16" Voyager UFO Bong & Staze Preserve Jar

Q: Are 16-inch bongs the best size for me?

When it comes to size, the bigger the bong, the bigger the hits. For high-tolerance smokers looking for pure one-hit-KO power that can send you to the stratosphere, bigger bongs (such as the 23” Voyager) are the way to go. However, their larger size also takes up more space and makes them less portable and discreet.

For most smokers, medium-sized bongs (8 to 16 inches) are usually the safest bet as they offer more balanced hits with better filtration. 16-inch glass bongs like this one can satisfy most users’ smoking needs and are pretty much the one-size-fits-all gold standard. 16-inch bongs are also easier to handle for intermediate and less experienced smokers than other bigger options.

Q: Are beaker bongs better than straight tube bongs?

Our 16-inch Voyager is a modular glass bong with a beaker-style base. The wider water surface area of the beaker base allows it to create bigger bubbles than a straight tube which in turn gives you better filtration and smoother hits.

Straight tube bongs, on the other hand, are an excellent choice for those who prefer crisper and cleaner hits. The hits are easier to control with a smaller chamber and you don’t have to pull as hard to fill or clear the bong. Newer straight tube bongs can also offer filtration that is comparable to beaker bongs through the addition of percolators. Our 16-inch Tri-UFO Bong, for example, comes with 3 honeycomb disc percs and a pristine UFO that can provide smooth hits that can stand toe-to-toe with any beaker bongs on the market.

Q: What’s so special about the Voyager’s design?

The Voyager’s innovative combination of percolators creates a high level of filtration that few other 16-inch bongs out there can ever match. Smoke begins to diffuse from the time it passes through the inline downstem into the water for cooling down. The honeycomb percolator then breaks down the smoke into smaller bubbles before allowing it to reach the UFO percolator above for further diffusion. This process creates a heavenly smooth hit while keeping draw resistance at a bare minimum.

The modular design of our 16-inch glass bong also means it can be easily dissembled for cleaning and storing in your luggage when you travel. It also allows you to add in or change parts of your bong anytime you want.
