I was wondering if gravity bongs were necessarily worse than regular bongs or worse than any other way of smoking? I'm asking because the method that has to be used. All the smoke being forced into the lungs and all that. Do you guys think it has greater health risks or what?

well its worse than a water bong simply because i water bong filters the smoke.......but i wouldnt think the whole forcing into your lungs part would have anything to do with it....but dont take my word for it
Any kind of smoke entering your lungs is bad for you. Bongs aren't so much as blunts/j's because it's filtered through the water. And if it's forced down into your lungs it's probably just as bad if you inhale it... 
Or I don't know, I may be completely wrong. :D

Yeah I already know any type of smoke in the lungs isn't healthy but I was told that the gravity action isn't healthy at all. I don't know I just got into the g-bong thing, feel like I have a whole lot more experimenting to do with it before I give it a rest lol.

so what your saying is that because the smoke is being forced into your lungs, its worse.. right??
if thats the case then i can see how it could be worse, just because its being forced in... not really sure why but it does kinda make sense...

No actually I never said that, I had a debate with some one and that other person was saying that the force of smoke into the lungs was worse, I never thought that. If that was the case I never would have built a g-bong or continue to use one..

The lungs wont pop unless you were using a 100 galloon g bong and did a bellyflop in the pool to force the smoke down...
so i dont think the force hurts it unless your over enthusiastic about it...the heat from how hot it burns (very hot ill tell you ...3 hits and the bowls ouch hot) and that smoke is in there for a second or two until u take it in and its still real hot..
so that might be bad
overall g bong are obviously worse for u then bongs but they conserve double and are easy and i love em..
sometimes i did use to feel it when smokin crap bud for a week or so straight on the g bong and it fucked up my throat and i stopped...so it is bad yes but smokin the chronic it wont do much harm..
look into attaching a bic pen onto the glass stem u (need to to do this) have on ur g bong and make it submerge in the water and this sounds liek heaven to me...
Btw im a huge Proponent of G bongs and im looking into very seriously into getting a 100 $ Roor...i love reg bongs!!

You get back what goes into the gravity bong. If there are little pieces of ash going through the bowl, then you are going to push it right back into your lungs, along with a shit load of THC.

The deeper the smoke goes into your lungs, the harder it is for the "resin" in your lungs to be cleaned out of there.
I'm not actually sure if this is true, I read this somewhere and I have no proof but you asked so...

dude g-bongs are not bad on ur lungs unless ur smoking tobacco out of them. if ur using mj then ur fine and u will just get really high. plus bud opens up ur airways in ur lungs so u cough all that shit out.....unlike tobacco which constricts them.

Nah it's not worse in the sense you asked. I remember a reliable source (forgot which one) said that humans don't use full lung capacity.

Lol well see this turned out into a pretty good thread. Just thought it'd be a good debate. Honestly I don't think g-bongs are worse. I mean it's just smoke being pushed into lungs. I really think there is no difference. You're still inhaling smoke no matter what method you are using to smoke it.
Smoke is smoke - so really i dont think it'd be any worse for you.
As we know smoke is bad, whatever it is - but as we also now cannabis doesnt cause problems [irreversable ones] you'll be safe. 
I must admit, i've never bothered with Gbongs but i might give it ago one day, seems like it's a good bit of kit.

Yeah LIP you really gotta make one lol! Get a jug with the thin plastic cap so it'll be easier to cut a hole in it and easier to force the bowl in it. Man you'll love it :).
Cool man, i'll make one tonight and i might even end up posting pics - after i've picked up that is. I'm running a little too low for comfort.
