How to Use a Gravity Bong?

First time using a gravity bong? The good news is that it is very easy to use. Simply fill it with water, pack your bowl with your favorite herb, lift the tube to gather smoke, and lastly, release the smoke and inhale it all!

 

Next, let’s break this down into four complete steps and master this gear like a pro.

 

How to Use a Gravity Bong

Here’s all the things you need to set up your gravity bong: 

  1. Your gravity bong
  2. Water
  3. Your fave flower (no concentrates!)
  4. Lighter + hemp wick (optional, but we recommend!)

 

Step 1: How to Fill My Gravity Bong with Water?

Grab the base of your gravity bong and fill it ¾ of the way full of water. You need a good amount of water so you can successfully pull in the smoke.

 

Step 2: How to Pack Your Bowl?

This part isn’t much different than a normal bong. Just fill up your bowl to your preference and be sure not to overload it so there is good airflow. Pro-Tip: Use a grinder for your herb before loading the bowl to ensure optimal airflow and an even burn.

 

Step 3: How to Smoke a Gravity Bong?

This is where our science comes in! As you lift your tube, you create suction that gathers the smoke into your gravity bong. This is how you can get such a potent hit, with minimal effort!

 

Step 4: How to Release the Smoke in Your Gravity Bong

Now is the fun part - you get to smoke! Lift the bowl out of the tube and put your mouth over the hole. Get ready to inhale, and voila you smoked your gravity bong!


Gravity Bong FAQs 

What is a Gravity Bong?

A gravity bong is a smoking accessory, NOT a science experiment. Even though it uses air pressure and water displacement to gather smoke, it is in fact a bong, just not your grandma’s bong! 

 

Why should I use a Gravity Bong? 

Gravity bongs pack a potent hit without wasting a lot of flower; that’s why these pieces are perfect for parties, group seshes, or the stoner looking for a powerful piece. 

 

Why use Glass over a DIY Gravity Bong?

The simple answer is SAFETY! Whenever combustion is involved, we just want to be aware of what we are inhaling. Glass is much safer than the plastic, tinfoil, and duct tape messes of the past. I know 90s kids love nostalgia… but we can do better! 


What Lighter Do I Use with a Gravity Bong?

A standard BIC lighter will likely burn your fingers, so try using hemp wick, a candle lighter, or a torch lighter instead. 

 

My Bong Smells Bad... How to Clean It?

Cleaning a gravity bong is very easy. Rinse it with warm water after each use and deep clean it regularly with sea salt and 70%+ isopropyl alcohol. For detailed steps, check out our guide on how to clean a gravity bong.

 

Final Thought: Why Buy a Gloop Gravity Bong?
