What is the DHC Originals Bunny Bong?
By Mike KimThe DHC Originals Bunny Bong is a compact, dual-use water pipe made from premium borosilicate glass, designed by our team here at Daily High Club to deliver both performance and personality. When we first unboxed this piece, we were immediately struck by its playful character. Let's be honest, a bunny-themed water pipe isn't something you see every day, and it definitely brought a smile to our faces. But as we handled it, we realized this was far from a simple novelty item. The glass felt solid, the construction was clean, and it had a reassuring heft.
This piece perfectly embodies a core philosophy we value here at Daily High Club: smoking accessories should be both fun and functional. The Bunny Bong isn't just a quirky piece to show your friends; it's a legitimate, performance-oriented tool designed for daily use. It aims to bridge the gap between a conversation-starting art piece and a reliable daily driver, and as our team discovered, it succeeds with flying colors.

What are the Key Features and Specifications of the Bunny Bong?
The Bunny Bong features an 8-inch compact frame, premium borosilicate glass construction, and comes complete with both a dry herb bowl and a banger nail for concentrates. During our evaluation, we took a close look at the nuts and bolts of what makes this piece tick. Here’s what our team found:
- Material: The entire piece is constructed from premium borosilicate glass. In our hands, this translated to a feeling of durability and quality. This is the same type of glass used in scientific laboratories, which speaks volumes about its ability to handle rapid temperature changes without cracking. For us, this meant we could use it with confidence, knowing it was built to last. It also provides a pure, clean taste, ensuring you're only tasting your material, not the pipe.
- Dimensions: We measured it standing at approximately 8 inches tall. We found this to be a sweet spot for portability and convenience. It’s not so large that it dominates a desk or table, and it’s compact enough to be easily stored away. For anyone living in a dorm, apartment, or just tight on space, this size is a significant advantage.
- Included Accessories: This is where the Bunny Bong truly impressed our team. When we opened the box, we found not only a standard dry herb bowl but also a quartz banger nail. This is a game-changer. It means the Bunny Bong is a dual-use rig straight out of the box, ready for flower one moment and concentrates the next. This level of versatility is rare at this price point and represents incredible value.
- Design: The bunny-themed design is, of course, its most defining characteristic. It's whimsical and fun without feeling childish. We found the design to be sleek and well-executed, making it a functional piece that doubles as a unique display item.
How Does the Bunny Bong Perform? (Our User Experience)
The Bunny Bong delivers surprisingly powerful and smooth hits for its size, thanks to the efficient airflow and the natural filtration of its borosilicate glass body. Performance is where the rubber meets the road, and our team put this piece through its paces to see if its functionality lived up to its fun design.
What is the Filtration and Smoothness Like?
For a compact 8-inch piece, the filtration was remarkably effective. We filled the base with water and watched as it bubbled nicely with each draw, cooling the smoke for a smoother inhale. While the water chamber is naturally smaller than what you'd find in a towering 2-foot bong, it does its job well. The borosilicate glass construction ensured that every hit was clean and flavorful, without the plastic-like taste often associated with cheaper materials. The hits were smooth on the throat, making for a comfortable session every time.
How Durable and Well-Built is the Bunny Bong?
This piece feels solid. The premium borosilicate glass gives it a reassuring weight and sturdiness that belies its playful appearance. We never felt like we had to handle it with excessive care. It sat stably on our desk without any wobbling, which is a crucial, often overlooked, aspect of a good water pipe. We got the sense that with reasonable care, this bong is built to be a long-term companion.
What is the Portability and Discretion Factor?
Its 8-inch height makes the Bunny Bong exceptionally practical. Our team found it was the perfect size to bring over to a friend’s place without hauling a massive, conspicuous piece of glass. It’s small enough to be tucked away on a bookshelf or in a cabinet when not in use, a significant plus for students or anyone who values discretion. It strikes an excellent balance between being large enough for a satisfying session and small enough for easy handling and storage.
What are the Benefits of Using the Bunny Bong? (Pros)
There are 3 main benefits our team found with the Bunny Bong: its outstanding versatility, its durable and compact design, and its undeniable fun factor. After spending quality time with this piece, several key advantages became clear.
- Incredible Versatility: This is the Bunny Bong’s superpower. The inclusion of both a dry herb bowl and a banger nail is a massive win. It means you're essentially getting two rigs for the price of one. We could seamlessly switch between enjoying flower and dabbing concentrates without needing to buy any extra accessories. For anyone who enjoys both or wants to explore the world of concentrates, this provides phenomenal value.
- Durable & Practical Build: The combination of tough borosilicate glass and a compact 8-inch frame makes for a highly practical piece. It's durable enough for regular use, heat-resistant, and surprisingly easy to clean. Its size is perfectly suited for modern living spaces where a giant bong might be impractical.
