Product FAQs

A modular/custom bong is a piece where you can interchange different bases, percolators, and mouthpieces to create endless design options. Want a small sesh in the morning, but a big bong at night? Well a customizable bong allows you to set it up based on however you are feeling with ease.

The Prism MINI is a more compact version of the Prism Classic, everything you love about our classic in a more compact package! It stands at 10.5” to 13.7”, whereas the Classic (single stack) stands between 13.7” and 17.8”, depending on the mouthpiece used. The mouthpiece diameter is 32mm (1.25”) diameter mouthpiece, while the Prism Classic has a 2” diameter mouthpiece for a larger feel.

No, the Prism MINI line is overall smaller so the threads, downstems, and halos are all a different size than our standard Prism Classic line. To see what Prism MINI is compatible with, check out our MINI collection.

Yes and no. If depends if you have the old clamp style setup verse the threaded Halo style. Each can only be interchangeable within their own system. However, once you purchase a certain system, you can intermix all of our glass types within that system.

No, it is not. The threads on our glass are unique to Prism. HOWEVER, we have linked up with Chill Steel Pipes and designed a special adaptor that connects our mouthpieces and percolators to their metal bases. You can purchase the adaptor here.

YES! We have linked up with Chill Steel Pipes and designed a special adaptor that connects our mouthpieces and percolators to their metal bases. You can purchase the adaptor here.

The Prism custom bong uses a threaded system to tightly secure each piece of glass together with an attachment called the Halo. Our Halos have dual threading on the interior of each end that allows for glass to be threaded securely into place, inside the Halo is a silicone gasket making an airtight/watertight seal. Check out our assembly video for more info.

The Halos feature an aluminum exterior, two molded plastic threads on either end of the interior, and a silicone gasket in the middle to ensure an airtight/watertight seal.

Simply twist one glass piece onto one of the Halo ends, then twist another piece of glass onto the opposite end of the Halo until both ends are secure. Once both ends are fully twisted together, you will not be able to wiggle or move either piece of glass. For more details, check out our assembly video.

Prism has created four unique 3D Custom Bong Builders, unlike anything else in the industry. There’s one for fully assembled bongs, as well as others for just the base, percolators, and mouthpieces. Each builder lets you select your preferred glass type, color, and decal. As you make your choices, the builder shows your creation coming together in real-time, helping you visualize the perfect piece.

"Cleaning a bong is easy", said no one ever, until they owned a modular bong! All you have to do is disassemble your piece and fill it with your preferred cleaning agent. Shake it up and let it sit, then rinse out. It’s that easy. For those clean freaks (like us) all our non decaled glass pieces are dishwasher safe! No more hard to reach spots! We do suggest purchasing some cleaning caps. Check out our cleaning page for more info.

It depends on your preferences, but we always recommend starting with our Standard Beaker Single Stack. It comes with a standard mouthpiece and a beaker and is a good item to break into the modular glass game with.

All of our bong bases and mouthpieces are made of high end 7mm borosilicate glass. So it’s thick! All percolators and bent mouthpieces are made from 5mm borosilicate glass due to the detail work within the percolators.

The 14mm bowl works for our Classic Prism beaker, straight tube, and klein incycler bases. Along with the Prism MINI beaker, honeycomb, and straight tube bases.

The 18mm bowl works for our Classic Prism percolated beaker and honeycomb bases.

All Prism MINI bases use a 14mm bowl.

The Prism MINI line uses the MINI downstem that is 120mm long.

Yes, all the Prism ash catchers are compatible with both the Prism MINI and Prism Classic. Make sure you're buying the correct ashcatcher for your base! If you have any questions please reach out to support@prismwaterpipes.com

Yes, all the Prism cleaning caps are compatible with both the Prism MINI and Prism Classic.

Yes, all the Prism bangers are compatible with both the Prism MINI and Prism Classic.

At this time, decals are not available on the Prism MINI. Only the Prism Classic. This will change in the future, but TBD.

No, at this time, there are no percolators available for the Prism MINI.

However tall your heart desires! Just make sure you have a Beaker or Big Honeycomb Base to stabilize the base of the bong! And maybe someone holding it too if you’re building a really tall one haha!
