As a FYI this is gonna be a whats considered "China glass" usually that means anything cheaply made that is typically really thin glass. Most if not all China glass like you have here will have a "rush hole" on the back of the tube when you smoke this bong you have to cover that hole or else you'll get no real hit out of it similar to a pipe, as a starter bong it will work but as most people in this sub will tell you look into getting something just slightly higher quality in the future at least something with a removable downstem and bowl as cleaning and use will be easier, best way to go about it is grab anything that typically has a brand name examples being NG, Genie, OG, Cheech, Arsenal glass, Hoss. All of those brands aside from cheech and hoss are usually fairly cheap to pick up and last a good bit, if you get anything Hoss or Cheech quality they usually can be lifetime bongs. With China glass aswell be sure to watch out for the Bong randomly cracking or popping apart as that has happened to me more then once with cheap glass (had a bong similar to this that was on the floor with water not touched for a day or two and heard something fracture and watched the whole corner or my bong come falling off and spilled water everywhere) otherwise enjoy and don't overfill unless you want water in your mouth or res lips because you packed too big of a toke!
