Beyond the Aesthetic: How Burning Love Fights for Justice (and Broken Bongs)
Burning Love puts their money where their mouth is, donating 1% of each sale to the Last Prisoner Project. They’ve contributed over $55,000 to date, helping free cannabis prisoners while you’re shopping for unique, cool bongs.
Another genius idea? The Kitty Clink—a public shaming forum for pets (and occasionally partners) who break bongs. Send Burning Love an email with your destroyer’s photo and name, and they’ll post the “mugshot” while sending you a coupon code for your next purchase. Justice is served.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do mini bongs hit as hard as full-sized ones?
The 8-inch-tall clown bongs hit surprisingly well thanks to proper percolation and chamber design. You won’t get the massive rips of a 2-foot beaker, but for personal sessions, these mini pieces deliver smooth, flavorful hits. The inline perc and proper airflow make up for the smaller size.
What's the difference between soft glass and borosilicate bongs?
Borosilicate glass (used in most pieces) offers superior durability and heat resistance—it’s what scientific glass uses. Soft glass allows for more artistic shapes and finishes, but needs gentler handling. The rainbow bong uses soft glass for its unique pearlescent effect, while pieces like the clown bong use borosilicate for daily durability.
How do I clean Burning Love's bongs?
Standard bong cleaning works—isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt. Remove slides and downstems first, shake gently with cleaning solution, rinse thoroughly. The ruffle detail on clown bongs is removable for easy cleaning. Remember that soft glass pieces need extra care to avoid temperature shock.
