OUR VERDICT --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e🧠 Our Verdict\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GRAV Medium Round Base Bong is a strong recommendation if you want a daily-driver bong you can actually clean. GRAV have made the Round Base in three sizes for years, and the Medium is the one where the design stops compromising — its downstem pulls straight out, where the Mini and Small have theirs fused in. That single change is most of why the extra $20 over the Small is worth paying. On a piece you plan to use daily rather than display, it is the difference between a ten-minute clean and a resigned sigh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 3. QUICK SUMMARY --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick Summary\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GRAV Medium Round Base Bong stands 9.5\" tall on a 4.25\" round base, in clear borosilicate glass. The 14mm female joint takes a removable 3.75\" downstem, and a GRAV 14mm cup bowl is included. The neck is concave with a grip pinch and holds an ice pinch for cubes. Filtration is downstem diffusion into the base. The GRAV Medium Round Base is $119.99 at Angies Boutique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- 4.

COMMON QUESTIONS \u0026 ANSWERS --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e💬 Common Questions \u0026amp; Answers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the downstem come out?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes, and that is the main reason to choose the Medium over the Small. The GRAV Mini and Small Round Base both have fixed fission downstems fused into the body, which makes cleaning the inside of the stem effectively impossible. The GRAV Medium Round Base's 3.75\" downstem is removable, so it can be soaked, scrubbed and replaced separately from the bong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat joint size is the GRAV Medium Round Base?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n14mm female. It takes any 14mm male bowl or banger, and the included GRAV cup bowl is 14mm. Worth knowing if you are comparing across the range: the Mini Round Base is 10mm, so bowls and accessories do not carry across between the Mini and the other two sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it come with a bowl?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. A GRAV 14mm cup bowl and the 3.75\" removable downstem are both in the box, so the GRAV Medium Round Base Bong is ready to use out of the packaging. You need only water and a lighter. Any other 14mm male bowl also fits if you already have a favourite slide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it take ice?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. There is an ice pinch in the neck — three indentations that hold cubes above the water line. It makes a genuine difference to how cool the draw feels. Note that the pinch holds ice, it does not insulate it, so cubes melt into the water over a long session, which is normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is a round base different from a beaker?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA beaker flares out in a straight taper; a round base is spherical. The round base gives a lower centre of gravity and slightly more water volume for the same height, and it is noticeably harder to knock over. If you specifically want beaker geometry, the Human Grade 6\" Beaker is the piece to look at instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the GRAV Medium Round Base good for dabs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIt will physically take a 14mm banger such as the GRAV Control Tower Set, but GRAV design and sell this as a flower bong. If concentrate is your main use, a dedicated rig with a smaller chamber gives better flavour, because a large water volume strips terpenes from concentrate vapour. Use the Medium Round Base for flower and a rig for dabs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this real GRAV?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes.
