All About Bongsand Its Types

Whether you’re looking to learn more about a glass 5 inch bong or multi-chamber bongs, you’ve come to the right place.

The History Of Bongs

The history of bongs dates long back. Some of the oldest known bongs existed before American history and were originally used in ancient Africa, Russia, and China.

Science Advances published findings in June 2019 findings by MengRen of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and her team of scientists, who excavated 10 wood-burning pots. These containers, which had burnt stones from tombs at the Jirzankal Cemetery, are thought to have been used for ritualized cannabis smoking. After closer inspection, Ren’s team indicated that cannabis plants were burned in these wooden burning pots during mortuary ceremonies and religious activities at the Jirzankal Cemetery (ca. 500 BCE) in the eastern Pamirs region. This indicates cannabis was smoked in western China at least 2,500 years ago!

Here are some of the most common types of bongs:
