The Chong: An Icon in Glass

Few names carry as much cultural weight in the world of smoking as Cheech and Chong, and the Cheech and Chong water pipe known as The Chong is a worthy tribute to their legendary status. Released to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the classic film Up in Smoke, this straight neck bell beaker bong is as functional as it is collectible. Manufactured by Famous Brandz, The Chong is a genuine piece of pop-culture history wrapped up in a seriously capable daily-use water pipe.

Whether you are a long-time fan of Cheech and Chong or simply looking for a high-quality beaker bong that performs reliably session after session, The Chong ticks every box. It sits at an accessible price point of £49.95 and delivers a level of craftsmanship that punches well above its cost.

Premium Borosilicate Glass Construction

The Chong is crafted from premium hand-blown borosilicate glass, the gold standard material for water pipes and bongs. Borosilicate glass is prized for its resistance to thermal shock, meaning it can handle the repeated heating and cooling cycles that come with regular use without cracking or clouding. The walls on this piece measure 5mm thick, striking a solid balance between resilience and a comfortable weight in the hand.

The straight neck bell beaker design is a timeless silhouette that maximises stability on any flat surface thanks to its wide 11.5cm base diameter. Standing at 30cm tall with a 40mm mouthpiece diameter, the proportions feel natural and ergonomic whether you are seated or standing. This is not a flimsy novelty item — it is a properly built piece of glass that happens to come with an extraordinary story attached to it.

Smooth Hits Through Smart Filtration

At the heart of The Chong’s performance is its removable diffused downstem. The included Male 18.8mm to 14.5mm Reducing Diffuser breaks down the smoke into smaller bubbles as it passes through the water chamber, increasing the surface area of the smoke that contacts the water. The result is a noticeably smoother, cooler draw that reduces harshness on every hit.

The joint setup uses a Female 18.8mm joint on the pipe itself at a 60-degree angle, making it compatible with a wide range of aftermarket accessories should you wish to upgrade or experiment. The downstem reduces to a Male 14.5mm fitting, and the included herb bowl slots directly onto this for a plug-and-play experience from the moment you unbox it. The downstem itself measures 13.5cm in length, providing ample water filtration depth within the beaker base.

If you enjoy experimenting with accessories, pairing The Chong with a Cooling Glycerin Attachment 19mm Green Grav Labs can take the cooling effect even further for an exceptionally refreshing session.

A Collector’s Piece Worth Displaying

What truly sets this bong apart from standard beaker pipes is its heritage. The Chong ships in an exclusive 40th anniversary Up in Smoke collectors box, making it as suitable for display on a shelf as it is for use. The packaging alone makes this a standout gift for any fan of Cheech and Chong or classic stoner cinema.

If you love the Up in Smoke collection, you might also want to explore the Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke The Tied Stick Rig- Green or the Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke The Tied Stick Rig to complete your collection. Both are part of the same Famous Brandz Up in Smoke range and share the same commitment to quality glass and iconic branding.