- Genuine Conversation Starter: You can't put this piece on a table without someone commenting on it. The bunny design is a fantastic icebreaker and adds a layer of fun to any social gathering. It has a unique personality that you just don't get from a standard beaker bong, and we found that social value to be a real, tangible benefit.
What are the Drawbacks of the Bunny Bong? (Cons)
Our team noted 2 potential drawbacks with the Bunny Bong: its compact size limits water volume, and its whimsical design isn't for minimalists. No product is perfect for everyone, and in the spirit of an honest review, we identified a couple of points to consider.
- Limited Hit Volume: The trade-off for its convenient, portable size is a smaller smoke chamber. While the hits are smooth and potent, you won't be taking the kind of massive, lung-busting rips you could get from a much larger water pipe. For most users, this is a non-issue, but for smokers who prioritize hit size above all else, it’s worth noting.
- A Very Specific Aesthetic: Let's be frank: this is a bong shaped like a bunny. It’s fun, it’s quirky, and it’s proud of it. However, if your personal style leans more towards stark, industrial minimalism, this piece may not suit your aesthetic. It’s designed for those who appreciate a bit of whimsy in their collection.
How Does the Bunny Bong Compare to Alternatives?
Compared to a standard, no-frills beaker bong, the Bunny Bong offers far more personality and dual-use functionality right out of the box. To put its value in perspective, we compared it to a generic 12-inch beaker bong, an everyday staple in many collections.
A standard beaker bong’s main advantage is its larger water volume, which can provide slightly more filtration and allow for bigger hits. However, it typically only comes with a dry herb bowl and is often less portable.
The Bunny Bong, on the other hand, excels in versatility. The included banger nail immediately opens it up to the world of concentrates. Its compact size makes it more portable and easier to store, and its unique design gives it a personality that a generic beaker simply can’t match. For a user who values flexibility, style, and the ability to use both flower and dabs, the Bunny Bong is the clear winner.
Who Should Buy the DHC Originals Bunny Bong?
The DHC Originals Bunny Bong is best suited for the daily smoker with a sense of humor, the new collector starting their glass menagerie, and any student looking for a single, affordable piece that can handle both flower and concentrates. Our team identified a few specific profiles that would find this piece to be a perfect match:
- The College Student: Living in a dorm or a shared apartment means space is at a premium. The Bunny Bong’s compact size, durable build, versatility, and affordability make it an ideal all-in-one solution.
- The First-Time "Real Glass" Buyer: For individuals seeking to upgrade from less expensive, lower-quality smoking methods, this is an ideal entry point into the world of high-quality borosilicate glass. It offers a premium experience and exceptional value without a huge financial commitment.
- The Social Smoker: If you’re the person who hosts sessions or brings a piece to parties, the Bunny Bong is an instant hit. It’s a fun, functional centerpiece that’s guaranteed to get the good times rolling.
How Do You Use the Bunny Bong?
To use the Bunny Bong, you first add water to the base, then pack the appropriate accessory—either the bowl for flower or the banger for concentrates. We found the process to be simple and intuitive. Here’s our team’s quick-start guide.
For Dry Herbs:
- Fill the base with cool water until the downstem is submerged by about half an inch.
- Insert the included dry herb bowl into the joint.
- Grind your favorite flower to a medium consistency and lightly pack it into the bowl.
- Apply a flame to the edge of the herb while inhaling gently from the mouthpiece.
- Enjoy the smooth, filtered hit!
For Concentrates:
- Fill with water, just as you would for herbs.
- Insert the included quartz banger nail into the joint.
- Using a butane torch, heat the banger until it glows faintly red (about 20-30 seconds).
- Let the banger cool for 30-60 seconds, depending on your temperature preference.
- Using a dab tool, apply a small amount of concentrate to the inside of the banger while inhaling.
How Do You Clean and Maintain the Bunny Bong?
Cleaning the Bunny Bong is straightforward thanks to its borosilicate glass construction; we recommend a simple soak with isopropyl alcohol and coarse salt. Keeping your piece clean is essential for the best taste and performance, and we found the Bunny Bong to be refreshingly low-maintenance.
- Carefully empty the old water from the pipe.
- Pour a generous amount of 90%+ isopropyl alcohol and a tablespoon of coarse salt (such as Epsom or sea salt) into the base.
- Plug the mouthpiece and joint openings with your hands or purpose-made plugs.
- Shake the piece gently for a couple of minutes, allowing the salt to act as an abrasive to scrub the interior resin.
- Pour out the dirty solution and rinse the bong thoroughly with warm water until all alcohol and salt are gone. Let it air dry.

It’s a well-built, durable water pipe made from quality materials that delivers solid, smooth performance.
But its true value lies in its dual-use capability.
