Best Bongs For Under $1000

Bong

Best Bongs For Budget-Friendly Smokers

A comprehensive list of the best bongs on the market that will enhance your smoke sessions, but won’t break your bank account.

Get Blazing with the Best Bongs for Your Buck

Most people start smoking weed via joints but eventually move on to bongs. When this happens, you’ll want the best bongs that will last.

Cheaper unbranded bongs are usually made in China and the quality control is minimal. American-made glass is usually higher quality because it is made in smaller batches to ensure consistency, function, and durability. If you’re into ripping the best bongs, below are a few companies worth looking into.

8. Grav Labs

Best Bongs For Under $1000

Grav Labs is one of the best bongs offering function and affordability. They have many of the most popular perc and bong designs without the hefty price.

All of their rigs and bongs are priced under $1000 and most are in the $100-$300 range.

Grav Labs are great for someone just getting into the glass game who’s looking for a bong with a bit of quality control, and the lower price is most likely due to the fact that the glass isn’t very thick.

However, Grav Lab pieces are made with scientific grade borosilicate glass. Most well-known glass artists today are using borosilicate glass because it can withstand high heats making it easier to mold.

You’ll still be spending enough to piss you off if you or a friend accidentally breaks it so make sure you’re careful.

Our Recommendation: Glycerin Recycler

7. Empire Glassworks

Best Bongs For Under $1000

One of the reasons a bong may cost hundreds of dollars is the artwork. Some of the best bongs are functional sculptures that take extra time and effort to craft.

As a result, glass art can get pricey costing upwards of thousands. Fortunately, Empire Glassworks offers aesthetically pleasing work that will also get you the quality of smoke you desire for well under a thousand dollars.

Empire has been blowing their glass in Placentia, California, USA since 2013.

Their team consists of artists and owners with 40 years of experience crafting various kinds of glass.

Each piece is individually designed by one of the highly skilled glassblowers in the Empire Glass network and many of their shapes come from customer suggestions. From aquarium style rigs to pop-culture inspired pieces like super mario and pokemon-themed water pipes, empire has a design for everyone.

Their most expensive pieces are still under $500, so you can get a good balance of artwork and function at a fair price.

Our Recommendation: Something that speaks to you

There are plenty of different artistic Empire Glasswork bongs; we don’t know what you’re into. There are star wars, charlie brown, and nature-themed pieces. Peek through their selection and find something you’ll want to look at. Choose the best bong design for you.

6. Hi Si

Best Bongs For Under $1000

If you’re into the newer scientific-style bongs, Hi Si was pretty much made for you. Nobody captures the scientific look quite as good as the Hi Si brand bongs.

Hi Si bongs are American-made and they stay a step above most glass companies while remaining under $500 per piece.

Once you get a decent collection of Hi Si pieces and accessories, it’ll look like you just got done raiding Walter White’s laboratory.

They offer unique percs and are easy to keep clean. Most of their pieces have a black nozzle on the side that can untwist to pour out dirty water or liquid bong cleaner.

Another innovation on Hi Si bongs is their downstem which has extra holes for diffusion. Their bowls also have a built in glass screen. Hi Si was one of the first companies to include this feature.

Their latest bongs come with unique in-house percs like the bell perc 2.0 and most have a splashguard to avoid any water shooting up into your mouth when those bubbles stack.

Our Recommendation: Triple Geyser Perc 23 Inch Beaker

If you like pieces with percs that make bubbles stack you’ll love the Triple Geyser by Hi Si. It includes three geyser percs, an ice pinch; and splash guard.

5. Burner Glassworks
