With the spread of mairjuana legalization and an ever-growing range of products on the market, there have never been more ways to consume cannabis. But that's hardly an indication that the OG methods are falling by the wayside.

Yes, vapes and edibles continue to take up a growing portion of the market, with concentrate sales jumping nearly 50% from 2017 to 2018. But the classic blunts , joints , and bongs remain popular among die-hard weed enthusiasts and maintain a cultural bedrock status for cannabis consumption.  

As a result, glass enthusiasts and casual bong users alike have a plethora of bong brands and online head shops to choose from, and it can be tricky to figure out which brands are worth your time from and which are producing sub-par quality glassware.

That's why we're offering a list of the best bong brands that both glass enthusiasts and enthusiastic newcomers should know about in 2020. Whether you're looking for a basic setup or some high-quality smokable glass art, these are the brands most likely to compliment your flower-combusting experience.
