No-Face Kaonashi Silicone Bong
The No-Face Kaonashi Silicone Bong is a novelty water pipe shaped like the iconic silent spirit from Studio Ghibli's Spirited Away. Standing roughly 20 cm tall, it's moulded from food-grade silicone — which means you can chuck it in a bag, drop it on tile, or knock it off the coffee table without that sickening crack you get from glass. If you're after a conversation-starting piece that actually works as a daily driver, this is it.
What You Get with This Silicone Bong
The No-Face Silicone Bong ships as the bong body only — no bowl piece is included. You'll need a standard glass or metal bowl that fits the downstem opening. We'd recommend picking one up at the same time so you're not stuck waiting on a second delivery. The bong itself weighs next to nothing — maybe 150–200 g — and the silicone has a slightly rubbery, matte texture that grips well in the hand. The purple colourway matches the shadowy tones of Kaonashi's on-screen appearances, and the character detailing (mask, body shape, those little arm nubs) is surprisingly well done for a functional smoking piece.

Complete your setup: grab a glass bowl piece and a set of pipe screens so you're ready to go straight out of the box. A small brush or some isopropyl alcohol will keep the interior spotless between sessions — silicone doesn't stain the way acrylic does, but resin still builds up.
Why a Silicone Bong Over Glass
Glass hits beautifully — nobody's arguing that — but it doesn't survive a 90 cm fall onto kitchen tiles. Silicone does. The No-Face bong is made from the same food-grade silicone used in baking moulds and baby products, rated to handle temperatures well beyond anything a lighter or hemp wick will produce. It won't leach, it won't crack, and it folds slightly without losing its shape.
The honest limitation: silicone doesn't deliver the same crisp, clean taste as borosilicate glass. There's a very faint rubbery note on the first few uses that fades after a couple of washes. If flavour purity is your top priority, a glass piece will always win. But if you want something you can take to a mate's house, use on a balcony, or store in a drawer without bubble wrap, silicone is the practical choice. We've been selling both for over 25 years and the pattern is clear — glass stays on the shelf at home, silicone goes everywhere else.
Compared to an acrylic bong at a similar price point, silicone wins on durability and cleaning. Acrylic scratches, clouds up, and absorbs odour over time. Silicone rinses clean with warm soapy water or a quick soak in isopropyl alcohol. It's also more heat-resistant — acrylic can warp near the bowl seat if your lighter lingers too long.
How to Use the No-Face Silicone Bong
- Insert a compatible glass or metal bowl into the downstem opening. Check the fit — it should sit snug without wobbling.
- If you want water filtration, fill the base with cold water until the bottom of the downstem is submerged by about 1–2 cm. Not more — overfilling means splash-back, and nobody wants bong water in their mouth.
- Dry hits work fine too. Skip the water if you're outdoors or want a quicker, slightly warmer draw.
- Pack the bowl loosely — don't cram it. Air needs to flow through the herb for a smooth pull.
- Light the edge of the bowl (not the centre) while inhaling gently through the mouthpiece. Corner lighting stretches your bowl further.
- Once the chamber fills with smoke, lift the bowl or release the carb hole (if present) and inhale.
- After your session, empty the water, disassemble the bowl, and rinse the silicone body with warm water. A deeper clean every week or two with isopropyl alcohol keeps things fresh.
