Basic Smoking Accessories: What Your Smoking Kit Must Include

See, all you truly need to get lit is weed and motivation, but the more you get into the cannabis lifestyle and familiarize yourself with the counterculture community, the more you'll be building a routine by default—and a collection of go-to gadgets that enhance the smoking experience. Next thing you know, your casual smoke becomes a deliberate sesh with your own personal stash of essential smoking accessories.

Whether you're going it alone or chasing clouds with your squad, the right smoking accessories don't just make it easier—it makes it better. Smoother hits, more robust flavor, less waste, and a ritual that's all your own. Let's run down what you need in your stash to take your smoking sessions to the next level, with some of the best smoking accessories from IC Glass.

Bongs and Pipes

The foundation of any smoker's collection begins with a solid glass bong or hand pipe. Bongs provide smoother smoking experience by drawing smoke through water—so they're naturally a crowd-pleaser. IC Glass water pipes aren't only functional; they're also works of art. Each and every one is constructed from quality borosilicate glass for added durability and pure taste and performance.

For portability or low-maintenance sessions, spoon pipes or glass pipes make a great backup or daily driver. At home or on the move, a quality pipe delivers fast, reliable hits without a full setup.

Dab Rigs

As concentrates gain popularity, more smokers are hitting. A good concentrate rigs is smaller than a Glass water pipes, designed to conserve potency and flavor and deliver powerful, instantaneous effects. IC Glass concentrate rigs are designed with form and function in mind—disc percs, cyclone recyclers, or even dichroic accents to make your Glass rig a piece of art.

Pairing your Glass rigs with the right accessories, like bangers and carb caps, can make or break your Concentrate hit experience.

Bangers and Quartz Bangers

If you’re using a Glass rigs, a quartz banger is absolutely essential. The difference between regular bangers and 99.9% pure quartz bangers like IC Quartz – LUMINOUS or HAZE lies in heat retention and flavor preservation.

Quartz bangers

are fast-heating, even-temperature-holding, and will not impart off-flavors into your extract. Purchase styles such as 90D quartz bangers, 14mm male bangers, or beveled edge bangers based on your Concentrate rigs and your preference.

Carb Caps

The unsung hero of the perfect hit—carb caps allow you to capture heat and airflow, allowing for larger, smoother hits without overheating your quartz. Directional airflow caps, spinner caps, or bubble carb caps are all great options based on your rig and banger style.

Including a carb cap in your setup allows you to maximize the potential of every drop of concentrate while enhancing flavor and vapor density.

Puffco and Carta Accessories

If you’re more into high-tech dabbing, electronic concentrate rigs like the Puffco Peak or Focus V Carta offer convenience without sacrificing quality. For Carta and Puffco users, IC Glass makes premium Carta glass attachments and Puffco glass attachments, compatible with all Carta and Puffco models and available in multiple colors.

These attachments enhance vapor recycling, cooling, and style—transforming your e-rig into a customized powerhouse.

Recyclers

Recycler rigs are the next step in water filtration. They recycle and perpetually circulate smoke through chambers, producing ultra-smooth, tasty hits with very little splashback. If you like taking long, tasty draws or low-temp dabs, an IC Glass recycler dab rig will entirely change your sessions.

Pieces such as the 6" Disc Perc Recycler with Dichroic Diamond don't merely function—they dazzle.

Nectar Collectors

Prefer to keep it simple and functional? Nectar collectors are ideal for grabbing small concentrate hit without the need for a full rig. They're perfect for on-the-go concentrate use and provide fast, intense hits. IC Glass's two-in-one nector collectors also function as mini glass rigs, so they're the handiest tool in your arsenal.

Bowls and Slide Pieces

It is always a good idea to have spare bowl pieces. In the event you need a backup, a clean piece, or something a bit more visually pleasing, 14mm male bowls with printed engravings give any Glass water pipes some personality.

Ensure your bowl is compatible with your bong size—14mm and 18mm are the most common sizes.

Bonus Essentials to Elevate Your Smoking Experience To truly upgrade your smoking, don’t forget about other must-have items. A quality herb grinder—especially metal grinders—ensures a consistent grind for an even burn. A grinder also improves your rolling process and helps keep it clean.

Next, a refillable lighter is better than cheap disposables. Want to go a step further? Use hemp wick with a lighter to avoid inhaling butane. And when you're done, use a stylish ashtray or ashtrays with deep wells to keep your smoking space tidy.

Don't forget your rolling tray and rolling paper, which come in various shapes and sizes to roll a joint with ease. For dry herbs, vaporizers, vape pens, or e-liquids, vapes offer a discreet, tech-friendly way to enjoy your favorite strain without combustion.

A pipe cleaner, cleaning tools, and a full cleaning kit help keep your smoking pipes in top shape. Organize your gear in storage containers, stash boxes, or storage boxes to keep it fresh.
