Exploring Different Attachments for Bongs
Bongs have come a long way from their simple designs. Today, you can boost your bong's performance with an array of attachments for bongs that will upgrade your smoking experience.
But where to start? If you're wondering which bong parts are the best and where to start, make your way through our list and see which one is for you.
1. Ash Catchers
Ash catchers are a must-have for any bong enthusiast and an accessory worth the investment. Ash catchers not only provide a layer of filtration but also help in keeping your piece spotless. This nifty little tool traps the ash before it enters your bong's main chamber. It helps keep things tidy.
Ash Catcher Helps Keep Your Bong Clean
No one enjoys smoking from a dirty bong and cleaning a bong can be annoying.
Ash catchers help trap most of the ash and debris before it gets into your bong's main water chamber. So instead of having to give your entire piece a deep scrub every few uses, you just need to clean out this smaller attachment—a task that takes a few minutes.
2. Percolators
If smoother and cooler hits are what you're after, then percolators are worth considering. By diffusing smoke into tiny bubbles they increase surface area exposure resulting in remarkably smooth drags every time.
The Science Behind Percolators
No physics degree is required to understand how percolators work. Imagine tiny showerheads in your bong. They break up big smoke bubbles into smaller ones, just like showerheads spread water droplets.
This division not only cools down the smoke but also filters out unwanted substances such as tar and ash—making each hit cleaner and more enjoyable for you.
Percs are one of the best attachments for bongs you should add to your water pipe, although it can't just be any bong.
You will need to make sure you have a modular bong in order to add a separate perc.

“ THE BONG I GOT IS THE 16 INCH VOYAGER BONG. THIS BONG IS ONE OF THE BEST HITS I’VE EVER HAD.
I HAVE HAD MANY OF BONGS AND TRIED MANY DIFFERENT BRANDS INCLUDING ROOR, ILLADELPH, GEAR, RED EYE GLASS, HI SI, HOSS, ZONGS, THICK ASS GLASS, NICE GLASS, HI GUY, AND MANY MANY MORE. FROM ALL THE BONGS I HAVE TRIED, SOME WERE RANGING IN THE THOUSANDS IN PRICE.
THIS BONG BY FAR TAKES THE FIRST PLACE SPOT IN MY OPINION. IT IS PERFECT SIZE AND HITS LIKE A DREAM. BECAUSE YOU CAN TAKE IT APART, CLEANING IS SUPER EASY.
I FOUND THIS COMPANY BY LOOKING ON GOOGLE. IT WAS THE FIRST COMPANY THAT CAME UP ON A LIST OF TOP 10 COMPANIES.
AND NOW I KNOW WHY. THEY WERE THERE BECAUSE THEY DESERVED THE TOP SPOT FOR SURE. ”

Regarding your mention of easy cleaning due to the disassembly feature, we're pleased that it's proving convenient for you.
Thank you again for choosing our bong, and we look forward to seeing you in the future.
3. Adapters
The world of adapters opens up new possibilities for customizing your bong. These tools let you fit different-sized attachments or add multiple ones at once, giving you complete control over how you want to smoke.
Variety in Size and Shape
You can find adapters in various sizes and shapes. For instance, if you've got a 14mm bowl but your joint size is an 18mm female joint, no problem. A male-to-female adapter makes it work perfectly.
Bong adapters also open up possibilities for using multiple attachments simultaneously on one device. That's right - why settle for one when two could be better?
4. Precoolers
If you've ever wished for cooler hits from your bong, a precooler could be the perfect solution. Precoolers can improve your smoking experience by filtering smoke before it enters the bong.
A precooler works by cooling down the smoke that passes through it. When you take a hit, the hot smoke first travels from the bowl into the precooler where it's cooled significantly before moving into your bong’s primary water chamber.
It's important to remember that attachments for bongs, such as Precoolers, can't be used at the same time as bong parts like Ash Catchers. You're going to have to choose which one you want the most.
The Benefits of Using Precoolers
By providing extra cooling and filtration for smoke before it reaches you, precoolers offer three key benefits:
-
Better taste: Removing more impurities and particulates from smoke than a single-chambered piece alone would allow
-
Smoother hits: Cooler smokes tend to provide less harshness on inhalation
- Cleaner Bongs: Catching ash and other residues that would otherwise end up in your bong water or coating its interior surfaces
5. Bowls and Slides
Often underestimated, bowls and slides might be one of the most important bong accessories. Without one you have nowhere to place your dry herb and nothing to smoke. They're not just holders for your plant material; they influence the quality of each hit you take.
A deeper bowl allows for larger packs, providing longer sessions without needing to refill. On the other hand, shallow bowls give quick hits that can be refreshing but require frequent refilling.
Materials also matter when it comes to bowls and slides. Glass provides clean flavors, but it can be less durable if not handled carefully.
Magnetic Bowls
Traditionally bowls have been made from glass however materials like metal are becoming popular. They provide extra durability and longevity. Brands like Bowlz are taking it to the next level with magnetic bowls.
These unique bowls split into two bowl pieces making it very easy to clean.
If you want to add an extra touch of customization to your bong, this bowl is for you.
6. Dab Nails and Bangers
Fans of concentrates like wax or oil will appreciate dab nails and bangers. They're not just attachments; they play a crucial role in ensuring you get the best from your concentrates.
They can either be added to a bong as an attachment or you may need to get a special dab rig to use them.
A dab nail, much like its name suggests, resembles a small metal nail. It's heated with a torch until it's red-hot, and then you apply your concentrate onto the nail using a dab tool. The heat vaporizes the concentrate instantly for you to inhale.
The Importance of Dab Nail and Banger Material
The material of your dab nail and banger can significantly impact both flavor and durability. Three main types of materials are quartz and ceramic.
-
Quartz: This type heats quickly but also cools down fast. Quartz delivers clean flavors without any metallic taste but might need more frequent replacement due to wear out over time
- Ceramic: Ceramic nails take longer to heat up but retain their temperature well once hot—ideal for long sessions. However, they may break easily if dropped so handle them with care.
Bangers are a safer way to use concentrates and prevent accidental burns.
They resemble tiny buckets made from quartz because this material doesn't interfere with flavors even when exposed directly to high temperatures used during the heating process.
Using these nifty dab rig attachments will make your concentrate smoking sessions more enjoyable and efficient.
7. Cleaning Tools
Keeping your bong clean isn't just about aesthetics, it's very important for longevity. The right cleaning tools can make this task easier.
-
A bong brush helps get into those hard-to-reach areas. They come in various sizes to match the different parts of your bong
-
Pipe cleaners, with their flexible design, are perfect for cleaning downstems and mouthpieces without causing damage
- Last but not least, don’t forget about cleaning caps. They let you give your bong a good shake during cleaning without worrying about spills.
Cleaning Solutions: Break Down Residue
Specially formulated cleaning solutions can help break down tough grime that water alone cannot handle. These non-abrasive solutions, usually made from isopropyl alcohol, protect your bongs from scratches while leaving them sparkling clean.
KEY TAKEAWAY
Craving smoother, cooler hits from your bong? A precooler might be the answer. This attachment acts as an extra filtration stage for smoke before it enters the main chamber. Ash catchers help keep your bong cleaner for longer. With added percolators, you'll have a smoking experience that's enjoyable and healthier.
