The Necessity of Bongs With Cases
Bong cases keep your bong, dab rig, and glass pipes safe when you're on the go or need them to be securely stored. You can also use them to store smoking accessories, such as glass adapters and bowls.
But they do more than protect from harm during transit or storage. They're also about keeping your bong in good shape for the foreseeable future, extending its lifetime.
The added benefit is that they create a smell-proof barrier that prevents pungent odors from escaping during storage. This is perfect if you don't want to stink up your apartment.
When picking out an ideal bong bag, ensure it's made from robust materials, has a padded inside, and a dependable locking mechanism.
Don't compromise on your bongs' safety by opting for cheaper options. These are usually weak substitutes that could lead to expensive replacements.
1. Protection
A good bong case protects your glassware when transporting or storing it, preventing damage. It cushions the blow if it falls over, keeping your bong safe.
It does this by keeping your bong secure within that case, preventing it from moving around.
A travel bag is padded inside to protect a glass water pipe so that if a drop or knock does occur, the padding absorbs the impact rather than the glass.
2. Portability
Bongs with cases make transporting your bong simpler and more secure. You no longer have to worry about wrapping it in clothes or towels—simply put it in its dedicated bong protection bag and carry it with you.
Or, if you're flying with a bong, you now have the peace of mind to store it with your other travel luggage in the plane's hold.
3. Discretion
A bong case provides physical security and discretion. In certain situations, it is best to keep bongs out of sight even if they are legal in your area, so selecting a case that offers discretion is essential.
This is important if you store your bong at home and want to keep it out of sight of visiting guests.
Or, if you have children, a water pipe should always be kept out of a child's reach, so it is advisable to use secure storage cases in this situation.
4. Smell Proof
We all know that bongs can get partially smelly, especially if they haven't been cleaned. Bongs with cases are designed to be smell-proof, with airtight seals and specialized materials that effectively trap and contain odors.
No matter how potent the aroma of the herb or resin in your used bong might be, a smell-proof bong bag keeps it discreet.
Whether you keep your bong at home or take it with you, a smell-proof case keeps the cannabis smell hidden. This keeps your privacy and reduces the chance of attracting unwanted attention.
The Different Types of Bong Cases
You can choose from many types of bong cases, but the most common ones are hardshell cases and soft bags. They are made to meet different needs and preferences.
Hardshell Bong Cases
Hardshell bong cases are sturdy protectors made from durable materials like plastic or metal.
These cases offer superior protection against physical damage due to their robust construction. However, they might be bulkier than their softer counterparts.
For those who prioritize the safety of their glassware over anything else, hardshell cases prove to be an excellent choice.
Durable Construction
The standout feature of hardshell bong cases is their robust build. They're usually made from high-grade plastic or metal to resist impact and prevent damage to your precious gear.
However, we've constructed our bong case from eco-friendly recycled cardboard paper. This doesn't sound all that protective, but the construction has been hardened and fortified to provide a similar level of protection as a plastic case.
We've chosen these biodegradable materials as they have a carbon-neutral footprint, which aligns with our mission to plant one tree for every bong we sell.
Investing in a VITAE Glass piece lets you enjoy your session knowing you're helping an environmental cause.
Built-in Foam Inserts
Foam inserts inside these tough shells keep everything snug and secure. This design guarantees that the parts do not shift while being transported, diminishing the likelihood of damage.
Versatility in Sizes
You can find hard case options suited for various sizes of bongs, including small and tall ones. So, whether you have a compact piece or an elaborate setup, there's likely a case out there designed just right for it.
Potential Drawbacks
While they excel in protection, hardshell cases are bulkier than soft bags. But if safety is your top priority when transporting your glass bongs - this minor inconvenience may not seem like much of an issue.
If you're looking for a hardshell bong case, we recommend the ones provided by 420Science.

Soft Bong Bags
In contrast, soft bong bags are typically lighter and more portable but provide less protection compared to hardshell bags. These bags are made of flexible materials like canvas, nylon, or neoprene. They usually have padded interiors for extra cushioning when carrying things. Typically, these bags resemble a duffle bag.
If you value convenience and portability over absolute protection, consider getting a soft bag case. It provides ample security while ensuring your piece remains easy to carry around.
Remember that both options have different strengths that fit different needs.
The Advantages of Soft Bong Bags
A key benefit is their lightweight design, which makes carrying them around easy while on the move. Plus, they are less bulky than their hardshell counterparts, making storage more manageable when space is at a premium.
Many soft bong bags come with adjustable straps, too, offering you convenience and comfort during transport.
Potential Drawbacks of Soft Bong Bags
Soft bong bags are useful but may not protect as well as hardshell cases during transportation. Soft bongs are better suited for storage when the water pipe is not being used.
420Science also has a great selection of soft bong bags to choose from.

Protecting Glass Bongs with Cases
Bong cases are crucial for preserving the integrity of your glass bongs. They safeguard them from unexpected impacts, scratches, and even breakage. This is particularly true if you own one of our high-end modular bongs.
Silicone bongs and plastic bongs typically don't need as much protection, as dropping them rarely results in breaking.
Selecting The Right Case For Your Bong
The right case will depend largely on your specific needs and preferences. Factors such as size, design of your bong, and how frequently you travel can all influence this decision.
If portability is a high priority for you, then opt for a lightweight yet sturdy option with handles or straps for easy transport.
Cleaning And Maintenance Of Bong Cases
Keeping your case clean helps it last longer and protects your equipment better.
For regular cleaning, use a mild detergent and avoid soaking it completely. This is especially important for materials like nylon or fabric, as they may take longer to dry.
