In 2022, 40.5 million US adults reported using cannabis. This is especially notable in Colorado where there are more marijuana dispensaries than Starbucks and McDonald's combined.

This has become a key driver in the growth of the smoking accessories market, particularly the beaker bong segment.

In fact, in a recent 2023 survey, over 65% of respondents preferred bongs over joints for cannabis use.

The main reason? They find it more convenient to pack a bong than to roll smoking papers into a joint.

So, as a retailer, it's all about understanding the market potential, popular products, trends, laws, and customer preferences.

Product Range

Based on material, different types of beaker bongs are available for purchase at wholesale prices. These include:

Glass bongs: They are on the pricier side and have a higher resale value because they are made of high-quality glass like borosilicate. This material is known for its heat resistance and durability.

Ceramic bongs: Ceramic bongs are simpler in design, which makes them less prone to breakage during delivery.
Silicon bongs: These can withstand extremely high and low temperatures without breaking and offer the same results as other bongs but at an affordable price.
Acrylic bongs: These are cheaper, so you can stock up big and sell them individually for a decent 20-40% markup.
Stainless steel bongs: These are highly durable and corrosion-resistant. They’re great for customers who invest in longevity.

Before you consider purchasing wholesale beaker bongs, here are some more insights:

Young adults (aged 18-25) use bongs the most. They prefer bongs that have unique, artisanal designs and colorful patterns.
Popularity of beaker bongs with advanced filtration systems like those featuring percolators and ice catchers is increasing.
Demand for bubblers is also rising. They’re considered a hybrid product, offering the water filtration feature benefits of a bong and the convenience of a pipe.
