Bongs Basics
Bongs and waterpipes - This guide is a guide for the beginner bong users. Use this info wisely and you will soon be ready to go out there and buy your first bong!
Why buy a bong?
Bongs and waterpipes - You may be a beginner or a seasoned smoker and you may also be wondering, “why buy a bong?” You get a good enough high from a pipe or joint, so why bother?
Bongs and Waterpipes may appear to be quite fancy, but in reality they are very simple. They basically work by pushing smoke through a small volume of bubbling water. As smoke is being pushed through, the water filters the smoke of some of its chemicals before it is inhaled.
But why would a bong be better than a pipe or a joint?
The water filters, cools the smoke and makes it smoother. This makes it possible for the inhalation to be bigger and longer, which means you can take a bigger hit.
This also means that you can get away with using less cannabis, as it takes more when rolling joints. When bongs are idle, they produce less smoke. They are also easy to extinguish between hits.
When smoking a bong, you can also enhance the experience by putting various liquids or by using ice. This makes the smoke cool and even smoother. Liquids are usually water, but anything can be tried.
Depending on what you are looking for there are bongs for everyone. Whether you want a small, portable bong there are mini bongs which suite this need. If you want a bong with a large filtration system, there are bongs with numerous chambers. These come with a wide price range, ranging from very cheap to very expensive but whatever your budget, there is a bong to fit your needs.
Bong types
There are many different types of Bongs; they come in many shapes and sizes. They can be simple with just one cylindrical tube or complex with numerous chambers and tubes. There are many types of materials that are used to create bongs. You can get Glass Bongs, Acrylic Bongs, Ceramic Bongs. There are many other materials used but these materials are more widely used. Many bongs are designed with aesthetics in mind and often these bongs prove to be impressive works of art. Bongs come in many, many shapes but the most popular three are cylindrical, beaker bottom and bubble bottom bongs.
But how does a bong work?
When you light the cannabis in the bowl smoke is drawn from the bowl, through the downpipe into the chamber. Once it reaches the chamber it forms bubbles in the liquid, which float through the liquid. The liquid then filters the smoke and takes out impurities. If you are using more exotic liquids like fruit juices, this may enhance the experience.
Most commonly used is cold water, or water with ice. As are herbal teas and sometimes alcohol; please do note, however when using alcohol this will cause you to lose some of the THC in the cannabis. This will also happen if you use milk or cream. This is because THC, which is what gives you the high feeling, is soluble in these liquids. It isn’t soluble in water. Using a sugary liquid will cause a sugary build up on the inside of your bong so use those types of liquids sparingly.
My bong is dirty, how do I clean it?
After you’re done smoking, you should make it good practise to clean your bong. Simple empty the water from the chamber and let it dry. Remove and debris from the bowl and if you have any difficulty cleaning the downpipe, a pipe cleaner will be able to reach the hard to reach places.
Purchasing your first Bong
Hopefully you now have a better understanding in what to look for in a bong and how they work. Smoking can be a very personal experience and you will probably have certain features you are after. I would advise to look at different bongs and do a little research before you buy.
