Let’s face it, most smokers have a stash drawer full of things they thought they’d use. But when it comes to your glass bong, you don’t need gimmicks—you need real accessories that do the job and keep your setup clean, simple, and smooth.
Whether you’re just getting started or tightening up your current rotation, here are the essential bong accessories that actually make a difference.
1. Bowl Slides: Always Good to Have Extras
If you only own one glass bowl slide, you’re missing out.
Keeping a few different glass bowl slides around means:
-
You’ve always got a clean one ready
-
You can leave one packed for the next round
-
You can swap between snapper bowls and party bowls depending on the session
Encore offers a full range of glass bong bowl slides with different shapes, push depths, and handle styles—easy to match with your current setup.
2. Ash Catchers: Keep Your Bong Water Clean
If you’re using your bong daily, a glass ash catcher is a must. It adds another layer of filtration, helps your water stay clean, and keeps the inside of your piece from getting gunked up.
What you’ll notice:
-
Fewer cleanings
-
Cleaner-tasting hits
-
A little more chug (in the best way)
Encore’s glass ash catchers are made to match our most popular beakers and straight tubes, no adapters needed.
3. Diffused Downstems: Function You Can Feel
Not all glass downstems are created equal. The way your stem is cut makes a big difference in how your bong pulls.
Most Encore pieces come with either:
-
Cut filter downstems (3 slits on each side) for smooth airflow
-
Or open-ended stems for a more direct hit, depending on the style
If your current piece doesn’t have a proper diffused downstem, you’ll taste the difference once you try one.

4. Cleaning Tools That Actually Help
If your bong is always a little cloudy—even right after you clean it—you’re not alone.
A few simple tools go a long way:
-
ISO + coarse salt
-
Pipe cleaners or cotton swabs
-
A brush that fits your stem or neck
-
Spare bowl or downstem while your main ones soak
The right glass bong cleaning routine will make your flower taste better and your bong last longer. Encore glass is built for easy cleaning—no hard-to-reach percs, no tight corners, and removable downstems.

Smart smokers don’t just buy what looks good—they keep what works.
The best bong accessories for flower are the ones that make your sessions smoother, cleaner, and more consistent. That means:
-
Extra slide bowls you’ll actually use
