Choosing the right water pipe can feel overwhelming with so many shapes, sizes, and features available. At High Society Oxford, we believe the best piece is the one that fits your lifestyle, budget, and preferences. Here’s a breakdown of some of the most popular water pipe styles to help you decide.
1. Beaker Bongs
Beaker-style water pipes are classic for a reason. Their wide, triangular base provides excellent stability, making them less likely to tip over. They also hold more water, which means better filtration and smoother hits. Beakers are perfect if you value durability, ease of use, and that traditional feel.
2. Straight Tube Bongs
Straight tubes are sleek, simple, and efficient. Their design allows for quick, powerful pulls with less drag than a beaker. If you like clean hits and easy clearing, a straight tube might be your go-to. They’re also easier to clean thanks to their streamlined shape.
3. Glycerin Coil Bongs
Looking for the coldest, smoothest smoke possible? A glycerin coil is the way to go. These water pipes have detachable coils filled with glycerin that can be frozen before use. When you smoke, the coil cools the hit dramatically—no ice cubes needed. They’re perfect for anyone who loves icy-smooth sessions.
4. 9mm Thick Glass
Thickness matters when it comes to longevity. A 9mm thick glass water pipe is heavy-duty and built to last, making it ideal for daily smokers or anyone prone to accidents. These pieces resist chips and cracks better than thinner glass, giving you peace of mind and long-term value.
5. Percolated Bongs
Percolators take filtration to the next level. By breaking smoke into smaller bubbles, percs cool and smooth each hit while reducing harshness. From tree percs to honeycomb to showerhead styles, each type creates a unique experience. If smoother, cleaner pulls are your priority, a percolated bong will not disappoint.
Final Thoughts
At the end of the day, the best water pipe is the one that fits your personal style and smoking preferences. Whether you want durability, icy-smooth hits, or extra filtration, there’s a perfect match for you. At High Society Oxford, we pride ourselves on carrying a curated selection of glass for every budget—from affordable daily drivers to high-end statement pieces—so you can find exactly what works for you.
