The Truth About American vs Imported Glass

Why Cheaper isn’t always better

A huge appeal to imported bongs is the cheap prices you can find them at. But you’re paying the difference elsewhere in poor craftsmanship and shotty materials. There is a reason these pieces are that much cheaper and it’s not a good thing.

Common issues with imported glass

Many of these imported products are just waiting to jam or break. Poor craftsmanship leaves the glass with debilitating creases that will break under any sort of pressure while having thin walls that are waiting to crack if dropped. Enjoy the sessions you can have on an imported piece because surely the glass won’t last long.

Behind the Scenes of American Glassblowing

With American-made glass, you can meet your artist. See how they got into glassblower, what their continuing inspiration is, and see the logic behind why they choose to have certain features. Many glass blowers use their own product meaning that they are always seeing ways to improve their product, improvements that will find their way into your home and enhance your sessions.

Artist of the month

American glass blowers have no shortage of stories to tell from the shop. These people are in the glass game every day and usually have some great tales that reflect their experience. If you’re invested in finding the perfect glass for you, the conversation will surely be flowing.

What You’re Really Paying For

It’s not just a bong, it’s an investment

Bongs are ideally an investment towards a long-term companion. Many users find they get attached to their glass and go as far as to name their pieces. Find a bong you want to marry for years to come; the best way to do this is by seeking American-made glass, which is designed to last.

The alternative, with imported glass, usually results in a much shorter relationship between you and your bong. In turn, you’ll be spending more money to get a new bong when the previous one breaks. In this scenario, spending a little more upfront for a quality product will save you money over the long haul. 

The extra mile: customer service and warranties

Unhappy with your American-made product? Reach out to your artist! American-made glass usually has fantastic customer service and perhaps even warranties to go with their products, something you just won’t find for imported bongs.

The Bigger Picture: Your Purchase Makes a Difference

How buying American supports more than just the seller

When buying American-made, the product is superior, but you’re also supporting the local economy. This is another great reason to make the investment. Your support of local artisans in turn boosts local communities and can improve other aspects of your life outside of a smoking session. 

Keep traditional crafts alive

There is no shortage of mass produced glass to be consumed. There is nothing special about these pieces. Buying local, American-made products keeps real craftsmen alive and upholds traditions that make us unique.
