Product Review: NWTN Home Gravity Bong

but what if I wanted the microplastics with my bong hit?

Sep 12, 2024

Here’s this week’s highlights

New cannaspa is opening in Denver this Saturday! Click here to RSVP if you wanna check out the grand opening (I’ll be at the 6-8pm time slot if you wanna say hi)
Maybe I shouldn’t worry about my trans friends in Texas after all if Trump is right about illegal aliens performing transgender operations at the border (I’m still worried. Plz stay safe.)
Speaking of the debate, Taylor Swift finally publically endorsed Harris as a candidate. Swifties think she caved to public pressure and are mad she waited as long as she did. I personally agree with Imani that it is a very intentional comms strategy from Kamala HQ rather than Tree Paine.
New The Dare record fucks. Hard. Recession pop is so back.

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think of gravity bongs? QUICKLY!

You pictured a big, likely plastic or styrofoam cup, with the top half of a water bottle with a hole cut into the lid. A budget bong for when you’re in a pinch, right? Not something hand-blown that could be mistaken for a regular vase to the untrained eye? I’m about to blow your mind.

The Product

I’m just a girl! I’m susceptible to targeted advertising! So when I kept getting ads for this fancy geeb I had no choice but to check it out. Made by NWTN Home, this gravity bong comes in amber or dark green and is comprised 4 pieces that are advertised as easy-to-clean. It will also run you about $80. Sounds pricy, but let’s see how it holds up to the cost.

The Process

Full disclosure, I had never used a gravity bong like at all before ordering this. By the time I started smoking, I had good-fancy-piece money, so I never really saw the appeal of inhaling microplastics when I had a regular glass bong. I had to look up a lot of things, and do even more guesswork just bc I wasn’t certain the makeshift geebs function exactly the same as this one (they pretty much do). Once I finally got that figured out, I packed a bowl and let her rip.

The Thoughts

First impressions: Jesus Christ I have downstairs neighbors now I can’t be spilling bong water the way I am right now oh my god.

Impressions once I finally got the hang of putting the bowl back AFTER re-collapsing the piece: Holy shit I think I am too high.

It’s a heavy hitter for sure. Half a bowl on this 8” piece gives me the same effect as a full bowl on my 16” beaker bong. The jury is still out on whether this will cut down my consumption or wreck my tolerance.

I will say when it came time to clean, I wasn’t quite sure what to do? The bowl’s funky shape doesn’t exactly lend itself to being scrubbed easily, and I had to get really creative about getting the chamber itself clean as the salt+isopropyl combo struggled to get into the tight space where they fit for the actual gravity effect.

The Rating

Despite the issues with getting this piece clean and the initial learning curve, I do have to give this piece 3.5 stars. It’s subtle, and therefore perfect for people who can’t display big ole beaker bongs. It’s a heavy hitter. It’s objectively beautiful. It’s a microplastic-free geeb experience. All of that said, if you’re not willing to put in the extra effort for cleaning and you already have some good, solid glass bongs, you’re better off saving your money (unless you just want the novelty of it).
