Why Are Some Bongs So Expensive?

If the Titanic had been built a little different, maybe that story would have a happier ending? At the end of the day, the materials your products are made from and the ways they were made determine their value, but also their longevity. High-quality glass bongs typically have the highest price tags because of their quality materials and the fact many of them are hand-blown. Hours of effort have been put into the bong you’re now using. In contrast, materials like silicone and ceramic are much easier to mass-produce which means the savings from their manufacturing go straight to your pocket.

There are cheaper glass bongs on the market, and they probably have decent longevity too, so the choice is up to you. If you’re a new bong owner, you might want to slow your roll and start with a cheaper glass bong or swap to different materials like silicone and ceramic. Once you build that bong experience up, you can look at the high-end options with more confidence.

Even at 4.20 on a Wednesday, this equation is simple. The bigger the bong, the more materials required to make it. The more materials, the more you’re looking at forking out for this piece of art. Online Smoke have product filters by size, price and materials so you can always find the best cheap bongs online.

3. The quality of the build

When you find a sweet-as, decorative glass bong for a low price, there’s gotta be a catch, right? In many cases, it’s just a great deal. But in some cases, it could be the quality of the build. As cool as you’ll look ripping buds out of this one, it may not last as long as a higher-quality bong. The more times you heat your baby up, the more susceptible to thermal stress it can become. If you’re a frequent user there’s probably a benefit to shelling out for the big guns. Or buying multiple bongs to share out the load.

You can buy fancy watches, fancy cars and yes – fancy bongs. Bongs have branding like most any product. Buying from a super well-known brand means attaching a bit of extra bling to that sale price. You’ll benefit from a trustworthy brand name and can be assured of the quality of their product, but you’ll also be paying for the status boost which may not be worth the extra money.

Some design features, like a curved smoking chamber, can help with your smoking experience. Others, like smoking out of Spiderman, are just for fun. Either way, adding design features adds extra dollar, dollar bills to your hobby.

Snoop Dogg may be young, wild and free enough to have his bongs shipped from around the world, but we don’t all have that kinda dough. If you’re eying off an imported bong, you can expect the shipping and currency conversion costs to hit you hard. If your local bong seller is pushing their products for more than you think they’re worth – it might be worth checking where they came from. Online Smoke are a local business, which means the best bongs are online in Australia.
