Are bongs really "all that"? Convert me...

also too me it really depends how high i want to get. wake and bake i like a joint cause i can still function(at a slower pace) but if i want to kick back and veg...cant beat a bong or pipe. i had a bad experience @10yrs ago with a vape. my sisters boyfriend came into town and bought a vape, i think they were still in the early days of making them, but this one had a brass tray that heated up and incinerated the weed...long story short...we didnt read the instructions so we didnt do the initial firing to burn of outer layer. ive never been sicker and i swore off the things then. then this year i tried a newer version($300 machine). needless to say i will be purchasing one in the near future.

its different for everyone but I prefer bongs because the smoke feels cleaner and smoother

Yes, bong are very nice - mine is sitting next to me and my good chair - next to the volcano. Bong before bedtime - volcano for active programming ;O))

Bongs are crap in comparison to joints I've found...I dunno, I've DONE a few bongs (shitty tiny little thing) but you get through a CRAZY amount of weed, for me at least - 1 full bong bowl = 3-5 DECENT spliffs...

Whats the point in that when you gotta make your harvest last til the next one? You'd literally NEED that next harvest immediately to prevent running out (of course it depends on the number of plants and how much you get off them but, y'know...)

Now a spoon pipe or something when you can't be arsed with rolling a spliff is an easy way of getting high, but STILL not half as high as a spliff IMHO (they're good if you wanna try and control HOW high you wanna get though...)

I use very little bud in my bong rips idk what your talking about.

1 bowl in the bong = to 3-5 spliffs? Are you really talking about tobacco/bud or just joints? With one of my small joints I could smoke like 8 bowls out of my hurricane

I 2 never smoked a bong..i wanna buy one tho..and i wontbe filling it wih water..anybody tried liquor in there bong?

It takes 1-2 bowls for me to get ripped from my bong, which is about half as much weed as a regular joint. So unless you have the tiniest spliffs in the world, I cant see how 1 bowl is = to 5 spliffs...

The cannabinoids will bind to the alcohol. You can do it, but it takes away from the potency of your smoke... Unless you drink it after.

Because, he's from the UK and a "spliff" has tobacco in it while a joint is 100% cannabis, so he probably uses 60% tobacco to 40% cannabis. Very low tolerance..

Yeah, I don't know I always seem to get higher off of a joint, pipes...fuck takes me like 8 bowls to get high

More like 85-15...75-25 if I wanna get more wrecked - I use MJ as the "spice" in a roll-up basically...just enough to be hearing the "story" of the trip which doesn't match the TV prog I'm watching, thus making me think "WTF?"...

I just smoked like 4 bowls outta this hurricane and I'm loving this shit... Packing another.


The thing is you gotta put just enough to clear in one hit in the bowl

Bongs are more efficient than joints because the joint is always burning weed where a bong is not. Unless you load a huge bowl that you cant smoke, and while its not being hit the bowl goes out. That's how you can waste weed in bongs.


I never understood why people back huge bowls that are still burning when people pull the slide out and clear it. If I load a huge bowl to pass between 4 people I make them keep it burning. You only clear the chamber a little to keep it from getting nasty. Other than that just keep passing the bong while it's cherry.

Bong is only good for taking in large amounts of smoke at one time. You actually get higher smoking out of pipe or joint pound for pound .

Actually, a study was conducted that showed that a joint is on average 27% effective at thc delivery, a bong 85%, and a vaporizer hit the 90+% effective mark. Joints are really only good in that they travel really easily, unfortunately, they waste a ton of weed though.

Nope.. I fuckin hate bongs haha..

Anyone want to buy a couple illadelphs? Def trying to get rid of mine..

So, I've never smoked from a bong. I've used a small water-bubbler pipe, non-bubbler pipes, a vaporizer... But never a fully fledged bong.

Is it really that good? What's the difference? Why should I invest in one?

Dude never having a hard hitting bong hit is like never getting your dick sucked by two chicks. It's that good!
