Frequently Asked Questions
What materials are Chongz bongs made from?
Chongz offers both glass and acrylic pieces. Glass (often thick borosilicate) provides cleaner flavour and more durability, while acrylic tends to be more affordable and less fragile.
What’s the difference between beaker, straight, and percolator style bongs?
Beaker bongs have a wide base that adds stability and volume; straight tubes are slim and stylish; percolator styles add internal filtration to cool and filter smoke more thoroughly.
How do I clean a Chongz glass bong properly?
Use warm (not boiling) water, isopropyl alcohol or bong cleaner, remove any detachable parts (bowl, downstem), scrub gently, and rinse thoroughly. Make sure all parts are dry before reassembling.
Are Chongz bongs compatible with vaporizers or rigs / concentrates?
Many Chongz water pipes have 14mm or 18mm female joints which can accept vapour rig attachments or accessories. Check the joint size of your piece before purchasing accessories.
How do I choose the right size Chongz bong?
Consider height (for portability vs smoke cooling), joint size, and whether you’ll be filling with plenty of smoke or using it more discreetly. Smaller bongs are easier to store/travel; taller + percolator = smoother hit.
What’s an ice pinch and why does it matter?
An ice pinch lets you drop ice cubes into the bong’s neck above the water chamber to cool down the smoke further, resulting in smoother hits and less harshness.
Is a glass bong better than acrylic?
Glass generally gives purer taste, is more heat resistant and less likely to impart unwanted flavours. Acrylic is more durable against breakage and lighter in some cases, but may sacrifice some flavour quality.
How durable are Chongz products and what happens if they break?
While Chongz products are made to be fairly robust (especially thicker glass models), glass still breaks if dropped. Some retailers offer spare parts (bowls, downstems) so you don’t need to replace the whole piece.
What colours / designs do Chongz offer, and do they affect price?
Chongz has a variety of colours, accents, designs (swirl, ‘glow in the dark’, themed prints etc.). Fancy designs or features (ice pinch, percolator, extra thickness) often cost more.
Does VaporizerHut ship Chongz products UK-wide, and is there discreet packaging?
Yes, VaporizerHut ships throughout the UK. Discreet packaging is standard for sensitive or adult-oriented items like glassware / bongs. Check shipping & return policies for specifics.
