Got a bit of disposable income and a desire to upgrade your cannabis experience? Then read on, this might just be the luxury gravity bong you have been looking for!
Introduction
My first time smoking cannabis was a quickly assembled joint. It had been hastily rolled, resembling a messy unfiltered cigarette more than anything else, and was shared between me and my friends. I took a few puffs of it, but the smoke felt so harsh in my throat and lungs that I couldn’t help but cough for what felt like forever. Mixing in some actual cigarette tobacco with the weed and adding a little piece of rolled card at the top made for an easier, smoother draw, but who wants to smoke tobacco? You might get addicted!
Review: Stündenglass Modül
Tired of holding a lighter over your weed while turning the globes on your Stündenglass Kompact Gravity Infuser? Not happy having a collection of attachments and adapters to hook up your vape? Well, never fear! The Stündenglass Modül is here!…
Too Harsh
At the time, I thought this was how marijuana was meant to be smoked, and that a coughing fit was part of the experience; it wasn’t until much later that I found out about an alternative way – gravity bongs. When someone suggested using one to smoke, I figured why not give it a try?
The difference between smoking from a joint or pipe and a gravity bong was immediately noticeable. The smoke from the latter is cooled significantly due to the water displacement technology and opposing airflow design used in its construction. This makes for an incredibly smooth draw without all of the harshness associated with other methods. Plus the water filtration means you don’t have to worry about burning yourself or inhaling any ash particles.
In addition to providing optimal cooling capabilities and smoother draws, gravity bongs are also much more efficient than their traditional counterparts. A single inhale from a gravity bong can deliver up to three times as much cannabinoids into your system compared to other methods – meaning you get more bang for your buck!
I Am Old
And now that I’m a bit older and can have nice things, what better way to enjoy smoking marijuana than with the best glass gravity bong on the market?

What is a Gravity Bong?
A gravity bong is a smoking device that harnesses the power of gravity to create a smooth and efficient inhalation experience. It works by filling a bowl with water and then submerging it into an empty bottle or chamber. When lit, the smoke is drawn through the bowl and up into the chamber, where it’s cooled by the water before being released through the hose. As the smoke enters the chamber, it creates a vacuum-like effect, which forces more smoke out of the bowl faster than normal. The resulting draw is smooth and requires less effort from the user.
Let’s Talk About The Best Gravity Bongs
The gravity bong is a great alternative to regular smoking methods. It involves using gravity and air pressure to fill up the chamber with smoke, which can be inhaled in one powerful hit. There are several types of gravity bongs…
The gravity bong gets its name from its use of gravity to move smoke into and out of its chamber. As mentioned, when submerged in water, air will be pushed out at higher pressure than normal due to water and air pressure differences between submerged and non-submerged areas. This pressure difference allows for a greater quantity of smoke to be inhaled in one breath compared to what could be achieved from a traditional bong or joint. Additionally, thanks to this unique design, users can enjoy cooler draws since all of their smoke travels through water before entering their lungs.
The Stündenglass Gravity Kompact Infuser is a Glass Gravity Bong for Adults
The Stündenglass (hourglass in German) Kompact Gravity Infuser (it can be used to infuse flavored smoke into food or drinks, but who are we kidding) is a luxury good of the highest quality and refinement. It offers an unparalleled experience, combining premium materials with advanced technology to create a truly unique product. When you’re using it you can feel the heft and the quality – it’s a serious piece of kit, not a cheap plastic throwaway or an improvised plastic bottle bong.
The Kompact is a rotating gravity bong. It features two glass globes (made of borosilicate glass) connected by aircraft grade anodized aluminum and borosilicate glass components, as well as an adjustable mouthpiece for contactless consumption. It also includes a custom-fit travel case and accessories such as an aluminum bowl kit and glass liner that makes it perfect for on-the-go use. With its sleek design, high-performance capabilities, and luxurious feel, the Stündenglass Kompact Gravity Infuser is sure to make you popular!
What is the Effect of Water Filtration on Cannabis Smoke?
One of the most popular ways of smoking cannabis is to use a water pipe (also known as a bong or a hookah). Water pipes are used to filter weed smoke through water. They do this in a variety of…
How Does the Stündenglass Gravity Bong work?
The Stündenglass Gravity Bong has a unique design with a rotated 360° glass water piece consisting of two borosilicate glass globes, a bowl to place the marijuana (an aircraft grade aluminum plate assembly coal tray and a glass liner that is compatible with a 14mm vaporizer), and an optional rubber hose attachment so you can sit back and pass it around.
To set up, fill the lower glass globe with water and load up the bowl with weed (or shisha tobacco or whatever). Light the weed and flip the glass globe assembly. As the water flows into the lower chamber it causes negative air pressure in the top chamber, pulling in the smoke from the bowl through the water and cooling it. Now you are primed! Flip the assembly again and a steady stream of smoke will be forced out through the hose. Just inhale!
This is where the opposing airflow technology comes in. With each rotation, the movement of the water both pulls new smoke and pushes the existing smoke so once you’ve started you can just keep rotating, and as long as the flower is burning you can take hit after hit without interruption. You also have a lot of control of the smoke that comes out by controlling the rotation – just turn the assembly so that the chamber only fills halfway and you get half the smoke. Turn it slowly and the smoke comes out slowly. A bespoke draw every time!
Keeping It Clean
This gravity bong also comes with its own easy cleaning kit, which is a very welcome addition. Keep some isopropyl alcohol handy to rinse out the globes and you will have an immaculate smoke every time.
Kompact vs Full Size
The Kompact is smaller than the full-size Stündenglass Gravity Bong, but (at the time of writing) the price tag is the same. Why go for the smaller option when the larger one is right there?
Size Isn’t Everything
Well, size isn’t everything! The Kompact is just as powerful and efficient as its full-size counterpart but with a smaller footprint. This makes it easier to transport and store, while still providing the same amazing smoking experience. Additionally, it comes with its own luxury traveling case, making it much easier to tote around to a friend for a pleasant evening of smoking weed in a relaxed and civilized manner.
And while the chambers in the regular-size gravity bong are certainly larger and therefore you get more in a hit, the Kompact delivers plenty. I can’t imagine wanting more, and I can’t see how anyone could take in all the smoke from the larger size.
Accessorize
One area where the full-size glass gravity bong wins out is the variety of options and accessories available. There is a Dr. Greenthumb version, a Taylor Gang version if you’re a Wiz Khalifa fan, and even a Mike Tyson 2.0 version! The full-size bong also has a variety of other accessories available, such as colored globes and LED uplighters. The Kompact is shortchanged in this department, with only some (admittedly pretty cool) pineapple glass globes to buy. You can also get a glass mouthpiece to replace the supplied plastic one, or one with an interesting design, and there is a wall mounter (although having it locked in place doesn’t seem useful to me).
Conclusion
Who doesn’t love glass bongs? Who doesn’t love gravity bongs? Who doesn’t love a glass gravity bong? Cooling your cannabis smoke is essential if you find pure cannabis joints or simple pipes to be harsh. You can use a water pipe or a hookah, but the kinetic motion activation and cascading water displacement, the use of natural force, makes the Stündenglass gravity infuser a pleasure for the eye and the brain as well as the lungs. It has a hefty price tag, but it comes with a 10-year extended warranty so this could be the last bong you ever buy. And it will of course get you absolutely ripped!
