A glass water pipe, also known as a bong, is a type of smoking device that typically consists of a water-filled chamber and a vertical tube or stem that leads to a mouthpiece. The water in the chamber cools and filters the smoke as it passes through, which can provide a smoother smoking experience than smoking directly from a pipe or cigarette.
Many glass water pipes also feature additional features such as percolators, which further filter and cool the smoke, or ice notches, which allow users to add ice cubes to the chamber for an even cooler smoke. Glass water pipes come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and designs, and are often highly decorative and artistic. They are commonly used for smoking dry herbs or tobacco, but can also be used for smoking concentrates or oils with the use of special attachments or adapters.
