In this guide, we’ll compare beaker bongs with straight tube bongs. Keep reading to learn what you need to know.
Beaker Bongs
Beaker bongs are very similar to the beakers scientists use in the lab. Compared to straight tube bongs, beaker bongs have a much more stable base. They are also able to hold more water which means better percolation.
When smoking cannabis from beaker bongs, you’ll be able to fill it with much more smoke AKA “milking up your piece.” You’ll be able to take much bigger hits as an effect. You’ll also love that smoking cannabis from a beaker bong, you’ll be less likely to get any water in your mouth.
For a fun 420 experiment, try filling one of your beaker bongs just with smoke and no water. Clear it and enjoy.
You may have some difficulty getting a controlled hit. So it pays to practice.
You won’t have to concern yourself with tipping over your beaker bong anytime soon either.
Straight Tube Bongs
If you’re looking for an efficient way to smoke, get your hands on some straight tube bongs. The smoke travels straight up the long cylinder tube with minimal drag.
You’ll notice that one side of the straight tube bong has a bowl and carburetor. The carburetor needs to be covered when smoking cannabis to help facilitate a suction.
Straight tube bongs won’t require much effort from the user either. You won’t have to pull so hard.
The percolator is smooth too because straight tube bongs hold less water. This means that they are very quick to clear. When smoking cannabis from straight tube bongs, be sure not to tip them over (their bases are on the smaller side).
Some straight tube bongs will even come equipped with ice catchers too. You may even find ones with various chambers.
