The physics behind a bong are fairly straightforward: smoke is pulled through a chamber filled with water, and as the smoke bubbles up through the liquid, the water simultaneously cools down the temperature of the smoke and pulls out fine particulate matter including tar and ash.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-block-image \">\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/180920_Bong_103.jpg?ssl=1\" data-modal-open=\"lightbox_403\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/180920_Bong_103.jpg?fit=640%2C360&ssl=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/180920_Bong_103.jpg?w=1600&ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/180920_Bong_103.jpg?resize=300%2C169&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/180920_Bong_103.jpg?resize=768%2C432&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/180920_Bong_103.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/180920_Bong_103.jpg?w=1280&ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 768px) 476px, (min-width: 1218px) 772px, 100vw\" alt=\"plastic glass silicone bongs\" title=\"Click to see a larger version of the image\">\n\t\t\t<\/a><cite>Photo by: Gina Coleman\/Weedmaps<\/cite><figcaption>A bong is a marijuana pipe that uses water to cool and filter the smoke, producing an especially smooth, clean-tasting, and potentially healthier smoking experience.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\t\t\t<div id=\"lightbox_403\" data-modal data-modal-hide-heading data-modal-manual-close hidden>\n\t\t\t\t<h2>Image lightbox<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/180920_Bong_103.jpg?fit=640%2C360&ssl=1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/180920_Bong_103.jpg?w=1600&ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/180920_Bong_103.jpg?resize=300%2C169&ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/180920_Bong_103.jpg?resize=768%2C432&ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/180920_Bong_103.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/180920_Bong_103.jpg?w=1280&ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"100vw\" alt=\"plastic glass silicone bongs\">\n\t\t\t\t<button role=\"button\" class=\"a11y-modal__close-btn\" data-modal-close-btn>\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"currentColor\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M13.414 12l4.293 4.293a1 1 0 01-1.414 1.414L12 13.414l-4.293 4.293a1 1 0 11-1.414-1.414L10.586 12 6.293 7.707a1 1 0 011.414-1.414L12 10.586l4.293-4.293a1 1 0 011.414 1.414L13.414 12z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, there are a number of scientific studies showing the efficacy of water filtration.

To keep your bong in pristine working condition, clean it after each session.Begin by emptying out all the ash from the bowl. Then, remove the bowl and place it in a zipper-top plastic bag with some coarse salt and rubbing alcohol (or\u00a0 simply use a cleaning solution designed for bongs and other glass smoking pieces). Gently shake the bag and use your hands to scrub the bowl. The idea is to let the alcohol break apart the sticky resin while the salt acts as an exfoliator. Work the bowl around inside the bag until it is clean. Then remove the bowl from the bag and rinse it in clean water.Next, repeat this step with the downstem. If the salt\/alcohol solution isn't too dirty, you can simply drop the downstem into the exact same zipper-top bag.Now that the downstem and bowl are clean, it's time to focus on the bong itself. Start by pouring out the water in the water chamber. Now pour in some rubbing alcohol and coarse salt. Alternatively, you can use a cleaning solution designed specifically for bongs. Either way, once you've added a cleaning mixture, use rubber stoppers to plug all holes. Give your bong a good shake. As with the bowl and downstem, the alcohol will help break apart the sticky resin and the salt will exfoliate away any residue. When the bong is clean, dump out the cleaning solution and rinse the entire thing with clean water."}],"image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/products-and-how-to-consume\/how-to-use-a-bong#schema-image-b1057e88660d55c05ed43893132d4a18","url":"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Gif3-HowToCleanABong-WMNews-V2-052219-v2-1-2.gif","contentUrl":"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Gif3-HowToCleanABong-WMNews-V2-052219-v2-1-2.gif"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2060","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2060"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2060\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1430"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2060"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2060"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2060"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
