Never owned one. When I was in college I was moving into a room in a fraternity house that had the words "The Bijou" carved into a piece of wood on the door there was a US Bong in the room on the headboard of a water bed I was hoping to claim. Weird pulley systems abound. There was a loft built above it I assume for the room mate. I dropped my bags and left to get groceries with my Dad. When I returned my bags were moved and I was told that suite of rooms had been condemned. Damn it. The next room did not come with a bong.

How about "sea weed"? Anyone experience that? I lived in Florida for a year after high school in the 70's and we'd go hang out at Cocoa Beach at night getting high and hoping to see sea turtles or a bail of weed floating in , as they were regularly thrown overboard during ship raids by ships coming from Columbia. We never found any, but I did buy a bag from someone who did, and it was the nastiest weed ever. Tried everything I could think of...still nasty salty.
And the first time I smoked any great US grown weed was also in Florida, coming out of Gainsville....Gainsville Green, it was called, and we could only buy it by the bag....which was probably like 4-5 grams for $30 if I recall....which was a lot coming from $40 ounces of Columbian. But we never went back!!
And tai weed was the best...I once blacked out in a fried chicken joint after my buddy woke me up and got me baked on some.

In our mid teens back then, I had a friend that took a few old dead dried up crispy cockroaches and stuck them in
in a bong bowl when our idiot friend wasn't looking and sprinkled a little pot on top to cover up the roaches
and handed it to my other friend to smoke. The friend took a big hit, inhaled deeply and blew out this huge white cloud of smoke and
proceeded to notice the taste was off with a disgusted look on his face and then realized our friend did something
to the hit so the friend that took the huge hit of cockroach's grabbed a near by hammer and started to go at my buddy
with it and my buddy whipped out his gun so the friend with the hammer backed off only to laugh it off. That was such a
funny seen I'll never forget. Can you imagine what that big hit tasted like as he was blowing out that huge white cloud
of cockroach smoke lol. My buddy and I were busting up it was so funny.

I went to Ace hardware and grabbed some brass fittings and made my own.

Nice, I still have mine. I got mine from a friend a long time ago. I also still have a chamber pipe too, lol. The chamber pipe actually did make the bud in the chamber stronger. A heavier high, since you're smoking resin too.

Nice. I made my own multi stage acrylic bongs. I found a place that sold the stuff in Reno. I got the bases and flat pieces free from their scrap bin. I just bought the colored tubes from them. The head shops had the rest of the pieces I needed. I made them for a bunch of people in Tahoe.Never owned one.

Same here. I love my SSV desktop vape. I leave it on 24/7.

Was just debating between that and the extreme q, ended up going with the marginally cheaper EQ. Seeing this makes me wonder if I should have ponied up for the silver surfer

The first time me and my buddy got high we stole brass fittings from his dads shop for a pipe, along with a fifth of Black Label whiskey, bought $3 worth of Mexican weed from one of the employees, and got fucked up until we puked!! We smoked like 13 bowls, but the whiskey got us! Pretty sure we were 12, maybe 13. SMH...

A quart of Southern Comfort split between two teenagers, keeping puke off my new boots was not a concern at the time.
