My Bud Vase has established themselves as not just another passing fad in the smoking industry. With momentum and widespread popularity growing every passing day, My Bud Vase has a strong foothold forming thanks to their innovative work in creating fully functional bongs out of beautiful works of art.
Starting with a number of one-offs, My Bud Vase was able to find unique flower vases and convert them into pipes complete with downstems and bowls or slides. The styles are endless with this approach and led them onto the path they are on now with sophisticated bongs that can be hidden in a moment’s notice.
After the success of their artisan products, My Bud Vase wanted to offer bongs that were more readily available so more than one lucky customer could enjoy their beauty. These “Signature Collections” are developed to match the original designs and quality. The difference with these pieces are in the numbers. My Bud Vase saw the overwhelming demand for their water pipes and began these collections so a more widespread audience would have a chance to appreciate them.
“Rose”
The My Bud Vase “Rose” Water Pipe is a great place to start when talking about the elegance of these vase-turned-bongs. The thick porcelain construction has a glossy white finish complete with relief flower accents. These artistic details even come in your choice of matching white or delicate pink. As is the case with all My Bud Vase bongs, “Rose” comes with faux flower pokers that not only help you with concealing your vase’s true identity but also can be used to clean your bowl.

“Rose” was featured in one of our monthly “What’s New at DankStop” write-ups.
“Coyōté”
The newest member of the My Bud Vase family, the “Coyōté” Water Pipe has a wild at heart spirit with a gritty desert feel. No really, it has a sand-like texture besides the matte aztec-inspired artwork encompassing the base. All My Bud Vase bongs utilize rubber grommet joints and slides for easy cleaning and simple use. The rugged yet effective “Coyōté” is a welcome addition to the My Bud Vase family, specifically the “Signature Collections”.

• Faux Flower Poker Included
• Flared Mouthpiece
• Grommet Style Joint
• Bowl/Slide for Dry Herbs
• Thick Porcelain Construction

“Phoebe”
The yellow body of the “Phoebe” Water Pipe will certainly garner your attention. The functionality and easily accessible disguise will keep it. Part of a three product lineup (featuring her sisters Monica and Rachel) “Phoebe” is a simple mini bong that can really help your room pop. The gorgeous yellow body and white relief flower accents make this bong stand out for its looks alone. The fact that it comes with a slide and fixed downstem, making it a fully functional bong, is a bonus.

“Aurora”
Named after the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, the “Aurora” Water Pipe has iridescent coloring from head to toe. That includes the faux flower poker and authentic peacock feather which help clean your bong when you aren’t using it. The male bowl/slide is also tinted purple to match the rest of “Aurora”. The genie-like chamber has a studded design around it that really makes the contrasting colors pop.

While it would be great if everyone could enjoy all that My Bud Vase has to offer, some pieces are one of a kind. Although this is quite the negative when someone beats you to a bong you like (it also tends to drive the price up as well), if you happen to buy it first then you know you are the only one with a water pipe like this. My Bud Vase is constantly finding new pieces but be sure to grab them before someone else does as the exact same design will most likely never come around again.
“Verde”
As if the green glass wasn’t enough to catch your attention, the 19” height of the “Verde” Water Pipe is impossible to miss. This former vase has a rubber grommet joint and slide built-in to the side which can easily be hidden with a simple turn. The hue of the green glass will help the water inside look like any other plant water as well. “Verde” is just another perfect example of My Bud Vase allowing you to hide your bongs in plain sight.
• Thick, Colored Glass
• Faux Flower Poker Included
• Grommet Style Joint
• Fixed Downstem
• 45° Joint
• 19” Tall
“Helena”
One of the most classy bongs in the My Bud Vase family, and that’s saying a lot considering the company it keeps, the “Helena” Water Pipe is made entirely out of crystal clear glass. Filled with grace and refinement, “Helena” was handcrafted from a vintage vase, as is the case with most of the Artisan collection from My Bud Vase. The fixed downstem is somewhat concealed by the artistic etching on the body, making “Helena” easy to hide even when you aren’t trying to.
• Made from a Vintage Vase
• Faux Flower Poker Included
• Grommet Style Joint
• Fixed Downstem
• 45° Joint
• Crystal Clear Glass
“Bianca”
Another stunningly green bong, the “Bianca” Water Pipe was made from a vintage pitcher. It is now a bong thanks to the rubber grommet joint and corresponding slide. The handle and spout make “Bianca” easy to use. It’s impressive body bellows out allowing extra room for smoke build-up. Most My Bud Vase bongs have wider bodies resulting in consistently hefty hits. Don’t underestimate their pieces like “Bianca” as their smoke threshold carries as much weight as their looks.
• Thick, Colored Glass
• Faux Flower Poker Included
• Grommet Style Joint
• Fixed Downstem
• 45° Joint
• Easy to Carry
“Lilith”
Once again handcrafted from a vintage flower vase, the “Lilith” Water Pipe has a very interesting color scheme. Split in half, “Lilith” is made of both solid white and clear glass. The clear glass half lets you see your smoke while the white half keeps it out of sight. The matching white faux flower poker is helpful when cleaning the included bowl/slide and can be inserted into the mouthpiece for an extra layer of deception. A long fixed downstem attached to the rubber grommet joint means you won’t need as much water as you might think, as “Lilith” is already a thick girl.
• Half White, Half Clear Glass
• Matching Faux Flower Poker Included
• Grommet Style Joint
• Long Fixed Downstem
• 45° Joint
• Produces Massive Hits
“Big Bertha”
Quite the heffer, the “Big Bertha” Water Pipe will certainly fill up your lungs with diffused, tasty smoke. Although the price tag is a bit steep, “Big Bertha” is an absolute beast of a bong and has a truly unique shape. Two bulbous shapes are placed on top of each other, giving your bong plenty of room to store up smoke for monstrous hits. Replacing the common faux flower pokers of most My Bud Vase products is a flurry of green branches that you can still use to poke through any blockages in your bowl.
• Bulbous Shape for
• Massive Tokes
• Colored Glass
• Grommet Style Joint
• Fixed Downstem
• 45° Joint
• Green Branch Poker
Conclusion
Both the Signature and Artisan collections are constantly growing, with the My Bud Vase team constantly looking for new additions to their impressive catalog. Although the price point might not be within range for some smokers, the investment is worth it. How many bongs can you leave in the open without being judged or having your living room look like a college dorm? The uniqueness of My Bud Vase is enough to warrant the price tag alone.
