Smoking pipes
We'll only email you about this product — no marketing.
The No-Face Kaonashi Silicone Bong is a novelty water pipe shaped like the iconic silent spirit from Studio Ghibli's Spirited Away. Standing roughly 20 cm tall, it's moulded from food-grade silicone — which means you can chuck it in a bag, drop it on tile, or knock it off the coffee table without that sickening crack you get from glass. If you're after a conversation-starting piece that actually works as a daily driver, this is it.
The No-Face Silicone Bong ships as the bong body only — no bowl piece is included. You'll need a standard glass or metal bowl that fits the downstem opening. We'd recommend picking one up at the same time so you're not stuck waiting on a second delivery. The bong itself weighs next to nothing — maybe 150–200 g — and the silicone has a slightly rubbery, matte texture that grips well in the hand. The purple colourway matches the shadowy tones of Kaonashi's on-screen appearances, and the character detailing (mask, body shape, those little arm nubs) is surprisingly well done for a functional smoking piece.

Complete your setup: grab a glass bowl piece and a set of pipe screens so you're ready to go straight out of the box. A small brush or some isopropyl alcohol will keep the interior spotless between sessions — silicone doesn't stain the way acrylic does, but resin still builds up.
We've swept up enough broken glass bongs behind the counter to fill a skip. Glass hits beautifully — nobody's arguing that — but it doesn't survive a 90 cm fall onto kitchen tiles. Silicone does. The No-Face bong is made from the same food-grade silicone used in baking moulds and baby products, rated to handle temperatures well beyond anything a lighter or hemp wick will produce. It won't leach, it won't crack, and it folds slightly without losing its shape.
The honest limitation: silicone doesn't deliver the same crisp, clean taste as borosilicate glass. There's a very faint rubbery note on the first few uses that fades after a couple of washes. If flavour purity is your top priority, a glass piece will always win. But if you want something you can take to a mate's house, use on a balcony, or store in a drawer without bubble wrap, silicone is the practical choice. We've been selling both for over 25 years and the pattern is clear — glass stays on the shelf at home, silicone goes everywhere else.
Compared to an acrylic bong at a similar price point, silicone wins on durability and cleaning. Acrylic scratches, clouds up, and absorbs odour over time. Silicone rinses clean with warm soapy water or a quick soak in isopropyl alcohol. It's also more heat-resistant — acrylic can warp near the bowl seat if your lighter lingers too long.
About half the people who pick this up are buying it as a gift. It's one of those pieces that makes someone laugh, then actually gets used. Ghibli fans recognise Kaonashi immediately — the design is faithful enough to sit on a shelf next to a Totoro figure without looking out of place. The other half are people who've broken one too many glass bongs and want something they don't have to baby.
One thing we hear a lot: "Is it just a novelty?" No. The airflow is decent, the chamber holds enough smoke for a satisfying hit, and the silicone is thick enough (typically 3–5 mm walls) that it doesn't feel flimsy. It's not going to replace a 45 cm beaker bong with a tree percolator, but for a compact, portable piece, it does the job properly. Think of it as the best novelty silicone bong for Ghibli fans who actually smoke — not just a display piece.
No. The bowl is sold separately. You'll need a standard glass or metal bowl piece that fits the downstem. Check the diameter before ordering — most silicone bongs use a 14.5 mm joint size, but confirm with the product listing.
Yes. The No-Face Silicone Bong works perfectly well as a dry pipe. The hit will be warmer and slightly harsher without water filtration, but it's completely functional. Handy for outdoor use when you don't want to carry water around.
Rinse with warm soapy water after each session. For a deeper clean, soak the silicone body in isopropyl alcohol (90%+) for 20–30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. You can also pop the silicone parts in the dishwasher on a gentle cycle — just remove the glass bowl first.
Food-grade silicone is heat-resistant up to around 230°C and doesn't release harmful compounds at the temperatures produced by a standard lighter or hemp wick. The flame touches the bowl, not the silicone. It's the same material used in oven mitts and cooking moulds.
Slightly, on the first few uses. New silicone can have a faint rubbery taste that disappears after 2–3 washes. After that break-in period, the flavour is neutral. It won't match borosilicate glass for pure taste, but the difference is minimal for most people.
Absolutely. It weighs under 200 g, won't shatter in a bag, and you can squeeze it into tight spaces without damage. Remove the glass bowl and wrap it separately — that's the only breakable part.
Most silicone bongs of this type use a 14.5 mm (14 mm) male joint. If in doubt, a 14.5 mm glass bowl is the most common standard and widely available in our smokeshop category.
