Beaker vs. Straight Tube Bongs: What's the Difference?

Other Crap: Bongs banner

Shape changes how a bong hits, how stable it is, and how easy it is to clean.

Beaker

  • Wide, cone-shaped base that holds more water and is very hard to knock over
  • More volume means bigger clouds and smooth, steady pulls
  • A little more water to manage and more glass to clean

Straight tube

  • Uniform cylinder that's sleek and compact
  • Fast, punchy hits and very easy to clean
  • A smaller footprint on the table, so use a stable surface

Hourglass and other shapes

Shapes like the Bong Ultimate's hourglass add grip and leave room for recycler plumbing.

Which should you get?

Want stability and big clouds? Go beaker, like the Bong Pro. Want something simple that's easy to clean? Go straight tube, like the Entry Bong. Browse all bongs.
