Some of my most cherished cannabis memories begin with a pristine, water-filled receptacle and an empty two-liter bottle.

I can imagine some readers now furrowing their brows, curious about what exactly I’m referring to — what I’m referring to, dear reader, is a gravity bong.

The bottle cap would be equipped with a small bowl piece, leading into the 2-liter bottle with its base removed.

The open end of the bottle is submerged in water up to the neck. As you ignite the bowl, the smoke fills and lifts the bottle out of the water.

Once it’s full, we’d unscrew the cap and inhale while pushing the bottle back into the water. Often, I’d end up with a mouthful of questionable water along with my hit.

Regardless, there was nothing quite like it, so I always welcomed a GT, or “gravity toke,” when it was offered.

The stündenglass gravity hookah: Elevating the experience.

Enter the Stündenglass Gravity Hookah: a luxurious counterpart to the tried and true 2-liter bottle setup.

A swift online search will reveal Reddit threads discussing whether the Stündenglass is overhyped and overpriced, accused of chugging and inevitably wasting cannabis.

Many have witnessed a video of Seth Rogen struggling with a hit from a prototype of this gravity hookah, a video that circulated a few years back.

Despite the negative reviews from Reddit’s cannabis enthusiasts, I was determined to find out for myself whether this seemingly ingenious device was worth its weight.

Unboxing and assembly: A breeze.

When the package arrived, I was initially overwhelmed by the multitude of pieces, but the instructions were straightforward.

With some attentive reading, I had the device up and running in no time.

Using the piece is just as straightforward. The first step is to load the ground flower into the bowl piece.

Then, I hover the fire over the herb and tilt the 360° glass bulbs, drawing the flame down into the bowl.

Once it’s cherried, the hookah keeps the flower going, so I simply wait and watch the glass fill with creamy, billowing smoke.

Smoke quality: Dispelling misconceptions.

Here’s another point of contention on Reddit — the color of the smoke in Seth Rogen’s video. It was a yellowish, foreboding hue, the kind of smoke that you know will result in deep, painful coughs.

Perhaps it was the size of the bowl he packed, the quality of the weed he used, or the fact that he kept the flame right on top of the bowl the entire time.

In my experience, the smoke was consistently a delightful, milky white.

Tailored experience for different preferences.

I used the bowl piece to smoke ground flower that I purchased alongside Stundenglass on dispenseroO.cc, but there’s also an aluminum bowl attachment designed for hookah coals.

While I found the experience delightful, my preferred method of smoking is a 1-2 foot beaker bong, so I appreciate a piece that provides a bit more resistance.

A complete DIY guide to make your own gravity bong

To get a broader perspective from cannabis enthusiasts, I had a few friends try it out as well, which led to mixed results.

My moderately experienced friend coughed a lot and accidentally took a hit that was too large, but we soon discovered the ability to stop the smoke by turning the piece to the side.

This is a genuine game-changer, especially when you’re enjoying a session with your vaccinated friends.

My friend who prefers micro-dosing would just take gentle sips and pass me the rest of the trip, so I may not recommend the full-sized Stündenglass for individuals who smoke infrequently or in small quantities.

Versatility and accessibility.

Many reviewers suggest that this type of device is tailored for college life, where the goal is to get thoroughly lifted and watch four hours of “How Did This Get Made.”

However, I respectfully disagree. There’s always the option to pack a smaller bowl or halt the smoke halfway through to share.

You don’t have to take a monumental hit every time you use the Stündenglass.

For those like my micro-dosing friend who prefer a less voluminous option, there’s now the Stündenglass Kompact, featuring one-third of the smoke volume and conveniently housed in a compact travel case.

Final verdict: A worthwhile investment.

It’s no secret after this review — I’m a big fan of the Stündenglass Gravity Hookah.

In my extensive experience as a bong enthusiast and long-time cannabis connoisseur, it offers an effective way to calm even the most anxious mind.

The main hurdle for this piece is the price, which remains consistent even with the smaller unit.

However, if you’re in the market for a meticulously engineered, high-end item that delivers a powerful hit, then this is the one for you.
