Ice Cream Silicone Bong by Urban Crew
The Ice Cream Silicone Bong is a novelty silicone water pipe shaped like a toppled ice cream cone — the kind of piece that gets a laugh before it gets passed around. Made by Urban Crew, it combines food-grade silicone construction with a 14mm ground glass joint, giving you a proper smoking experience wrapped in a design that doesn't take itself too seriously. Available in Green, White, and Blue, each one looks like a melting scoop that's just hit the pavement. Weighs approximately 180 grams assembled, stands roughly 20cm tall, and comes apart in seconds for cleaning. If you want to buy a silicone bong that survives real-world use, this is a strong starting point.
Which Colour?
All three variants — Green, White, and Blue — are identical in size, joint diameter, and function. The only difference is the colour of the silicone body. Pick whichever matches your shelf or your mood. The White version shows residue fastest, so if you're not one for regular cleaning, go with Green or Blue.

Pair this with a set of pipe screens to keep ash out of the water chamber, and grab a bottle of bong cleaner — silicone doesn't stain as easily as glass, but resin still builds up around the glass joint. A 14mm glass bowl upgrade also fits directly if you want a deeper or shallower pack. Order a few spare 14mm bowls while you're at it — they're the one breakable component on an otherwise indestructible piece.
Why a Silicone Bong Makes Sense
Silicone bongs eliminate the single biggest risk of water pipe ownership: breakage from drops onto hard surfaces. Glass bongs sound great until you knock one off the coffee table at 11pm on a Tuesday. We've sold thousands of glass pieces over the years, and the number-one reason people come back for a replacement is exactly that — gravity. Silicone solves the breakage problem entirely. You can drop this Ice Cream Bong onto tiles and the worst that happens is a bit of water on the floor. According to the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), water filtration in bongs reduces certain particulate matter in smoke, though it does not eliminate all harmful compounds — a point worth keeping in mind regardless of whether your bong is glass or silicone.
The 14mm ground glass joint is where the actual combustion happens, so your herb never touches the silicone directly. That's a design detail worth noting: the bowl and downstem are glass, meaning you get clean flavour where it counts, with the durability of silicone everywhere else. Food-grade silicone is rated for continuous use between -40°C and 230°C, well above the temperature of cooled smoke passing through water. It's the best silicone bong for anyone who travels, smokes outdoors, or simply has a talent for knocking things over.
One honest limitation: silicone doesn't feel as satisfying in the hand as thick borosilicate glass. There's no heft to it, no cool-to-the-touch weight. If you're someone who appreciates the ritual of a heavy glass piece, this won't scratch that itch. What it will do is survive every festival, every camping session, and every clumsy moment without costing you a replacement.
How the Ice Cream Design Actually Works
The scoop-shaped top section functions as the water chamber, holding approximately 150ml of water at the recommended one-third fill level. The wide "scoop" at the top serves as the water chamber, while the tapered cone section acts as the mouthpiece and neck. When you pull it apart for cleaning, the cone separates from the scoop, giving you full access to both chambers. No bottle brushes jammed into narrow necks, no soaking overnight. Rinse, wipe, reassemble. The whole process takes under 2 minutes — roughly 85% faster than cleaning a comparably sized glass bong with a fixed downstem.
The silicone itself has a slight give when you squeeze it — not floppy, but flexible enough that you can tell it'll absorb impact. The texture is smooth, not tacky, and doesn't pick up lint or dust the way cheaper silicone products sometimes do. Fill the scoop chamber about one-third with water, slot in the 14mm glass downstem and bowl, and you're set. The ground glass joint creates a snug, airtight seal without any rubber grommets.
How to Use the Ice Cream Silicone Bong
Using this silicone bong correctly takes about 30 seconds of setup and delivers smooth, water-filtered pulls every session. Follow these steps for best results:
- Separate the cone section from the scoop chamber by pulling gently at the seam.
- Fill the scoop chamber with water — roughly one-third full, approximately 150ml, just enough to submerge the bottom of the downstem by about 1–2cm.
- Reassemble by pressing the cone back onto the scoop until it sits flush.
