A typical bong is made of few components, as noted on the picture:
1 A mouthpiece, where the users mouth is placed over, sealing out air through that hole. Thus the bong is airtight (providing there is also an airtight seal around the stem. If a carb is present, it must also be covered). When airtight it has but one small source of air, which comes into effect when the user inhales through the mouth piece. If all the smoke isnt removed from the bong in a single hit, the user can place their mouth again over the bong to again inhale, or hover their mouth closely over the bong to slowly inhale the smoke.
2 A chamber, where smoke collects. When enough smoke has accumulated it is finally inhaled. This is accelerated by using a carb or by removing the bowl, which allows air to enter the chamber when inhalation takes place. The height and width of the chamber can vary, this changes the volume.
3 A base, which holds the water, is usually wider than the chamber so it can stand-alone without tipping (see the consequences of a spillage.) The bottom of the stem sits in the water, on an angle. The opening at the bottom of the stem must be underwater to bubble the water. The water temperature will affect the temperature of the smoke inhaled (e.g. a bong with water and crushed ice as a filter will allow the user to inhale cooler smoke, providing a less harsh experience). Some bongs also have a removable, water-tight base, for easy changing of the bong water.
4 A stem (a.k.a. female piece), sits in the base and pokes out of the chamber at a degree higher than the water level. It holds the conepiece/bowl and enables smoke to pass through the water when in use. The stem collects resin over time which can clog the stem, and reduce the air flow through the water.
5 A bowl (sometimes called a conepiece or a male piece), is usually a removable cup or cone shaped container, where the cannabis is packed and ignited. In rare occasions the bowl is not removable. Made of metal, glass, or ceramic, a bowl can be joined to the stem, or can just sit in the stem. The bowl forms a seal around the stem so that the only inlet of air is through the bowl. Over time burnt residue will collect on parts of the bowl.
Additional parts
· A carb allows for an accelerated withdrawl of smoke from the chamber. It is often a simple hole in the wall of the chamber(covered by a finger or removable seal). When smoke is inhaled through the mouthpiece and the carb is uncovered, air enters through the carb and pushes the present smoke out through the mouthpiece. This extra hole is not usually present in a bong with a removable bowl, as removing the bowl also allows more air to flow in to displace the smoke, eliminating the need for a carb.
· A second (or more) chamber(s) can be attached to a
bong to multiply the filtration, for a smoother intake of smoke. Such an apparatus may be referred to as a double bubbler.
· A diffuser is a down pipe/tube or down stem that has a capped end with small holes in it. This makes the smoke bubbles coming out of the downpipe and into the water smaller, and as a result, the filtration is more effective.
