Water pipes & bongs
We'll only email you about this product — no marketing.
The Alien Silicone Bong is a compact silicone water pipe that filters your smoke through water in a body small enough to fit in your jacket pocket. Standing just 13cm tall with a removable borosilicate glass bowl, this little extraterrestrial delivers smooth, cooled hits without the constant anxiety of shattering your piece on the kitchen floor. Available in four colours — Pink, Yellow, Green, and Beige — it looks like a certain animated alien you'd recognise instantly, which makes it a proper conversation starter as well as a functional daily driver.
| Variant | SKU | Vibe |
|---|---|---|
| Pink | HS1480 | Bold and unmissable — the one people ask about |
| Yellow | HS1704 | Bright, cheerful, classic alien energy |
| Green | HS1705 | The obvious choice — little green alien, after all |
| Beige | HS1481 | Subtle, understated, blends into a shelf |
All four variants are identical in size, bowl type, and function. Pick whichever one makes you smile — or grab a couple if you can't decide.
A silicone bong solves the single biggest problem with glass pieces: they break. We've seen it hundreds of times over the years — someone spends decent money on a glass bong, uses it for three months, then it takes one unlucky knock off the coffee table and that's the end of it. Silicone doesn't care about your clumsy moments. Drop it on tiles, stuff it in a rucksack, toss it in a drawer — it bounces back every time.
The Alien Silicone Bong specifically gets a few things right that cheaper silicone pieces miss. The bowl is borosilicate glass, not silicone, which matters more than you'd think. Silicone bowls can produce a faint rubbery taste when heated repeatedly — borosilicate doesn't. You get clean flavour from your herbs because the heat only touches glass. The silicone body handles the water chamber and the structure, which is exactly what silicone does well: stay flexible, stay durable, stay cool to the touch.
At 13cm, this sits in the sweet spot between "too small to be useful" and "too big to be portable." It's roughly the height of a standard energy drink can. Enough water capacity to actually filter and cool your smoke, but compact enough to slip into a bag without a second thought. We'd pick this over a standard pipe any day — the water filtration makes a noticeable difference to how smooth each hit feels on your throat.
Here's the thing nobody tells you about silicone bongs: over time, with heavy daily use, silicone can absorb trace odours. It's not dramatic, and regular cleaning prevents it almost entirely, but if you leave dirty bong water sitting in there for days between sessions, you'll notice a faint smell that glass wouldn't hold. The fix is simple — clean it after each session and it stays fresh. More on that below.
One of the best things about this piece is that it comes apart completely for cleaning — no awkward angles, no unreachable corners. The removable borosilicate glass bowl, the silicone body, and the mouthpiece section all separate.
After each session, empty the water and give everything a rinse under warm running water. Once a week (or more often if you're a daily user), soak the silicone parts in warm water with a splash of rubbing alcohol for 10-15 minutes. The glass bowl can handle isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt — shake it in a small bag and it comes out spotless. Let everything air-dry completely before reassembling. Putting a wet bowl back in and lighting up isn't dangerous, but it tastes terrible.
The silicone body is also dishwasher-safe on the top rack if you'd rather go that route. Just remove the glass bowl first — borosilicate is tough, but a dishwasher cycle is still a gamble with small glass parts bouncing around.

Complete your setup: a decent herb grinder makes all the difference with a small bowl like this one. The Black Leaf Mighty Grinder mills herbs to the right consistency without turning them to powder. If you're using this bong on the go, a smell-proof stash bag keeps everything discreet in your rucksack.
Glass bongs deliver slightly purer flavour — that's just physics. Borosilicate glass is completely inert, so nothing interferes with the taste of your herbs. Silicone, while food-grade and heat-resistant, can impart a very faint taste if it's not cleaned regularly. That said, the Alien Silicone Bong minimises this by using a glass bowl where the actual combustion happens. The silicone only touches water and smoke, not direct flame.
Where silicone wins decisively: durability and portability. A 13cm glass bong of similar quality would cost more, weigh more, and survive approximately one drop from table height before becoming an expensive pile of shards. This silicone piece weighs next to nothing, flexes without cracking, and travels without bubble wrap. For a bong you'll actually take places — festivals, camping, a mate's house — silicone is the practical choice. For a display piece that lives permanently on your desk, glass looks better. Different tools for different situations.
We've sold silicone bongs since they first appeared on the market, and the single most common mistake people make is overfilling the water chamber. With a 13cm bong, you're working with a small volume. Add water gradually — literally a tablespoon at a time — until the downstem is just submerged. Take a test pull without lighting anything. If water touches your lips, pour some out. It takes about 30 seconds to dial in, and once you know the right level, you'll hit it every time without thinking.
The second thing: don't use a torch lighter on the glass bowl. A standard clipper or Bic flame is all you need. Torch lighters concentrate too much heat on a small area of borosilicate and can cause thermal stress cracks over time. The bowl is the one replaceable-but-annoying-to-source part of this bong, so treat it gently.
Food-grade, heat-resistant silicone doesn't release harmful compounds at the temperatures involved in herb combustion. The flame touches the borosilicate glass bowl, not the silicone. The silicone body only contacts water and cooled smoke, staying well within safe temperature ranges.
Minimally. Because the Alien Silicone Bong uses a borosilicate glass bowl, combustion happens on an inert surface. Some users report a very faint silicone taste in the first few uses, which disappears after a couple of cleaning cycles. Regular cleaning prevents any flavour buildup.
Yes. The bowl is a standard small-gauge borosilicate piece that lifts out of the silicone port. Any replacement bowl with matching joint dimensions will work. Measure the diameter before ordering a spare.
After every session. Stale bong water breeds bacteria within hours and tastes grim. Fresh water each time keeps the hits clean and prevents odour buildup in the silicone. It takes 10 seconds — there's no reason to skip it.
Yes. The water chamber doesn't need to be large to filter and cool smoke effectively. You won't get the same level of diffusion as a 40cm glass piece with percolators, but for a portable bong, the difference in throat smoothness compared to a dry pipe is significant.
Silicone handles freezing temperatures without cracking, so technically yes. Remove the glass bowl first. A few minutes in the freezer cools the chamber walls, which slightly cools the smoke on contact. It's a small effect but some people swear by it.
Empty the water, remove the glass bowl and wrap it in a cloth or sock, and toss the silicone body loose in your bag. The body won't break no matter how it gets knocked around. The glass bowl is the only fragile component — protect that and you're sorted.
