I'm looking to buy a bong for a friend but am having no luck. I used to smoke in the 70's and 80's and know which bongs work, and which ones don't. I'm looking for one that is easy to clean, simple, and small enough to only hold one hit - I hate stale smoke. Back in the day I had one that had a round base where the bowl was attached to a rubber plug. The rubber piece can be removed for easy cleaning. I don't need some crazy art piece or one that looks like a Dyson vacuum in reverse. Anyone know where I can buy one like that? I've already checked Amazon or EBay.
I agree totally. When I shop for a water pipe, I usually buy the smallest, cheapest one they have, which is just as you describe. I like the straight stem that goes vertically into the bowl which isn't too wide, enabling a toothbrush to reach every part for cleaning. Here's a pic of one I bought as a backup cause they do break easily, being made of glass not plastic.
