Want to upgrade your bong but not sure where to start? Whether you are a beginner who just picked up your first piece or a seasoned smoker looking for better filtration and style, there are simple accessories that can transform your setup. In this guide, we cover 7 practical ways to upgrade your bong — from swapping out bowls to adding an e-nail for dabbing.
Why You Should Upgrade Your Bong
Most bongs come with a basic bowl and a down stem — functional, but nothing special. By adding a few affordable accessories, you can improve filtration, make cleaning easier, enhance aesthetics, and even unlock the ability to dab concentrates. Here are 7 ways to upgrade your bong and get more from every session.
1. Swap Your Bowl or Slide
The easiest way to upgrade your bong is by switching out the bowl. Art bowls with unique designs instantly make your piece look better. Beyond aesthetics, bowl shape matters for function. Narrow-mouth bowls hold ground herb without pulling through, while wide-mouth bowls work better with broken-up nugs or a screen. A new bowl is a cheap, simple upgrade that changes both the look and feel of your setup.
2. Add a Bong Clip
Ever pull your bowl out to carb a hit and accidentally yank the down stem with it? Bong clips solve that problem. These small connectors hold your down stem firmly in place so pieces stay connected during use. They come in multiple sizes (14mm, 18mm, etc.), so make sure you match the clip to your joint size. It is a tiny investment that prevents costly accidents.
3. Upgrade Your Bong With an Ash Catcher
An ash catcher sits between your bowl and down stem, catching debris before it enters your bong water. The result? Your bong stays cleaner much longer, and you only need to clean the ash catcher regularly instead of scrubbing your entire piece. Most ash catchers also add a small layer of water filtration, giving you smoother hits. This is one of the best upgrades for anyone who hates cleaning.
