The choice of bongs available can seem daunting. If portability is important then a mini-bong may be the answer; for daily use a medium-sized one will do the job; and for use at home where issues of size and weight are not so important, the largest size may appeal. If price is an issue for your customers, you can pick up acrylic bongs relatively cheaply but it may be worth spending a little more for a better experience.
Seasoned bong-users tend to swear by their glass models, because they are believed to give a better taste and they tend to be more versatile when considering accessories and add-ons. However, acrylic bongs are ideal for beginners or occasional users who are getting used to the practice before graduating to glass.
To use an acrylic bong, you need to fill the percolator element of the bong with water before use. Inhale using the mouthpiece and if you find you're drawing in water then you have over-filled it. The more water, the more restricted the draw so for a looser inhalation, reduce the water level. Remember to change the water at least once a day.
Since they are a form of plastic, acrylic bongs are an ideal alternative to bongs made of other materials such as glass, ceramic and silicone because they are cheaper, they are lightweight and they are harder to damage. As an experienced supplier of plastic bongs wholesale, we can confidently advise our retailers that acrylic bongs are particularly good choices for beginners.
The main differences between the two are durability and price. Glass bongs tend to be more expensive than acrylic, and more easily broken. However, some users feel that the glass bongs give a purer taste experience while acrylic can affect the flavour of the inhalation.
There are several ways to clean an acrylic bong. The most frequently recommended method is to use salt and rubbing alcohol. There are also many cleaning products designed specifically for this purpose.
Acrylic bongs are much more resistant to damage than glass bongs. They are not unbreakable but will stand up well to rougher handling in daily use.
Yes they are. In fact, they have been found to be less toxic than some other materials because they do not release any harmful chemicals unless you heat them beyond 300 degrees. Otherwise, in general terms, the usual safety issues associated with the material inhaled apply.
Yes it is perfectly legal to sell acrylic bongs and acrylic water pipes wholesale and in retail outlets. Regarding acrylic bongs UK law makes no distinction between materials, just the usual proviso that the seller should honestly believe the bong will not be used to smoke illegal substances.
