How to use a silicone bong
Here’s a super simple way to get your good times started and make sure your first hit is pure and divine!
Step 1: Complete Disassembly
First, take apart your favorite silicone bong completely by removing the glass bowl, downstem, body, and mouthpiece. The most crucial guideline is that you never, ever soak it in the coarse salt and high concentration isopropyl alcohol (ISO) solution used for glass bongs. I’ve heard some horror stories of someone soaking a nice Eyce silicone bong in 99% isopropyl alcohol all nite. By morning the silicone had entirely broken down, turned white and was a sticky mess! Your new baby’s best friends are a few drops of Dawn dish soap and warm water. If you give it a good clean twice, and hang it in the air to dry, those awful manufacturing smells will go away for good.

When putting it together, remember this safety tip: the bowl and downstem *must* be pure borosilicate glass, but the body can be silicone! They also melt the silicone body, and may expose you to toxic compounds while they are burning.
Step 3: The Blind Test to Determine the Perfect Water Level
One little quirk of the silicone bong is that it is not transparent so you can’t see the water level inside! If you’re just going on your experiences with glass wholesale mini bongs (global-hookah.com), you’ll probably end up drinking half a cup of nasty smelling “bong water” with a big rip.Try my perfect “blind test” method. Hit it dry after adding the water but before adding any herb. It’s fine to dump a little if water splashes on your lips. Keep playing around with it until no drop splashes in your mouth and you get the beautiful “gurgle” sound that is so relaxing!
Why do we trade down from beautiful glass to silicone bongs? Because they are 100% freezer-safe. That is their greatest superpower!
Fill the glass bowl with water, adjust the level and remove it to avoid damage from heat expansion or contraction. Then throw the whole bong in the freezer for an hour or two! Remove when the water is a lovely slushy consistency and enjoy! The taste of cool, ultra-smooth smoke is like breathing the clean, cool air of the Alps! Imagine if you had tried to freeze a glass bong, it would have broken into a million pieces! Enjoy this lovely “slushy” sensation!

Expert Opinion: My
Always take the glass dish out before placing in the freezer. Sudden temperature changes can cause glass to break, while silicone can handle freezing like a champ!
