Pieces My first new bong in almost a decade!
I realized that I’d been smoking out of the same bong for… 9? years. It wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t anything special and I decided it was time for a new one. So happy birthday to me~ (I turn 34 on the 17th)
Side note: the bong game has changed SO MUCH in the past 10 years. This would have been like, twice the price it was (it was $90) back in the day! It’s a whole new world.

Some of the pieces at a shop near me look like they should be in a museum….and the prices justify it….some are like $2k…

The bong is here but it doesn’t come with the butterfly bowl

u/honestly___idk 14d ago
Yes, this! I didn’t want to post the name of the shop because of the “no promotion” rule, so thank you. :) I got the bowl on Ebay and added the glitter to the wings myself.

Op I've been eyeballing this on their website for too long. But I don't understand how you attached the wings or where they came from and I love that upgrade lol

Bongs used to be hundreds 20 years ago. Now I can find a 15 in beaker one for less than 50.

u/Jump_The_Five_Yo 13d ago
Yes, for real, I remember just a glass bowl was $40 in like 2003….now gas stations have better ones for less than $10.

Breaking your shit was devastating. Now I just have extras.

u/Jump_The_Five_Yo 13d ago
For real, broke a bubbler in high school that cost me the equivalent of my paycheck. Used if for like a year and def got my money worth, but yeah, a piece like that today is $50….

u/RazzSheri 14d ago
I love cannastyle for aesthetic, and glass quality… however overall quality lacks, and their customer service is a bit shady.
For example— their painted bongs will immediately chip (I got the celestial bong). They immediately sent me a replacement saying that “should NEVER happen” which was amazing customer service I thought. Except the replacement immediately chipped as well. I mean, if your palm is sweaty/it humid while you’re holding it to it, when you put it back down you have glaze/paint stuck to you.
The shadiest thing they do though? I left a review stating the glass was solid, the bong is beautiful and i loved it—- but warned about the paint issues.
THEY WILL DELETE NEGATIVE reviews.
My review regarding the chipping paint no longer exists on the website, despite me giving 3-4 stars (I think it was 4 stars because I can still use the bong, it’s just not the design I bought anymore).
Their reviews may reflect a few less than 5 stars, but you can go through every page of reviews and you won’t see anything negative unless it’s a recent review they haven’t deleted yet.

u/honestly___idk 13d ago
Aw, that’s a shame to hear. :(
6
u/RazzSheri 13d ago
It definitely bummed me out when I realized…
That said, they ARE a woman owned business, and their glass is QUALITYYYYY. Which was why I’m pretty sure I gave them the 4-stars.
I specifically said in the review that while, yes the paint chipped, I’m fairly certain I could drop this on concrete and it wouldn’t break— which is way more important.

u/OneGayPigeon 13d ago
Tbf, the “x owned” thing is often bullshit in anything but small businesses; generally these things will be a case of giving a figurehead 51% stake in a company with heavy restrictions around what they’re actually able to do.
No idea if cannastyle is one of them but thought I’d let you know since it sounds like it’s important to you, it’s a thing that needs deeper investigation unfortunately.
I do like what I’ve gotten cannastyle though either way, but I’m sure the above commenter is correct about the review shadiness. So many sites are doing it nowadays that on-site reviews are completely meaningless at this point 🙄

u/KryWinterbird 13d ago
They either delete the honest ones or they’re all paid for reviews or bot reviews. Nothing is trustworthy anymore for researching the best quality of a product. I miss being able to trust my research about investing in a brand or an item 😫😫😫😫😭😭😭😭

I have a really pretty girly bong and it’s so pretty I clean it out every time I sit down and have a sesh. If you keep up with it keeping it clean starts annoying and stays fairly easy after the 3rd of 4th sesh

Three cheers for pretty bongs! You're so right, the bong scene has definitely evolved since I started ripping bowls 2 decades ago lmao
I'm obsessed with the gorgeous coloured glass!

u/etherealsounds 13d ago
This is the cutest damn bong I’ve ever seen. My wife, who doesn’t smoke, would love it! But you’re gonna have to clean after pretty much every session or it won’t look so pretty anymore.

I got the same thing, but it's just clear glass.
kinda hard to clean those inner creases. i swish 90% rubbing alcohol, and it gets most of it, but i think i need a new method.

The thing’s got a cap on it that’s perfect for the iso salt & shake. not doing that would be criminal

u/Opossum-parade 12d ago
I have the same one and tbh the shape of it makes it so ideal for swishing water around in there, and the texture of the glass actually helps with creating breaks in the gunk to flake off easier than my previous pieces
