Many seasoned stoners prefer to smoke from a bong made of silicone glass. Exactly why is this the case? It is the only method that allows users to take a massive rip. If you wanted to, you could theoretically pack the container full of smoke and inhale it all at once. Massive hits aren't the best way to enjoy your herb, but they are entertaining. All it takes is a couple of hits from the bong to get the good times rolling. Naturally, novices should start slow and work up to the bigger hits.
