concentrate Dab Rigs:

Concentrate water pipes are also called “dab rigs.” Instead of your usual dry herb slide, dab rigs are fitted with a nail. Nails are heated with a torch (or e-nail) which creates clean concentrate vapor when you dab on your extracts. Standard dab rigs include a glass nail that manufacturers expect you’ll replace for a quartz banger, domeless ceramic nail, or domeless titanium nail. Some high quality glass brands include a top shelf nail with the water pipe (Los Angeles’s UPC and Snoop Dogg’s POUNDS).

 

Dual Function Water Pipes:

A modern trend, dual function pipes have quickly hit mainstream. These useful (and awesome-looking!) devices usually feature two joints: one for concentrates and one for dry herbs.

 

Modular Water Pipes:

Popularized by GRAV Labs’ STAX collection, the modular water pipe is a great new way of customizing every sesh with the click of a keck clip. Stack perc chambers, glycerin, and Helix mouthpieces sky-high — or take it down a notch with a basic two-piece bundle. DopeBoo offers unique STAX starter kits to get you the essentials asap.

 

Recycler Pipes:

Simple science elevates these water pipes with sophisticated, smooth inhales. Recycler pipes use an innovative design that pulls smoke through multiple chambers for next-level filtration and cooling. DopeBoo’s best-selling recycler is the Charybdis Propellor Perc Klein-Style Recycler – just one option to consider.

 

Find the bong that speaks right to your personality, with features that cater to your favorite aspects of smoke or vapor.

 

Once you’ve mastered the basics, try adding fun upgrades like ash catchers and glycerin chillers!
