Thick Glass Bongs

When it comes to durability, thicker is always better. It doesn't take a genius to tell you that. Although, I'm sure a genius would also tell you that.

Many people think that borosilicate glass bongs inherently are fragile and easily broken. Some are, but believe it or not, there are many pieces so thick that they can take quite a beating. The typical glass bong is made with 3mm-5mm thick glass. A thick glass bong is anything made with 7mm or 9mm thick glass. The extra thickness helps prevent breaks when you bump into and knock over your glass water pipe. Some 9mm thick beaker bongs can even withstand knocks off of table tops.

Why Borosilicate is Best

A few details you need to know about thick glass bongs and beaker bongs is that the type of glass commonly used to create a bong is borosilicate, which is already a very durable glass. Glass pieces can come in all sorts of thicknesses, styles, and shapes, so we curated this collection of thick glass pieces to help you begin the process of finding the right one to suit your preferences – and your clumsiness. Keep in mind the extra thickness makes these pieces almost twice as heavy as the typical bong, which some people don't like, but most people love.

Clumsiness Quotient

Your need for durability doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re limited to thick glass bongs. Dab rigs are often made from the same glass as bongs, and while they can have more twists and turns, you will likely find one that would be perfect for you and your clumsiness quotient.
