Our Process

Special K Glass employs a highly refined technique to make our bongs. We call our final step the pressurized hot pop method. The process, mastered over decades, crafts a smooth bevel for your glass on glass fittings. In contrast to traditional methods, which involve drilling, this innovative approach is done while hot. This minimizes the risk of chipping and ensures a precise, seamless connection without the need for rubber gaskets. The resulting smooth bevel streamlines maintenance and guarantees a consistently tight and secure fit. Because of this durability, you are provided a peace of mind that your one of a kind soft glass bong will remain pristine. The flawless connection, optimized airflow and easy maintenance is key to your enhanced smoking experience. There is not a detail we have overlooked By using colorful glass frit and dichroic glass in our designs, we elevate the beauty and complexity of our creations even further. The interplay of light, color and form breathes life into our pieces, transforming them into one of a kind works of art.
