Silicone: the tough one
- Pros: nearly unbreakable, packable, cheap and fun designs
- Cons: can hold onto taste, has basic filtration, and runs warmer
Silicone is perfect for camping, festivals or anyone who's broken a few pieces. See silicone options.
Glass: the clean one
- Pros: pure flavor, easy to see when it's dirty, room for percolators and glycerin coils
- Cons: can break, and costs more
The verdict
For your main daily piece, glass wins on flavor and smoothness, especially a glycerin bong like the Freeze Pipe Entry Bong. Plenty of people keep a cheap silicone bong as a travel backup too.
