There are different types of long smoking pipe for marijuana. Some of these pipes may be used with water and some of the pipes may be used without water. Long smoking pipes, which are used with water, are also known as large bongs. These bongs may be 18-20 inches tall or taller. Large bongs have a spacious water-chamber capable of holding lots of water. Therefore, you can enjoy smoother and cooler hits when using a large bong, in comparison to using a mini or medium size bong. It is also possible for the spacious water chamber of a large bong to hold lots of smoke. Therefore, you can enjoy massive hits when using a large bong. These Bongs are not for everyone. They are ideal for experienced smokers.

You experience no splash-back when using this type of long smoking pipe due to the size of the neck. The smoke creates thousands of bubbles when passing through the water. The splash of bubbling hot water may injure a user when using a mini bong, due to the small size of the neck. Therefore, many small and medium size bongs are built with a splashguard. In large bongs, bubbling hot water cannot reach the mouthpiece due to the length of the neck. Large bongs are usually available with different types of smoking accessories. Some bongs have inbuilt accessories. However, it is possible to find add-on accessories for bongs.

Many large bongs have a built-in ash-catcher. It is also possible to purchase an ash-catcher and other accessories for this type of long smoking pipe. This accessory is attached to the stem of a water-pipe. It prevents the fine particles of ash from getting into a bong's water chamber. The ash-catcher remains where the slide is, and the bowl is fitted to the end of the ash-catcher. It keeps a bong clean for a long time and prevents users from drawing in the fine particles.

A long smoking pipe fitted with an ash-catcher increases the smoothness of the marijuana smoke. However, a large bong with a percolator can produce smoother hits. Many bongs are built with a percolator. It is possible to attach a percolator to a bong as an accessory.

However, it is prudent to purchase a large bong with a built-in percolator. As it may be difficult to find a percolator that flawlessly fits inside the water chamber of a bong. A percolator cannot work properly if it does not fit well inside the water chamber of a bong.
