Bowls and slides from Ben Wilson, B. Wilson, Illadelph, Empire Glassworks, Health Stone, Mobius, Avante-Garde, aLeaf, and AFM Glass — the bowl pieces that hold flower and slot into a bong's joint. Over 175 pieces spanning disc bowls, honey-pot bowls, multi-hole slides, Graal slides, character bowls, and heady artist work. Stocked at Angies Boutique, 838 N Broadway in Los Angeles.
A bowl, also called a slide, is the removable glass piece that holds the flower and slots into the joint of a bong. Pulling the bowl out of the joint clears the chamber — the bowl is both the loading point and the carb on most bongs. Bowls range from purely functional clear-glass pieces to one-of-one heady artist work, and a bowl swap is the easiest way to upgrade or personalize an existing bong.
The selection at Angies Boutique is unusually deep on heady work. Ben Wilson and B. Wilson together account for nearly 80 bowls — disc bowls, worked slides, and color-work pieces from one of the most collected names in functional glass. Illadelph brings 19 scientific-glass bowls. Empire Glassworks contributes sculpted character bowls. Functional tiers include the aLeaf Honey Pot Bowls (14mm male in Blue, Jade Green, Pink, Purple), the AFM Ultimate Bowl, Avante-Garde 3-hole and Graal slides, Health Stone, and Mobius. The house-brand line adds character bowls like the 18mm Mr. Potato Head Bowl.
Bowls must match the bong's joint. Compare against Bongs and Beaker Bongs for the pieces they slot into, Downstems for the part below the bowl, and Heady Glass for more one-of-one artist work.
The bowls and slides collection sorts by type. Heady artist bowls: Ben Wilson and B. Wilson disc bowls and worked slides, Illadelph scientific bowls, Empire Glassworks sculpted bowls. Functional bowls: aLeaf 14mm Male Honey Pot Bowls in Blue, Jade Green, Pink, and Purple; the AFM Ultimate Bowl. Slides: Avante-Garde 14mm 3-Hole Slide and 14mm Graal Slides. Character bowls: the 18mm Mr. Potato Head Bowl and other house-brand novelty pieces. Hybrid: Health Stone and Mobius pieces. Bowls are stocked in 14mm and 18mm joint sizes, male and female.
Three picks cover the range. The AFM The Ultimate Bowl is the functional benchmark — a clean, well-built bowl that fits standard joints. The aLeaf 14mm Male Honey Pot Bowl (Blue) is the colorful everyday pick — a deep honey-pot bowl in a 14mm male fitting. The Ben Wilson 14mm Disc Bowl — Galaxy with Agua Azul is the heady pick — color work from a top functional-glass artist.

A bowl must match the bong's joint size (14mm or 18mm) and gender — a male bowl fits a female joint and vice versa. Measure or check the existing bowl before ordering. Heady bowls from Ben Wilson and B. Wilson are one-of-one and not reproduced once sold. Bowls are small and break easily if dropped — handle carefully. Keep the bowl clear of resin with Formula 420 from the Cleaning Supplies collection.
Start with the AFM The Ultimate Bowl as the functional pick, read the iso-cleaning guide for maintenance, and check Bongs to match the bowl to a piece.
