Product Questions

What is the difference between 14mm and 18mm joints?

14mm and 18mm refer to the diameter of the joint connection on bongs and accessories. 14mm is the most common size for smaller to medium bongs, while 18mm is typically found on larger pieces. Always check your bong's joint size before purchasing accessories.

What does "Male" and "Female" joint mean?

Male joints insert into female joints. Most bongs have female joints (the opening), while bowls and bangers typically have male joints (the part that inserts). Make sure your accessories match your bong's joint gender.

What is borosilicate glass?

Borosilicate glass is a high-quality, heat-resistant glass used in premium bongs and pipes. It's more durable than regular glass, resistant to thermal shock, and easier to clean.

What's the difference between quartz and titanium for dabbing?

Quartz provides superior flavor preservation and heats evenly, making it the preferred choice for flavor enthusiasts. Titanium heats up faster, retains heat longer, and is virtually indestructible, making it ideal for heavy use.

Are your rolling papers organic?

We carry both organic and standard rolling papers. RAW Organic and Pure Hemp papers are made from natural, unbleached materials with no added chemicals.

What is a percolator?

A percolator is a filtration system inside a bong that diffuses smoke through water multiple times, creating smoother, cooler hits. Common types include tree, honeycomb, and showerhead percolators.

What is an ice catcher?

Ice catchers are built-in notches in the neck of a bong that hold ice cubes, cooling the smoke as it passes through for an even smoother hit.

What payment methods do you accept?

Returns & Refunds

Can I return an item if I change my mind?

Contact us within seven business days of receipt to request a change-of-mind return. Items must be unused, unworn, and in their original condition and packaging with tags. Please provide proof of purchase. Accepted change-of-mind returns receive a full refund, not store credit. No restocking fees apply.

Which items are excluded from change-of-mind returns?

The following items are excluded from change-of-mind returns. This list, including final-sale or opened status, is not an automatic reason to reject faulty or damaged-goods claims:

  • Items marked as "Final Sale" or "Clearance"
  • Gift cards and vouchers
  • Downloadable digital products
  • Personalized or custom-made items
  • Perishable goods
  • Intimate apparel, swimwear, and hygiene products (once packaging is opened)
  • Products with removed or damaged tags

Can I exchange a product?

We do not offer change-of-mind exchanges. If you would like a different product, request a return and refund, then place a separate new order. For qualifying defective goods, repair, replacement, or refund options remain available according to the consumer's choice.

What if my product is defective?

Defective-goods returns are accepted within six months from the date of receipt. Please report a defect within seven business days of discovering it so we can help promptly. This is a request for prompt reporting, not an automatic reason to reject a later claim. Contact us with proof of purchase and photographs where possible. We arrange free collection from the original delivery address. Repair, replacement, or refund options remain available for qualifying defective goods according to the consumer's choice.

What if my order arrives damaged or incorrect?

Please contact us within 48 hours of delivery with your order details and photographs where possible, so we can investigate promptly. This is a request for early reporting, not an automatic reason to reject a later claim. We arrange free collection from the original delivery address. For qualifying faulty or damaged goods, repair, replacement, or refund options remain available according to the consumer's choice.

Do I need the original packaging, labels and tags for faulty or damaged goods?

Please include packaging, labels and tags where still available, and pack the item securely. Missing packaging, labels or tags are not automatic grounds for rejecting a faulty or damaged-goods claim. Change-of-mind returns have separate condition and packaging requirements.

Who pays for return collection, and are there restocking fees?

We arrange free collection from the original delivery address for every accepted return, including accepted international returns. No restocking fees apply. Contact us for return authorization and collection arrangements before sending an item.

When will my refund be processed?

Our target is to process refunds within 7–10 business days of the return request or discrepancy being reported, not from receipt of the returned item or refund approval. This is a processing target, not a guaranteed maximum. Refunds are issued to the original payment method, not store credit. For cash payments, refunds are made by EFT.

How do I request a return?

Email support@marleyshome.co.za or call +27824030447 with your order number, reason for return, proof of purchase, and photographs where applicable. Wait for return authorization and collection instructions, then pack the item securely. Please include your invoice and return authorization number.


Product Care & Maintenance

How do I clean my glass bong or pipe?

Use isopropyl alcohol (90% or higher) and coarse salt. Shake thoroughly, rinse with warm water, and repeat if necessary. For stubborn residue, let it soak in the alcohol solution.

How often should I change my bong water?

Change your bong water after every session for the best taste and smoothest hits. Fresh water prevents buildup and keeps your piece clean.

How do I refill my Zippo lighter?

Lift the insert from the case, turn it over, and apply Zippo lighter fluid to the cotton wadding. Replace the wick and flint as needed using our Zippo replacement parts.

How do I maintain my quartz banger?

Clean your quartz banger after each use with a cotton swab while it's still warm. For deep cleaning, soak in isopropyl alcohol. Avoid overheating to prevent clouding.

How do I know when to replace my downstem?

Replace your downstem if it's cracked, chipped, or no longer creates a proper seal. A damaged downstem can affect airflow and filtration.


Age Verification

Do I need to be 18+ to purchase?

Yes, you must be 18 years or older to purchase from our store. We may require age verification at checkout or delivery.

Will I be asked for ID upon delivery?

Yes, our courier may request to see valid ID to verify you are 18 years or older before handing over your package.
