What you need to know
Bong smoking for beginners:
A bong is a water pipe that you use to filter smoke through water before you inhale it. This makes the smoke cooler and more pleasant. It consists of a bowl (for the smoking material), a chillum (directs the smoke into the water) and a mouthpiece.
There are various bongs, e.g. made of glass, acrylic or silicone. Glass bongs are the most popular because they deliver the best flavour.
The biggest advantage: the smoke is smoother and the effect stronger than with other methods. Perfect for beginners who are looking for an intense but pleasant experience!

Preparing the bong: The most important steps before smoking
Before you get started, you need to prepare your bong properly:
- Fill with water - The water level should slightly cover the chillum, but not be too high.
- Stuff the bowl - Loose material ensures better airflow, so don't stuff the bowl too tightly.
- Check the kick hole (if present) - Keep it closed when drawing and only open it when you want to inhale the smoke.
When everything is in place, you're ready for your first puff!
This is how it works step by step
Bong smoking guide
Smoking a bong looks complicated, but it's really easy once you know the technique. First, place your lips loosely against the mouthpiece without touching it with your teeth. Then hold the lighter to your head and draw slowly so that the smoke collects in the bong body. It's important that you draw evenly and not too hastily, otherwise it can become unpleasant.
As soon as there is enough smoke in the bong, release the kick hole (if your bong has one) or remove the chillum. Now inhale the smoke in one go - depending on your experience, you can inhale more or less deeply. Beginners should take it slowly and not hold the smoke in their lungs for too long. If you do everything right, smoking with the bong is more intense and smoother than with other methods.

Bong smoking tips: How to make your smoking experience even better
There are a few simple tricks to make your bong experience pleasant and effective. A good water level is crucial - too little water doesn't filter the smoke properly, too much makes it difficult to draw. Make sure that the chillum is just barely covered.
If the smoke is too hot for you, you can put ice cubes in the bong. This will make the smoke cooler and softer on the throat. You should also not stuff the bowl too tightly so that enough air is drawn through.
If you often have to cough while smoking, take a slow and steady drag instead of inhaling hastily. Practice makes perfect - you'll find your perfect technique over time!
