New Stundenglass V3 Gravity Bong: The Upgrades

Stundenglass revolutionized the glass market when they released their classic gravity bong. It uses kinetic motion and water displacement. It uses opposite air flow and contactless inhalation. This is why it became an icon. However, some realized that this came with added maintenance.

Now, we have the new Stundenglass V3. It’s made to solve problems the previous units had, and added some upgrades. Also, the glass globes from the older model are compatible with the new Stundenglass V3.

Comparisons

Here are the differences between the Stundenglass classic gravity bong and the New Stundenglass V3:

1.) Physical Aspects

When you see the V3, there is a visual difference right away.

Stundenglass Classic: Has a thick metal frame. It feels heavy, wide, and strong, but also bulky and not easy to move.
New Stundenglass V3: The two-rail thick metal frame is now a single base. This helped make the device smaller and is 20% lighter. Spinning the globes is not as hard, which reduces wear and tear.

2.) Cleaning and Upkeep

One of the biggest differences is that the V3 gravity bong is much easier to clean.

• Stundenglass Classic: Many have said the classic version is hard to clean and takes a long time. Moisture, dirt, and product build-up get into the air path. You have to break down the unit to clean the collars and seals. You must clean it often, as the unit will become stiff and hard to rotate.

• New Stundenglass V3: The core is different. The inside chamber pathways pull apart without tools. This allows you to wash out the buildup with isopropyl alcohol in less time.

3.) Rotating Mouthpiece

Both versions work with the hose. The contactless method, when the water forces the smoke out, is the standard type of usage for gravity bongs.

Stundenglass Classic: The mouthpiece points up and is stationary. You have to move the whole device around if you want to share it with friends.
New Stundenglass V3: The mouthpiece rotates 360 degrees. You do not need to move the base; only move the mouthpiece to the position you want.

4.) Technology

The new Stundenglass has smart technology. It’s easy to register the device and start a warranty claim.

Stundenglass Classic: Has a physical serial number on the bottom of the base/in the manual. You have to enter this number to check authenticity and claim the warranty.
New Stundenglass V3: Has a built-in NFC Chip in the unit. Tap your phone against the metal body to authenticate and register for the warranty.

Conclusion

The classic Stundenglass gravity bong is still a great device with the same smooth, water-filtered performance. The gravity is still the same, but it is a chore to take apart and clean.

If you are looking for an upgrade that is easier to clean, the new Stundenglass V3 is a better choice for you. It is lighter in weight, and the rotatable mouthpiece makes the unit adapt to you rather than you adapting to the Stundenglass. It is also easier to register your device and claim your warranty. If you already have the classic, you do not necessarily need the new Stundenglass V3, but you will notice a difference in overall simplicity.
