A bowl is the removable glass piece on a bong or water pipe that you pack your herb into for smoking.
Here’s what it does and how it works
- 🔹 Function: It holds the ground cannabis and connects to the downstem (the part that leads into the bong’s water chamber).
- 🔹 How it works:
- You pack your herb into the bowl.
- Light it while inhaling through the bong’s mouthpiece.
- When you’re ready to clear the smoke, you pull out the bowl slide, allowing fresh air to rush in and clear the chamber.
- 🔹 Material: Usually made of glass, but can also come in metal, silicone, or ceramic.
- 🔹 Sizes: Common joint sizes are 10mm, 14mm, and 18mm, and they can be male or female depending on the bong’s fitting.
- 🔹 Customization: Many come in artistic or colorful designs and can easily be swapped or replaced.
