Bong or Pipe

[tappz]

i have around 30-40$ to spend an theres a head shop around my complex that has alota cheap peices an ive herd they hit pretty well i can get a nice looking bong for around 35-40$ or a nice looking pipe for 10-25$ . i want something that will get me ripped to. What do you think will get me the most high an will be the best for what i pay.

[sam44]

get a pipe first. because you always need a small portable smoking device

[tappz]

o yaa an i forgot to say that i already have a pipe just a small shitty one but i do have one

[Big_Smoke]

get a bong there da shit.

[tappz]

any body else got an opioin

[sonic titan]

bong bong bong bong. for sure.

[CoMfOrTaBlYnUmB420]

bongs are awesome, but like sam44 said u might be beter off with a pipe because of the portability of it. a nice glass one should do the trick

[Hunternora]

30-45 dollar bongs? Hmm... Are they plastic? If so you might enjoy a high quality glass pipe better. If somehow it's a nice sized glass bong, pick that shit up.

Go with the pipe. Easier to travel with and smaller for when you have to hide it. A bong will get you higher (most of the time) though.

Buy a handy steamroller. Save up $60 - $300 and get yourself a real bong then.

Bong. Bigger hits, smoother hits, cooler hits, you can taste the weed better.

[MistaGanja]

glass bong, better for the lungs.

-but if you really cant decide get a bubbler, its pipe with a water filter, i love bubblers so much.

[Matt the Funk]

Glass bong. If not a glass bong. Get a nice insane looking pipe, or bubbler. But be warned, if the bubbler doesn't look cool enough, it might get boring.

[Alwayz_Stoned]

Glass bong if not glass pipe a bad ass one.

Pipe is the only way to go when comparing bongs versus pipes. Bongs don't do much except filter out the THC and the taste. (Well, they filter out some of the tar as well, but don't think that is healthy. Why? Because they filter out the same ratio of THC as they do tar you just smoke more to get the same amount of THC.)

The only thing I'll smoke besides a pipe is a vaporizer. I think the reason most people prefer bongs to pipes is because almost every pipe in any given head shop is like 2 or 3 times too small! Not only do you burn your lips on those pipes, but the smoke is still blazing hot so it burns your throat and even lungs as well. Its hell... literally.

Get yourself a good 5-6 inch long glass pipe and you'll be in heaven. You can also vaporize in a pipe by holding the blue part of the flame close to the bud but not quite burning it. Just inhale slowly with the "shotgun hole" half-way open so the flame doesn't suck into the bud, but you're still drafting the vapors into the pipe. Then when you've had enough vapor, throw the "toast" away or (if you want) put the flame on it and get the different (but still nice) taste of that thick smoke.

Pipes just taste better. Plus you get more THC per hit. And if you're concerned about tar you can always vaporize with a pipe too.

bongs dont filter thc dude. thc isnt water soluble so only a very small amount of thc will actually be taken away. and its proven that bongs dont filter that much tar. although some, but not a whole lot. the main purpose of a bong is to use the water to cool the smoke making for a longer, larger hit

[jsn9333]

Wrong my friend. NORML and MAPS did a study comparing non-filtered smoking devices (joints), water bongs, and vaporizers. The bongs performed the worst on filtering tar per amount of THC. Unfiltered joints were even better. To quote the study exactly:

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. Ironically, the pipe with the electric mixer scored by far the worst of any device. 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.

If you wanna get more f'd up buy a bong.

[Ub3rB0ng]

Get a bubbler and have the best of both worlds,get you ripped like a bong and smaller in size so easier to deal with if your clumsy :)

[PooKazoo]

Bong

Haha where you at? I'll even smoke you out as long as I get to rip that shit lol

[bluntman2006]

personally i prefer blunts

[MrMojoRisin7127]

personally i prefer blunts

Well congratulations, I actually prefer my vaporizer. But I didn't go and say that, because that doesn't at all answer his question. He gave you two options to choose from, but you instead chose a third you made up that didn't at all contribute to the thread he started.

But of the two options he did give, I would def go for the bong. :jointsmile:

Experienced smokers know. Honey hits off the top. Toss it in the gutter or in a field if you're in a pinch. Vaporize with it. Burn with it. More THC. Better taste. 5-6" long so it's smooth....

and if I might add, easy maintenance.

The rest are just toys that look cool. They still get you high, but I prefer a nice glass pipe for flexibility, ease of use and convenience.

Vaporizers win hands down, but i aint dropping 300 on one haha...

as for bongs vs pipes, bongs anyday. I own both, 2 pipes, and a nice 1.5 ft bong. My bong is the only thing that can give me freaking tunnel vision after hitting it. Thats feeling like ohhhhhhh crap that was a big ass hit...

Pipes just get you a little high to be honest...when you don't want to cough just get the feeling...plus sometimes you suck in the ash, and hot smoke does not taste good unfiltered...

Not to mention im hardly 'on the go' and need a pipe to smoke out of. I'm always smoking at my pad, so bong is the way to go.

[stillblazin92]

start with getting a pipe
