The Bongs or pipes what one works better for u?

[#1cheesebuds]

I am toking on some homegrown cured buds and I had been using my lil pipe foe a while. but then yesterday I was toking wit a buddy and we used my water pipe and we got so high.
Im talking higher than a kite in the sky and it lasted for 2 hours straight. weee hoooo... plastered
but when I was smoking out of my lil pipe for a while befor yesterday I only got a little bit of a buzz.

any of yall have any opinions as to why I got way way way more high when smoking my bong Vs my lil pipe?

also u can share ur buzz worthy stories too.

It's because when you draw and clear a bong, your pulling in a lot more smoke and that is concentrated. Using a pipe, your not pulling in as much and it is also mixed with the room air. Look at the bong and look how much smoke your going to pull. That don't fit in a pipe.

bongs provide bigger hits than pipes
bigger the bong the bigger the hit

i dont like to go past a 3' tube though... to hard to light by myself : )

BONG, for sure it's just about the only thing I use anymore. Nothing fancy just a clear glass bubbler with a pull bowl.

Bubbler. -Miny Bong. heheh

I love my little meerschaum pipe, but I find myself reaching for the bong more and more.
The hits are bigger and smoother, and smoother hits means less problems with my lungs....(looking into going vape to solve that problem).
I do miss the taste that I get from that 1st hit off a pipe though.

I like a little well diffused mini-bong/bubbler for concentrates and herb. Carbon filter with herb because my lungs thank me for it. I find smaller pieces show taste better (bubbler-style mouthpiece helps too, tongue is more in contact with smoke path).

Bubblers do give better taste and are like a combination piece. They hit harder than a dry pipe but don't eat through the weed like a bong.

dry pipes give a slow lift off. You don't ingest that much at once. If I pack .3 in a dry pipe it'll probably take me 15 minutes to 30 min to smoke it. Just puffing and relaxing. Because of that the stone comes on gradually.

When i use my bong (my weapon of choice) and I pack a .3 bowl I smoke it in about 3 seconds flat. You go from zero to sixty (sober to super stoned) in about 6 seconds. Sends you reeling, and your brain fights to adapt to its new state. So its quite a bigger rush.

hell yah very very cool opinions guys. thx for ur thoughts on this.

I like a good bong if only for the clean smooth hits it provides. I find that after smoking out of a pipe too much my throat gets irritated.

get on a water bucket bro it will mess up your day

I have noticed that smoking out of small quartz glass hitters and one hitter bong rips will get me there better than the same amount of herb puffed out of a pipe. I've always suspected that the repeated igniting and capping of the pipe heat damages the herb before you get the chance to smoke it all. This effect is easiest noticed when doing a wake and bake with a half burnt bowl from the night before. It just doesn't take me there like it should. Since that observation I've been doing one hits, be they out of a bong or a bat. Maybe it's a placebo effect, I don't know?

When you think about relighting a pipe x-number of times it makes logical sense.
Good observation.

are water pipes counterproductive?

Disappointingly, waterpipes performed uniformly worse than the unfiltered joint. The least bad waterpipe, the bong, produced 30% more tar per cannabinoids than the unfiltered joint. This suggests that water filtration is actually counterproductive, apparently because water tends to absorb THC more readily than noxious tars. Like the waterpipes, the cigarette filter also performed worse than the unfiltered joint, by about 30%. Researchers speculate this is because cannabinoids are exceptionally sticky and adhere to other solids. Hence, any filtration system that picks up particulates is likely also to screen out cannabinoids

 

[Govinda]

I want to see a new study that tests blood thc levels after smoking, the same amount of weed in a joint compared to seperated into 1-hit snappers through a bong. Any other test is illegitimate because it doesn't take into account what effects the water might be having in helping absorption by removing "filler" in unfiltered smoke and people's actual smoking habits in regards to holding it in/how big of a hit they take.

 

[DaPurps]

I prefer bongs. Clear glass, easy to keep clean. Right after I clean the bong I will run ice cold water over the inside and out to chill the glass, then use ice water for smooth hits...

 

[motaco]

I'd wager bongs do pull thc out the water.

I have a fancy double perc bong and higher in the neck it deposits a thick gold oil that looks just like honey oil.

I think the reason joints perform better is that the paper absorbs the oil and it is smoked along with the roach.

But I think in practical terms any pothead can tell you joints are more wasteful than bongs. I'm interested in how they collect the smoke to test that.

 

[Hammerhead]

I love my Bubbler. I have a few bongs,pipes,Bubblers. My Custom Bubbler kills me every time. If I put on the Bell I'm toast and can not function

 

[oldhaole]

I prefer a big fat joint. That does the job best for me. If I don't have papers....then I bust out the little pink pipe.

Last preference is the bong. I get ripped, but the high doesn't last as long.

Just my 2 cents

 

[medwa]

Bongs for me!
I even like plastic ones!
(Y'all may stone me to death now.)
