Silicone Rocket Bong with LED
The Silicone Rocket Bong with LED is a 20cm water pipe made from food-grade silicone that lights up from the base when you add water. It looks like a cartoon rocket, comes in two colourways, and breaks down completely for cleaning. If you want a bong that survives being knocked off the table and puts on a light show while you smoke, this is the one.
Pick Your Colourway
| Variant | SKU | Vibe |
|---|---|---|
| Acid | HS1709 | Bold, psychedelic colour palette — greens, yellows, and purples that pop under the LED glow |
| Bubblegum | HS1708 | Pinks and pastels — softer look, same light-up base |
Both variants are identical in size, function, and LED setup. The only difference is the silicone colour mix. We'd lean towards Acid if you want maximum visual impact when the LEDs kick in — the translucent sections catch the light better.
Why This Silicone Bong Belongs in Your Kit
Glass bongs look great on a shelf. They also shatter the moment someone's elbow catches them during a session. We've seen it happen more times than we can count — one clumsy reach for the lighter and there goes your piece. The Silicone Rocket Bong solves that problem entirely. Food-grade silicone is practically indestructible. You can drop it, sit on it, stuff it in a rucksack between a water bottle and a bag of crisps, and it comes out fine. At 20cm tall, it's compact enough to travel with but still gives you proper water filtration — not just a glorified pipe.
The LED base is the party trick. Pour a bit of water in and the lights activate automatically — no buttons, no batteries to fumble with. The water itself acts as the switch. Empty the water, lights go off. It's a neat bit of engineering for what's essentially a novelty feature, but we'll admit it genuinely adds atmosphere when you dim the room lights. The glow comes up through the water and the translucent silicone sections, giving the whole rocket a soft, ambient light.
The honest limitation? Silicone can hold onto flavours over time. If you switch between different herbs regularly, you might notice ghost tastes from previous sessions. The fix is simple: clean it after every use, or at least every few sessions. The fact that this bong disassembles completely makes that far easier than with a one-piece glass tube. Compared to something like the PieceMaker K9 Silicone Water Pipe — which is a bigger, heavier piece — this rocket is more portable and more playful, though the K9 does offer a larger water chamber for cooler hits.
How to Use the Silicone Rocket Bong with LED
- Assemble the bong — the base, body, downstem, and bowl piece slot together. No tools needed, just push-fit connections.
- Pour a small amount of water into the base. You want enough to submerge the bottom of the downstem by about 1-2cm. Too much and you'll get splashback; too little and you lose the filtration benefit. The LED lights will activate as soon as water touches the base.
- Mill your herb to a medium grind — not powder-fine, not chunky. A standard grinder on a couple of twists does the job.
- Pack the bowl loosely. Most bowls this size hold roughly 0.1-0.25g. Don't press it down hard or you'll restrict airflow.
- Hold the bong upright, apply flame to the bowl, and inhale steadily through the mouthpiece. You'll see the smoke travel down through the water — and with the LEDs on, that's where the visual show happens.
- Once the bowl is spent, tip out the ash and either reload or disassemble for cleaning.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Silicone bongs are forgiving, but they do need regular cleaning to keep tasting fresh. After each session — or at minimum once a week if you're a daily user — pull the bong apart into its individual pieces. Rinse everything under warm water. For a deeper clean, soak the silicone parts in warm water with a splash of isopropyl alcohol or a dedicated pipe cleaner solution. A bottle brush or pipe cleaner gets into the downstem. Let all parts dry fully before reassembling. The LED mechanism in the base is sealed, so rinsing the base under the tap is fine — just don't submerge it in cleaning solution for hours.

Complete your setup with a decent grinder — the Mighty Aluminium Grinder gives you a consistent medium grind that packs well in smaller bowls like this one. And if you're after screens to keep herb from pulling through the downstem, grab a set of brass pipe screens. Both make a noticeable difference to the quality of each hit.
From Our Counter: What We Actually Think
We've had this rocket on the shelf for a while now, and the reaction is always the same: people pick it up, squeeze it, look surprised that it bounces back, then ask about the lights. It's a conversation starter more than a serious daily driver — though plenty of customers do use it daily and are perfectly happy. The silicone has a slight rubbery feel in the hand, which some people love (grippy, warm) and others find odd if they're used to the cool smoothness of glass. The weight is noticeably lighter than any glass bong this size — feels almost like holding a toy, which honestly adds to the fun factor.
If you want the cleanest possible taste and don't care about portability, a glass bong will always win on flavour purity. But if you want something you can chuck in a bag, use outdoors, hand to a clumsy mate without flinching, and enjoy a bit of a light show — the Silicone Rocket Bong does exactly what it promises. For the price, it's a solid grab.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do the LED lights need batteries?
No. The LEDs in the base are water-activated — pour water in and they turn on, empty the water and they switch off. There are no buttons or battery compartments to deal with.
How often should I clean a silicone bong?
Daily users should clean weekly at minimum. If you use it a few times a week, every 1-2 weeks is fine. After each session, at least rinse out the water and tip the bowl. Silicone holds flavours more than glass, so regular cleaning keeps things tasting fresh.
Is a silicone bong as good as a glass bong?
For flavour purity, glass wins. Silicone can retain traces of previous sessions over time. But silicone is virtually unbreakable, lighter, and far more portable. It comes down to what matters more to you — taste perfection or durability and convenience.
How much herb fits in the bowl?
The bowl holds roughly 0.1-0.25g of milled herb. That's enough for a quick solo session or a couple of smaller hits. Pack loosely for the best airflow.
Can I put the silicone bong in the dishwasher?
The silicone parts are heat-resistant and could technically survive a dishwasher cycle, but we wouldn't recommend it — the LED base mechanism isn't designed for that kind of prolonged water and heat exposure. Hand wash with warm water and a mild cleaning solution instead.
Does water filtration in a bong make smoke smoother?
Yes. The water cools the smoke and filters out some particulate matter before it reaches your lungs. You'll notice a smoother, less harsh inhale compared to a dry pipe. That said, it's still combustion — water filtration reduces irritation but doesn't eliminate it entirely.
How much water should I put in the base?
Enough to cover the bottom of the downstem by about 1-2cm. If you hear bubbling when you inhale, you've got the right amount. Too much water means splashback hitting your lips — not pleasant.
