ELI5 Pricing Guide
No confusion. Here is how pricing works.
The Build-A-Bong event has a base price, then guests can choose optional upgrades. Think of it like ordering food: everyone starts with the main plate, then they can add extras if they want a bigger or fancier build.
Step 1
Everybody starts with a base build.
The base build is the starting price for the event. It covers the hands-on build experience, the standard setup, guidance, and the guest leaving with a finished piece.
$50
Standard / Prettier Base Build
The middle option for guests who want a better-looking base, a stronger table presence, or a more complete-feeling build.
- Good default recommendation
- Good for themed parties
- Good starting point for dual-use builds
$60
Premium Base Build
The higher base option for events with prettier pieces, stronger styling, or more premium inventory.
- Good for premium parties
- Good for photo-friendly setups
- Good for guests who want the best base first
Plain English:
If someone only wants the regular Build-A-Bong experience, they usually pay somewhere between $40 and $60. That is the starting price before any fancy extras.
Step 2
Then guests choose if they want upgrades.
Upgrades are not required. They are for guests who want a more customized piece, a smoother-looking setup, or a dual-use flower/concentrate-ready build.
$20–$25
Ash Catchers
Adds a bigger visual upgrade and extra filtration-style hardware to the build.
$10–$15
Premium Bowls
For guests who want a cuter, nicer, or more themed flower bowl than the basic option.
$25
Cute Carb Caps
Needed for many dab-style setups and also adds personality to the finished build.
$10–$15
Quartz Bangers
Used to turn a basic compatible build into a dual-use rig setup.
Plain English:
The base build is the main price. Upgrades are like add-ons. A guest can keep their build simple, or they can add parts to make it bigger, cuter, or more premium.
Real Examples
Here is exactly how totals are made.
These examples are the easiest way to explain pricing. Guests do not need to guess. They pick a base, then add upgrades if they want them.
Example 1: Simple Base Build
Guest wants the regular experience with no upgrades.
$40–$60 base build = $40–$60 total
- Best for guests who want to keep it simple
- No premium upgrades added
- Clear budget-friendly option
Example 2: Basic Dual-Use Rig Build
Guest wants a basic bong build plus a banger and carb cap.
$40–$45 base + $10–$15 banger + $25 carb cap = about $80–$85 total
- Best public-facing price: $80–$85
- Good for flower-friendly or concentrate-ready setups
- This is the easiest dual-use package to sell
Example 3: Premium Dual-Use Rig Build
Guest wants a nicer base, premium quartz banger, and one of the best carb caps.
$50–$55 premium base + $15 premium quartz banger + $25 carb cap = about $90–$95 total
- Best premium package price: $90–$95
- Great for guests who want the most complete setup
- Best option for premium table inventory
Example 4: Fully Built-Out Guest Choice
Guest wants a premium base, banger, carb cap, and ash catcher.
$90–$95 premium dual-use build + $20–$25 ash catcher = about $110–$120 total
- Best for guests who want the biggest upgrade path
- Not required for the event
- Available only while premium inventory lasts
For Hosts
How to explain it to your group.
If guests pay individually
Tell guests: “The event starts at $40–$60 per person. You can keep your build basic or bring extra money for upgrades.”
If the host pays as a group
Pick the base level you want covered for everyone. Guests can still pay separately for optional upgrades if you allow it.
If it is a business pop-up
Promote the base price clearly, then list upgrades as optional at the table so customers understand the full range.
FAQ
Pricing questions answered before they ask.
Do I have to upgrade?
No. Upgrades are optional. The base build is enough to participate in the event.
Why does the price say $40–$60?
Because different events may use different base pieces, themes, guest counts, and setup needs.
What is a dual-use rig build?
It is a compatible base build upgraded with a banger and carb cap so it can be built toward a concentrate-ready setup.
Why is the dual-use rig $80–$85?
Because it adds a banger and carb cap to the base build. The rounded package price keeps the math simple.
Why is the premium one $90–$95?
Because it uses a nicer base, a premium quartz banger, and one of the best carb caps available at the event.
Can prices change?
Yes, based on inventory, travel, theme, guest count, and special requests. The published ranges help guests plan before booking.