- Insert the 14mm glass downstem into the joint on the side of the scoop. It should fit snugly without forcing.
- Pack the glass bowl lightly — don't over-pack, as airflow is key to a smooth pull through the water.
- Place your mouth over the top of the cone, light the bowl, and inhale slowly. You should see bubbles forming in the water chamber.
- Once the chamber fills with smoke, lift the bowl from the downstem to clear.
- After your session, disassemble and rinse all parts with warm water. For deeper cleaning, use isopropyl alcohol on the glass components and warm soapy water on the silicone.
Silicone vs Glass vs Acrylic: Which Bong Material Should You Get?
Silicone, glass, and acrylic are the three most common bong materials, and each serves a different type of smoker. Here's how they compare across the factors that matter most when deciding which to buy.
| Factor | Silicone | Borosilicate Glass | Acrylic |
|---|---|---|---|
| Durability | Excellent — survives drops onto hard surfaces | Fragile — shatters on impact | Moderate — cracks under stress, can split at seams |
| Flavour | Very good (when paired with glass bowl/downstem) | Best — fully inert smoke path | Poorest — plastic can impart taste, especially when warm |
| Cleaning | Easy — dishwasher safe, pulls apart | Moderate — requires soaking and careful handling | Difficult — scratches easily, can't use alcohol-based cleaners |
| Weight | Light (~180g for this model) | Medium to heavy (350–800g typical) | Light (~120–200g) |
| Heat safety | Food-grade rated to 230°C | Withstands direct flame | Not heat-safe near flame — requires metal or glass bowl |
| Price range | Mid-range | Mid to high | Budget |
| Lifespan | 3–5+ years | Indefinite if unbroken | 1–2 years typical |
If durability and portability are your priorities, silicone wins. If flavour purity is non-negotiable and you have a stable setup at home, glass is still the gold standard. Acrylic works as a disposable option but falls short on taste and longevity. For most people who want a reliable daily piece they can also take outdoors, a silicone bong like this Urban Crew model hits the practical sweet spot.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the silicone on this bong safe to smoke from?
Your herb sits in a glass bowl and passes through a glass downstem — it never contacts the silicone directly. The silicone body only holds water and smoke after it's been cooled. The silicone itself is food-grade, the same type used in kitchen bakeware rated for temperatures from -40°C to 230°C.
Can I put the silicone parts in the dishwasher?
Yes. The silicone scoop and cone are dishwasher safe on the top rack. Keep the glass bowl and downstem out of the dishwasher — hand wash those with isopropyl alcohol or warm soapy water to avoid chipping.
Does this silicone bong affect the taste of the smoke?
Minimally. Because the bowl and downstem are glass, flavour stays clean at the combustion point. Some people notice a very faint difference compared to an all-glass piece, but after 2–3 uses it's negligible. Keeping the silicone clean eliminates any residual taste.
How tall is the Ice Cream Silicone Bong?
It stands roughly 20cm assembled — compact enough to fit in a backpack or travel bag. The dropped-cone shape keeps the centre of gravity low, so it's stable on flat surfaces even with water inside.
Will the 14mm glass bowl break if I drop the whole bong?
The silicone body absorbs most of the impact, but the glass bowl and downstem can still chip or crack on a hard surface if they take a direct hit. Remove the glass components before tossing this in a bag. Replacement 14mm bowls are cheap and widely available — get a spare when you order.
How does this compare to a glass bong of the same size?
A glass bong of similar size gives you slightly better flavour and a more satisfying weight in the hand. The Ice Cream Silicone Bong wins on durability, portability, and ease of cleaning. If this is for home use on a stable table, glass might suit you better. For anything involving movement or the outdoors, silicone is the smarter pick.
Can I use this with a 14mm ash catcher?
Yes. Any standard 14mm male accessory — ash catchers, diffused downstems, or alternative bowls — will fit the ground glass joint on this bong.
Where can I buy the Ice Cream Silicone Bong?
You can buy the Ice Cream Silicone Bong directly from Azarius. All three colour variants — Green, White, and Blue — are available to order from the product page.
