GENERAL QUESTIONS
What is a modular custom bong?
- A modular custom bong is a piece 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. Pretty cool right??
What is the best starter piece for those new to the custom bong game?
- Well it depends on your preferences, but we always recommend either the Basic Tall Mouthpiece and Beaker OR the Standard Mouthpiece, with a Perc, and any Base. The second option is really 2 bongs in 1! Kind of a no brainer.
Is every glass piece interchangeable?
- Yes! All of the Prism pieces can be interchanged to make an awesome custom bong depending on your sesh mood for the day.
How many combinations can I make?
- So the coolest thing about a customizable bong is the options are literally endless. Plus, Prism is continually coming out with new pieces and designs. Early on we calculated the combinations to be 1,154 setups. Cannot imagine what that number is now! So have fun designing your unique custom bong!
How do I assemble it?
How do I clean my setup?
-
Cleaning a bong is easy, said no one ever, until they owned a modular custom bong! So all you have to do is disassemble your piece and fill with your preferred cleaning agent. Shake it up and let it sit, then rinse out. It’s that easy. No more hard to reach spots! We do suggest purchasing some cleaning caps. Check out @highgenevievee‘s video she made for us on cleaning it with a solvent in the sink! Here’s the link to the page:https://prismwaterpipes.com/pages/cleaning
How thick is Prism glass?
- 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 percs. However, 5mm is still a solid thickness. Now that doesn’t mean the glass won’t break because it’s still glass but, at least it has a fighting chance.
How durable is it?
- Oh it’s durable. The glass is made from high end 5mm & 7mm borosilicate glass and the clamps from steel. Once the clamps are closed, even the Hulk couldn’t pull this beast apart.
What do I do if a piece breaks?
-
Unfortunately, we’ve all been there when our stomach drops to the floor as our beloved bong breaks. Not a good day. Luckily, with a custom bong, it’s super easy and inexpensive to replace the broken parts.Whewf!
Is my custom bong dishwasher safe?
- You can place your Prism glass in the dishwasher on the top shelf, but we have found this can fade your decals. If your glass does not have decals, then you only run the risk of fading the decal Prism logo around the rim. We are not suggesting you put your glass in your dishwasher though, but if you do, the glass should be fine. However, please note, the clamps are NOT dishwasher safe and should not be placed in the dishwasher. See out cleaning link for out suggested cleaning method: https://prismwaterpipes.com/pages/cleaning
What are the Halos made out of?
-
The Halos are made of an aluminum exterior, durable plastic threads on the inside, and a silicon gasket to create an air tight seal to protect the threads from smoke and to give you a smooth pull.
How tall can I build it?
- 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!
Can I buy a Prism piece in a headshop?
- Unfortunately, no. We are ramping up to do so though. Stay tuned because we are super excited about it and have something serious in the works!
How do the Halos work?
- You simply slide screw the pieces together and you're all set once the silicon has sealed!
How often will new designs come out?
- The Prism design team is alway innovating and scheming up new designs. It’s kinda what our Founder does best. 100% ideas man that one. So our goal is to try and have new items on the website on a monthly basis. Follow us on IG @prismwaterpipes to see all new item releases or sign up for our newsletter. Also, be on the lookout for discontinued items.
Do the Halos give a complete seal?
- Yes they do. The gaskets make it so the seal is tight even if you don't thread the pieces together hard.
How old do I have to be to shop at Prism?
- You must be 21 years of age or older to purchase from our store.
