Thinking about buying a giant bong (lemmy.world)

Hey fellow connoisseurs,

I'm in a bit of a bind and need some opinions. I'm looking to buy this 2 footer beaker from a local shop. It's an amazing price already and even comes with a perc catcher.

I'm not too worried about the quality of the product (I trust them), but I was wondering if there's any benefits to such a HUGE bong besides liking it. Is it better than a regular/smaller bong, or one that's more specialized like a recycler?

Thanks for your help!

Lot of really good advice from everyone.

If you are smoking flower, get something easy to clean. All those fancy bubblers, showerheads, and whatever else just make it a little bit harder to clean and frankly do not enhance MY smoke. One option is to plan on buying a new cheap soda-lime glass bong for $30 from Wish.com (or similar) every year. Adding an ash catcher is always nice for easier cleanup too. Or invest in an ultra-expensive thick Pyrex or quartz and treat it very well.

Most of the web and headshops around here have the same $30 wish.com bong for $80+. Total rip off.

I recommend these things because 1) I smoke a lot of flower and resin builds up quick 2) I break bongs all the time!!! 3) I'm lazy but like to clean my bong daily.

I broke my last expensive bong ($250) from a custom glass blower. Not going to waste the money anymore. It should have been on the shelf like a fancy hotrod for special occasions and the daily bong is the daily driver.

Cheers!
