Top 10 Best Vaporizers To Use With A Bong

There was a time when you'd be faced with a hard decision; do you buy a vaporizer or a bong? Fortunately, as the years and technology have progressed, this choice is now pretty much irrelevant. While not every vaporizer can be used in combination with a bong, those that can make a great addition to any cannabis lover's arsenal.

Why Use a Vaporizer in Combination With a Bong?

Using a vaporizer with a bong offers up a totally novel experience. Many users find it tricky to get decent, long pulls from a bong because of the heat and harshness it can provide. Getting sufficient pulls can also be an issue for vaporizer users. However, using a vaporizer in combination with a bong allows for cooler, smoother, and larger hits, all without the potential for aggravation or irritation.

Everything You Need When Combining a Vaporizer and Bong

There are only a few key items you need to get started.

As mentioned, not all vaporizers are compatible with bongs; and, the ones that are will need an adapter to make a secure connection. This will allow you to get the best from your vaping session. The most common adapter sizes are 10mm, 14mm, and 18mm.

While the adapter size will be specific to both the vaporizer and bong connection, a compatible vaporizer will more than likely come with some adapters provided. However, some will only come with a standard mouthpiece. But not to worry; adapters can easily be purchased online.

Once you've got your compatible vaporizer and bong, there really aren't too many other accessories you'll need. Of course, the journey begins with the search for a vaporizer that takes your fancy.

Top 10 Vaporizers to Use With a Bong

With that in mind, we've put together a list of our top 10 vaporizers that can be used in combination with a bong. Now, these aren't in a particular order (from best to worst, for example), just some examples you should check out if you're looking to get the smoothest vapor and coolest pulls around.

1. VapCap M

Already known as a bit of a workhorse and an overall faultless vaporizer, the VapCap M increases its usefulness thanks to its compatibility with your favourite bong. With its large mouthpiece, the VapCap M is perfect for all 14mm water tools, allowing for an airtight and overall snug fit. However, adapters can be purchased to fit smaller or bigger bongs alike. Unlike some of the other vaporizers on this list, this vaporizer is not battery-powered; it's heated with the use of a torch, giving you a pure and intense flavour from your water-cooled hits.

2. Flowermate V5.0S Pro

From the team at Flowermate comes a vaporizer that is ideal for use alongside your favourite water pipe. That is, of course, when you're not using it independently. This device is suitable for both herbs and concentrates, and showcases perfect pulls with rich flavour each time you reach for it. With the use of a simple water pipe adapter, it can easily fit any bong with a 10, 14, or 18mm connection. The V5.0S has a short heat-up time of 30 seconds, thanks to two high-quality built-in batteries.

The Aura can be used with practically any bong compatible with 14mm and 18mm male adapters, and 10mm, 14mm, and 18mm female adapters, giving you plenty of options when it comes to your next vaping session.

10. G-Pen Connect

The clue really is in the name with this vaporizer. The G-Pen Connect is meant for use with glassware. The Connect replaces the need for the conventional bong banger and will simply slot in place. You can also forget about using a torch as this vaporizer reaches some impressive temperatures that are perfect for your concentrates. With an adapter that comes ready to use straight from the box, you'll be getting the smoothest clouds in no time at all. Rounded off with an included travel bag, you'll be taking the G-Pen Connect with you everywhere you go.

How to Make Use of a Vaporizer/Bong Combination

OK, so you've got your bong and your compatible vaporizer in hand; now what? While at first glance it may seem like a fiddly, tricky, and daunting process, it really needn't be. Get started by filling your vaporizer with your chosen herb or concentrate. Once filled, attach your adapter to your vaporizer. Then, by removing the bowl from the bong, you can slot the vaporizer (with adapter) into place.

The fit should be tight so no vapor can escape. Then, it's just a case of turning on (or heating) your vaporizer. After a short time, take a pull from the bong's mouthpiece to see the chamber fill with cool vapor.

And there you have it! That's all there is to combining a vaporizer with a bong. Just be sure to keep both the bong and vaporizer clean after use, and they will provide a great cannabis experience for a long time to come!
