by | Apr 23, 2013 | Shopping and Fashion

Head Shops In Long Island carry a wide range and variety of water pipes. The shops have bongs to suit your unique smoking needs and you budget. With the ever growing number of pipes, bongs and hookahs that are available, there are a number of factors you need to consider when you set out to buy one.

A bong is a device that is used to smoke tobacco or marijuana. They are considerably cooler to smoke than a pipe or joint, the reason for this is quite simple; they are filled with water or even ice, either of which cools the smoke before you inhale. A bong will allow for larger tokes, you will require fewer hits than when using other smoking methods.

This guide will give you a few pointers on how to select a bong and the merits of purchasing from head shops in Long Island or from an online head shop. The final bit of advice is how to get your bong home, discretely.

Choosing the bong:
Bongs come in a variety of sizes, shapes and materials. When making a purchase consider two things; the price and where are you going to store it. If your running on a tight budget and your only space is a tiny bedroom, go for a handheld bong. If money means nothing and your living room is going to showcase your bong, go for a colorful one that stands six feet tall. The truth is; most bongs fall between these two goalposts.

Bongs are available in plastic, ceramic bamboo and glass. Although glass is by far the most fragile, it also gives the cleanest and most pure smoke. A glass bong does not give off any vapors when it is heated and they are by far, the most ornate.

A plastic bong can replicate the look of a glass bong, but not the purity. Although a plastic bong will be more difficult to break, you will taste the chemicals.

Where to buy the bong:
Once you have researched the various options, the next phase is to make the buy. There are two choices, one is from one of the head shops in Long Island, and the other is from one of the many on-line resellers. If you are lucky to live in a large city, you will be spoiled for choice, however if you live in a smaller town, an on-line purchase may suit you better. Regardless, you will have to be 18 years old no matter where you buy it.
Prices can vary dramatically in the various head shops in Long Island. Take a look at them all, pick the one you want and, remember, haggling is all part of the head shop culture, just don’t go overboard.

Of all the head shops in Long island, you are invited to BURN, a head shop established exclusively for the residents of Long Island. They carry a wide array of hand-blown bongs and pipes.
