So im guessing its not as bad as i thought it would be, i think i would only use this when i want to get knock out other then that i'll stick with my wooden pipes
cheers,
Red.
good idea.
back in the day I used to smoke out of G bongs alot but now I can only handle smoking out of wood pipes and blunts.
I do wanna get me a vapo for smoking.
i think blunts are worse for you than gravity bongs/waterfalls.

I have tried gravity bongs, and I thinik they are more for teens and amateurs. Just imho. Not really a conniseur type of device but they do the trick.
Agreed. Imo, you take a hit from a GB and it gets you really high for a while with quickness and the "ooooh man, that really hit the spot" feeling, but then it goes away pretty fast too, no matter what i've smoked.. I prefer longer lasting high/daze
And a mellower method like a joint, or even a water bong..There's novelty value, but after a few hits, majority will go back to their joints/bongs/whatev else..

This is a step-by-step of a Gravity Bong:

Bringing this back instead of opening new threadd
**cliff notes** Ripped a bowl from the gravity with a strain I'd never tried before. Lead to a 200+ BP and laying in the hospital for 2 days while doctors figure out what the hell was causing the madness
Their awesome. But must be respected. One night back in September of 11' I had a pretty decent tolerance. 4 .2-.3 bowls within 5 minutes. Well one day a friend brought over some Jack hybrid. First bowl hit some Sour to start the sesh off. Every good att this point. Second rip decide to pack the bowl to the brim with some of that Jack.
Within 5 minutes I had the worst vertigo imagineable. Heart was violently visibly beating through my chest. Had to been in excess of 220 bpm. this is not exagerration. I estimate that speed as the next day I was rushed to the hospital when I was working, doing nothing out of the normal and almost passed out. BP had dropped to 110/30 and HR had reached 211, and dropped to a low of thirty something. I have the results laying around here somewhere of the Holter monitor I had to wear for a week. Scary shit looking at those results lol.
Doctors chalked it up to Pericarditis in which the gravity aggravated and ultimately lead to a possibly perma panic attack. To this day I still have palpitations almost 24/7 along with slight static field vision . It gets better day by day though. Certain sativa's I've found rid me of the irregular beating. Speeds my heart up but keeps it at a constant pace. Weird lol.

lol..
ive been smoking gravity bongs for 20 years, its the choice of most smokers around here (iceland)
though joints have been coming in bit after the advent of local indoor bud, before it was all smuggled hash from abroad.
among other things, they are a great way to conserve your stash, just dont take so big hits, you can get pretty decently high on a half a fingernails worth and that way its more easy to control how high you get. (plus it seriously keeps the tolerance level down.)
personally i prefer gravity bongs over everything else, best way to get ripped.
but like i said, you shouldnt take so big hits. (unless you like it)
try taking a half a fingernails worth and use a nice screen.

Hitting buckets gets me more stoned then most smoking devices. Its weird how people smoke them differently. Some people smoke them like chutes, using water to push the smoke in their lungs. Others let it drain completely before clearing the bottle. I dont like the open bottom designs.I find them harsh
I grinded a half inch hole in the side of a vodka bottle close to the bottom. Hitting glass gravity bongs is far smoother, especially if you have a glass bowl too.
I dont let all the water drain out before taking my hit. The few inches of bubbling action in the bottom helps cool the bucket hit when you rip the smoke super quick. As long as the drain hole is on the side of the container, you shouldn't get any "splash-up".
I've never heard of people collapsing lungs and fucking themselves up until now.This one time i quit smoking for 5 weeks, then started smoking with the gravity bong. I tripped out bad like 15 minutes later.Fucked up vision, anxiety attacks. I was walking around town, super paranoid, then I ran into the woods and hid. Took me like 2 hours to feel somewhat sane again. lol

There is currently no scientific evidence to date that even so much as suggests that cannabis has any negative effect on pulmonary function, and as it's an expectorant, you could also say that smoking your gravity bong is good as fuck for you.
issue most likely was oxygen deprivation. causes you to pass out and feel lightheaded and sick and all that. i did grav a couple times back in the day, my friend got whitey when he stood up. i loled but at the same time it was worrisome. you don't get any higher from holding the hit longer. you get higher by taking more hits. you take the same gram and smoke it in 1 bowl/bong/whatever hit. then smoke the same gram in a blunt or joint. you'll be higher longer by smoking over a longer course of time.
the more bonghits i do the more my tolerance shoots up. if i use my one hitter instead i smoke 1/10 the amount. get the same as high.
