Downstem Stuck in Your Bong? Here’s How to Remove It

18 September 2024

The cannabis industry is not your ordinary type of industry. While there is still a focus on containing costs, optimizing profits, and maintaining quality control, the people who make up the industry tend to be a bit more laid back than those in, say, the tech sector. For that reason, scientific and heady glass makers often overlook some common niceties associated with traditional business – like making sure a product comes with a comprehensive owner’s manual. As such, should your bong’s downstem ever get stuck, there’s no owner’s manual to refer to to solve the problem. Fortunately, those of us at the 710 Pipes headshop have your back.

Seven Ways to Grind Without a Grinder

15 September 2021

You can’t just take whole buds, stuff them into the bowl of a bong and fire them up. Well, you can. They’re your buds and you can do what you want with them. However, if you want to get the most out of them you’ll need to process them a bit first so that you get a nice even burn and a clean, consistent smoke, and that means grinding.
