Bongs are devices used to smoke dry herbs or tobacco made of plastic, glass, ceramic, or wood that use water to filter the smoke, giving you a better and smoother hit. You can elevate your experience by using a stash percolator bong, but it is essential to understand its features and benefits to know how it differs from a traditional bong.
Components
- Water chamber – This is the chamber at the bong’s base where you add water to cool and filter the smoke.
- Percolator- This extra water chamber is one of the most distinguishing features from a standard bong. It is on the bong’s upper section and further filters the smoke, delivering a cooler and smoother hit.
- Stash compartment- This is another distinguishing feature incorporated into the base or below the percolator, where you hide extra herbs for convenience.
- Slide or bowl- These bongs have a removable slide or bowl where you place the herbs before smoking. You ignite the herbs, and then the smoke gets into the bong.
- Carb hole- This is a tiny air hole in some of the bongs. It allows you to control the airflow or clear your bong while you inhale.
- Mouthpiece- This is found at the top of the bong through which you inhale the smoother and cooler smoke.
Benefits
In addition to better filtration and a smoother hit, there are other benefits that come with a stash percolator bong.
Better flavor
The extra filtration helps eliminate more impurities, improving the smoke’s taste.
Discreteness and herb safety
The extra chamber to store additional herbs allows you to carry them, unlike using a traditional bong where you must bring them in a different bag. You also reduce the chances of spilling or losing them as you travel.
Customization
These bongs come in numerous sizes, materials, designs, and colors, allowing you to match yours with your personality, style, or favorite movie themes.
