Many bongs allow for the addition of ice to presumably further 'cool' the smoke before it is inhaled. There are so many interesting items and practices that have been invented, developed and co-opted for use in the consumption of cannabis that we've realized the need for clarification for many of our customers, whether they are new to the 'culture' or due to different terminology and products being used in different places, or simply as a result of how complex and wide-ranging the options can be! The following is our attempt to provide a little clarification - it is by no means anywhere near comprehensive and of course people have different interpretations and definitions of terminology for various reasons - please feel free to suggest additions or changes to this Glossary if you feel they may be helpful!įirst, to start with the most basic: a "bong" is a water-pipe - a pipe (usually made of glass) through which you can smoke your favorite herb with the smoke passing through (usually clean, cold) water such that the smoke may be somewhat 'cooled' or 'filtered' (there is little evidence that any productive filtering actually happens however) and which allows you to 'pack' your herb into a (usually relatively small) 'bowl' and smoke small 'hits' rather than smoking a more time-consuming (and possibly more herb-consuming) 'joint' (cigarette).
