Borosilicate glass bongs are very popular and for good reason. But what exactly are borosilicate glass Bongs and why are they so popular and good?
Borosilicate Glass Bongs
There are good reasons to make bongs and other accessories from borosilicate glass instead of soft or “regular” glass. First, borosilicate glass Bongs are stronger and more durable than soft glass Bongs. If you use the Bongs a lot, it's good to know that the Bongs can easily be used for years. But there is more. Perhaps the most important reason for using borosilicate glass to make water bongs is that they are much more resistant to extreme temperature and thermal shock (rapid temperature changes). So, it does not break even in extreme heat and does not break even when washed with hot water. Another great advantage of borosilicate glass is its high resistance to corrosion. It ensures that the Bongs remain clean and sharp, and look like new.
Borosilicate glass is easier to clean than soft glass Bongs thanks to its smooth and impervious surface. This also makes chipping on the glass very unusual.
The Main Advantages of Borosilicate Glass Are:
Are borosilicate glass Bongs worth it? Of course, if you ask us. There are many good borosilicate Bongs available today and in stock.
What Is Borosilicate Glass?
According to Wikipedia: "Borosilicate glass is a type of glass that contains silica and boron trioxide as the main glass-forming components. Borosilicate glass is known to have a very low coefficient of thermal expansion (~3 × 10−6 K−1 20 °C). Other common More resistant to thermal shock than glass These glasses are not subjected to thermal stress and are commonly used in the manufacture of reagent bottles Borosilicate glass is known by these trade names Sold as Borcam, Borosil, Duran, Suprax, Simax, BSA 60, BSC 51 (Courtesy of NIPro), Heatex, Endural, Shot, Refmax, Kimble, MG (India) and some (but not all) Pyrex trade names."
Different Types of Glass Bongs
Although more and more Bongs are made of borosilicate glass, there are many Bongs made of "plain" glass. why? Simple: cheaper than borosilicate glass. There is a high demand for cheap Bongs, which is the main reason many companies continue to produce soft glass Bongs. At Little Goa, we prefer borosilicate glass for our Bongs because of their many benefits, but we also stock regular glass Bongs for those looking for their first Bongs or want to use them for parties and festivities such as one-off programs. . If the Bong is likely to break or disappear at the end of the night, why not buy a cheap Bong instead of throwing away the high-quality borosilicate glass bong?
Other Applications of Borosilicate Glass
Although most glassware is not made of borosilicate glass, it is still widely used. Frequently used to produce oven dishes, laboratory glassware (reagent bottles, test tubes, beakers), medical, lighting (flashlights, high-pressure sodium lighting), aquariums, telescopes, and aerospace components. All these applications have one thing in common. The great advantage is that the properties of borosilicate glass such as thermal shock resistance, corrosion resistance, and optical clarity can be obtained.
