Thinking about buying a giant bong

In the spirit of making Trees a welcoming and uplifting place for everyone, please follow our Commandments.
So unless it's an exotic one of a kind piece, it's likely made in China and can be bought for less than $50 USD direct from China. There are sites online that sell thick glass (like ThickAssGlass). But most smoke shops are overpriced for what you're getting.
PS - did you know that most clear glass you see in smoke shops is not even real boro laboratory grade glass? It's actually a cheaper softer "soda-lime glass" which is not as durable.
Depends entirely on your objectives. For smoking, a longer neck helps smooth out the vapor - although extra water chambers and ice picks to hold ice cubes is beneficial for smoking.
For vaporbonging you need a much smaller piece with less water to retain the flavor of the vapor.
