Step 1) Select a Mouthpiece 

Mouthpieces change how the hit feels. Straight tubes keep airflow direct, while shaped options soften the pull a bit. We have mouthpieces with percolators built in, too! Go with what feels natural for how you inhale.

Step 2) Add a Percolator or Ash Catcher 

A percolator bong is perfect for cooler, easier rips. Those little “percs” tone down the harshness of smoke by breaking it into a bunch of tiny bubbles. On the other hand, an ash catcher keeps your main chamber cleaner between washers. 

You can run one, both, or neither. That’s why you should build your own bong at VITAE Glass - it’s totally up to you! 

Step 3) Choose a Base

A taller bong base gives you more water and smoother pulls, whereas shorter ones keep things punchy and easier to manage. Think about where you’ll hit your piece the most and how much space you want on the table.

Step 4) Pick a Connector Ring

This is what brings all the components together, and the custom bong comes to life. Each ring locks your pieces in place while keeping them easy to separate when it’s time to clean or switch things up.

We’ll Take Care of the Rest!

Put your build in the cart and we’ll handle it from there, handcrafting your customized bong to perfection and getting it shipped to your doorstep quickly and discreetly so you can spark up that first bowl ASAP!

VITAE Glass started with one simple idea: bongs should be easier to live with. The vision to build your own bong came from real use, real cleaning headaches, and a desire to build glass that lasts longer than a single crack.

Cleaning Made Easy

Every part comes apart in seconds so you never have to wrestle a full-size bong under a sink, take a shower with your glass, or use a garden hose. Clean smaller pieces with precision and enjoy faster rinses, fewer spills, and way less stress during cleanup.

Balancing Form and Function

You don’t have to choose between a bong that looks like a work of art and hits like a champ. Build your own bong at VITAE Glass for the best of both worlds. The shapes we’ve gone with are intentional - they hit exactly how you expect a premium piece of glass to hit. 

Premium Borosilicate Glass You Can Trust

All VITAE pieces are made from thick, lab-grade borosilicate glass, so you can place your order with peace of mind knowing your new custom bong can handle heat, daily use, regular clouding, maybe even the occasional bump. 

The Possibilities Are Endless

Whether you want a massive 30 inch bong or a smaller 16 inch bong, we make it easy to bring your vision to life here at VITAE Glass. Take a look at some of our glass bongs for sale and see what catches your eye if you’re looking for inspiration! 

What makes a custom bong at VITAE glass so special?

Each setup is built from modular glass parts that clean easily, pack down when needed, and can be rebuilt over time instead of replaced. It’s a balance of durability, customization, convenience, and functionality that other brands just haven’t matched yet. 

How do you build your own bong that matches your vibe?

Start with the size and base that feels right. From there, you can choose airflow and filtration pieces based on how smooth or direct you like your hits.

I don’t feel like building a bong myself - can I still get something one-of-a-kind?

Definitely - we have some awesome pre-made setups that use the same modular bong system, so you still end up with a piece you can change later if you want a different mouthpiece or an extra percolator. 

Are these customizable bongs made from glass or plastic?

All core components are made from thick borosilicate glass. No plastic in the smoking path, so you can enjoy your favorite strain’s flavor profile just as Mother Nature intended. 

Are the custom bong components dishwasher safe?

We recommend hand cleaning. It’s faster, gentler on the glass, and keeps everything looking clear for the long haul.

Can I mix and match components across the VITAE Glass lineup?

Yep - that’s a big reason you should build your own bong here! You can swap parts as your preferences change. It’s quick and easy, and WAY more affordable than buying multiple bongs for different sessions. 

How much water do I put in the bong?

Fill just enough to cover the downstem or percolator openings. Too much water increases the drag and can make it harder to clear the bong. 

How do I clean my custom bong?

Take it apart, rinse each piece, and clean them individually. Smaller sections make the whole process quicker and easier.
