Premium Bong Bowls, Bowl Pieces, and Glass Slides

A bong bowl, called also bong slide, is a removable component of a bong or water pipe that holds the smoking material, such as flowers or other dry herbs. It is typically made of glass and attached to the downstem of the bong. The herb is placed inside the glass bowl. Then, the user ignites the dry herbs with a lighter or a match while simultaneously inhaling through the mouthpiece of the bong. The smoke passes through the water in the glass smoking pipe, which helps to cool and filter it, resulting in a smoother and more enjoyable smoking experience.

A great session starts with the perfect bong bowl piece (or glass slide). Find the best replacement or upgrade for your favorite water pipe in our definitive collection. We stock durable, heat-resistant borosilicate glass bowls in all essential sizes, styles, and joint types to ensure a flawless fit and an amazing smoke session every time.

The Ultimate Bong Bowl Size Chart: 14mm vs. 18mm

Compatibility is the most important factor when buying a replacement bong bowl. You need to match two key variables to your water pipe: Joint Size and Joint Gender.

Joint Size: 14mm vs. 18mm

Most standard bongs use either a 14mm bowl piece or an 18mm bowl piece. To check yours, measure the inner diameter of the bong's joint opening.

14mm (14.5mm): The most common size for medium to small water pipes.
18mm (18.8mm): Used on larger bongs for increased air flow and stability.

Joint Gender: Male vs. Female Bong Bowl

The rule is simple: if your bong has a male joint (the downstem/joint points up), you need a female bowl. If your bong has a female joint (the receiver), you need a male bowl piece (also called a bong slide).

Male Bowls: Fit into a female joint (the majority of bongs).
Female Bowls: Fit onto a male joint (common for oil rigs, less common for bongs).

Bowl vs. Nail (Banger): Understanding the Difference

Often confused, bowls and nails serve fundamentally different purposes and materials. Here is a quick guide to distinguish your flower piece from your concentrate piece:

Feature	Bong Bowl / Slide	Dab Nail / Banger
Primary Use	Dry Herbs (Flower)	Concentrates (Wax, Shatter)
Heating Method	Direct flame ignition inside the bowl.	External torch heating; material is applied to the hot surface (dabbing).
Common Material	Borosilicate Glass	Quartz or Titanium

Quality Glass for Maximum Durability

All our glass bowl pieces are made from high-quality, thermal-resistant borosilicate glass. This material ensures that the bowls can withstand the constant temperature changes from lighting your material without cracking, giving you a reliable replacement part.

How to Clean a Bong Bowl: Tips for a Pristine Hit

A dirty bowl piece can ruin the flavor of even the best material. Here’s the simplest and most effective way to clean your glass bong bowl or slide:

The Soak: Place your bowl piece into a small, sealable container.
The Solution: Fill the container with 90%+ isopropyl alcohol (or a dedicated glass cleaner).
The Scrubber: Add a tablespoon of coarse salt (Epsom or rock salt) to act as an abrasive.
The Shake: Seal the container tightly and shake vigorously for 1-2 minutes. The alcohol dissolves the resin, and the salt scrapes off stuck-on gunk.
The Rinse: Remove the bowl and rinse it thoroughly under warm running water to remove all alcohol and salt residue.
