Does Your Water Pipe's Size Matter? What You Need to Know

When it comes to your water pipe, there's really no way of going around it: size definitely matters. However, at the end of the day, it all comes down to how you use your water pipe. Bigger probably seems like the obvious choice for a better experience with things like a water bong with a hose, but that's not the overall standard for a water pipe that functions.

What difference does size make?

Are you just looking to get a water bong with a percolator or a similar huge piece that will essentially command attention and could even be a conversation starter? Great, then go as big as you can! For the most part, having a big piece will be awesome when you're with a group of friends. No matter what you're celebrating or the initial reason was for your gathering, it will turn things into a full-on special occasion.

The bigger a water pipe is, the more smoke that particular pipe will be able to hold. Needless to say, a water pipe that's pretty big will give off massive hits. However, it will also lead you to burn through a lot more at a time. On top of that, fully clearing the smoke will likely take multiple hits. 

While it's not necessarily a problem right off the bat, a water pipe that's so big you're unable to light the bowl because you can't reach it can be an issue. That would mean you can only use it when you have other people around to help you out. In these times of social distancing, that may not be the best idea. So essentially, it's great for group fun, but on a solo or personal level, you'll have to rethink things. 

What other factors should be considered?

Size alone should not and cannot be the deciding factor when you get a water pipe. Instead, look into other factors, like just how convenient it will be to use the piece you're looking at. Consider the filtration mechanism. Look into whether or not getting an ice catcher would suit your overall preferences. You should be able to strike a balance between your design or aesthetic preferences alongside functionality.

If you're looking to get tall pieces, think about breakability. Yes, that's actually something you need to think about, no matter how cautious and careful you are. The chances of a piece breaking go up considerably the taller it gets. This is because it's easy for them to become top-heavy and extra prone to getting knocked over. 

Smaller water pipes help avoid the risk of the piece breaking if it's nudged in the slightest. Storage is far more convenient as well.

Conclusion

In acquiring a water pipe, a lot of people tend to wonder if size matters. The short answer is yes, although that's not the only factor that should be considered. Taller, bigger bongs are better for group activities, but going smaller may be the best option for personal use.
