⭐ How Much Water is Enough?

The general rule is to fill the bong so that the downstem (the tube that connects the bowl to the body of the bong) is submerged approximately between 1 and 1.5 inches (2.5 and 3.8 cm) in the water. However, this measure can vary depending on several factors:

Bong Model: Bongs of different shapes and sizes will require different water levels.
Type of Percolator: Bongs with sophisticated percolators may need adjustments in the amount of water to function properly.
Personal Preference: Some users prefer more water for a cooler smoke, while others opt for less to avoid resistance when inhaling.

⛳ Adjustment According to the Type of Bong

Classic/Straight Glass Bongs or other materials: Fill until the downstem is adequately submerged.
Percolator Bongs: Make sure the percolator is almost completely covered, leaving the top uncovered with water and without overfilling to prevent splashing.
Mini Bongs: With less space, it is crucial to add water little by little and test until you find the perfect balance.
Recycler Bongs: These require precision to ensure that the recycling system works smoothly, filling up to the indicated marks if there are any.
