And yes, we can talk about cool bong bowls, bong cases, bong adapters, and the like, but nothing is more valuable than a good bong filter! Keep reading to learn more about what bong filters are and how you can get good water pipe filters for sale - only at our online headshop.

How Do You Use a Bong Filter?

The filter for bongs can come in many shapes and sizes, but its primary purpose is to process the smoke before it enters your mouth and lungs. You’ll get excellent, more pleasant smoke, which will be tastier and much healthier! The way you can use a bong filter depends on the type of filter you get! While there are almost innumerable types of bong filters out there, the most commonly encountered ones are:

Carbon filters
Pipe screens
Water filters (percolators)
Ash catchers

Although very different, all of these are meant to be attached to the bong before smoking and then removed once your session’s over. They process the smoke you ingest, making it smoother, healthier, and cooler.

Carbon Filters and Pipe Screens

Carbon filters and pipe screens function similarly. They are like small sieves that you insert either at the mouthpiece, or between the chamber and the downstem. Carbon filters and screens prevent bong water and resin, ash, and other micro-substances from entering your mouth. Some of them also cool down the smoke, making it more accessible. These are especially useful for smokers who have asthma.

Water Filters - Percolators and Diffused Downstems

Another helpful type of bong filter is a water filter, which filters the bong water as the name suggests. Percs have more or less the same function, which may come as separate attachments, or integrated parts of your bong (or downstem). Percs come in various shapes and sizes, such as:

Showerhead
Barrel
Honeycomb
Tree
Downstem
Cross
Swiss
Inline
Matrix

The main aim of percs and diffused downstems is to cool down the air you ingest, immediately making it more palatable. They additionally filter the smoke, making it smoother, without any ash and resin.

Ash Catchers

On that note, ash catchers can also function as a filter for bongs. An ash catcher is a separate glass accessory that filters your smoke before it even gets to the main chamber, retaining most of the ash and resin. Ash catchers often come with integrated percs and diffused downstems, adding extra filtration.

Are Bong Filters Worth It?

In many ways, yes, a bong filter is definitely worth it! It will make your smoking much more pleasant (resulting in longer sessions, more hits, and a better high), but it’s also great for your lungs. However, you should always consider prices - pipe filters for sale shouldn’t be more expensive than your whole bong. Buy smartly, and you won’t regret your purchase!

How Often Should You Change Your Bong Filter?

It depends on the type of filter you opt for! For instance, a percolator, or an ash catcher, shouldn’t be replaced but, rather, regularly cleaned. However, a pipe screen will have to be changed from time to time. As soon as you notice resin and other types of filth piling up around the bong filter, clogging it almost completely, you may want to try and do something about that. Try cleaning it first. Use a bong cleaner, isopropyl alcohol, vinegar, and boiling water. Repeat this several times. After about 6-7 uses, though, a disposable filter is probably ripe for replacement. Alternatively, if cleaning it doesn’t do the trick, with the gelatinous mass stubbornly remaining stuck to the filter, you probably shouldn’t wait to replace it. Trust us; you don’t want the bong filter to additionally contaminate the smoke.

How to Clean a Bong Filter?

A bong filter can easily be cleaned in the same way you clean your bong. Simply rinse it with hot water, and let it soak in a bong cleaner, high concentration isopropyl alcohol or vinegar. After about 10-15 minutes, rinse it with hot water again, and scrub all resin off. The bong filter should be as good as new! Feel free to repeat this procedure about 6-7 times until you deem it time to start using a new filter.

How Do You Make a Bong Filter?

Use a thin cloth, such as the one used to wipe your glasses or computer screen. Wring it out once it has been thoroughly soaked. Put it over your pipe's mouthpiece and smoke through it. This acts like a colander, filtering the smoke as it enters your mouth.

How Long Does a Bong Filter Last?

There is no exact answer because it is dependent on the frequency and intensity of your bong use. However, according to certain customers, the filter can last up to 30 vape hits during sessions. We recommend replacing it periodically for maximum function and taste improvement.

Should I Use a Filter For My Bong?

The short answer is yes. You should use a filter for your own protection. Bong filters were developed as an extra attachment to keep tar, resin, particulates, and other impurities out of your lungs.
