Factors Influencing Bong Names

Looking for inspiration? You can get good ideas from your personal experience, favorite shows, and favorite characters. Nothing beats a name with a story, so you might have a good name for your bong based on how you got it, why you got it, or something funny that happened with your water pipe.

The type and shape of your bong and its smoking accessories may also play a part in its name, so keep that in mind when looking for options at your favorite smoke shop.

Creative Process of Naming a Bong

There are many techniques to name a bong, like naming it after a fun event or using some puns related to smoking. You can also look at the type of bong you have and find a unique name based on its shape or percolators.

While you can probably come up with a good bong name by yourself, it can also be fun to turn your next smoke session with your friends into a bong-naming brainstorming session! Nothing like being with your friends to get the inspiration you need.

This can be especially fun if you usually smoke up with friends and can make the first session you have with a new bong into a special christening event you repeat every time you get a new piece.
