Flaschenbongs sind die einfache Alternative zur klassischen Bong: günstig, transportabel und sofort nutzbar. Doch wie gut sind Bong-Aufsätze wirklich – und für wen machen sie Sinn?
Bottle bongs are another popular alternative to the classic bong. This version of the bong basically consists of nothing more than a bowl and a chillum, and simply gets pushed onto a bottle. Naturally this version has its pros and cons too, which we'll walk through below.

Advantages of bottle bongs
- Bottle bongs are easy to use. You just push the attachment onto any standard bottle and it's ready to go right away.
- Bottle bongs are easy to carry. Since there's nothing fragile to transport, you can just drop a bottle-bong attachment into your pocket or backpack and take it anywhere.
- Bottle bongs are very cheap. Because they're only a small amount of material that clicks together easily, bottle bongs usually cost less than 10 euros, not counting the bottle, of course.
Disadvantages of bottle bongs
- Bottle bongs are basic and usually not particularly sturdy. Buying one shouldn't be seen as a long-term investment. More often than not, the metal parts give up early to rust or get damaged in transit.
- Bottle bongs aren't much to look at. Even if the sight of a beer bottle can occasionally lift the mood, these makeshift pieces simply can't compete with a proper bong.
- Bottle bongs cool poorly and don't draw all that well. Since these attachments are really meant for festivals and the like, you shouldn't expect the smoking comfort of a full-fledged bong.
