glass bubblers

[StarcommanderX]

are glass bubblers worth buying? are they easy to clean? and what kind is best, like spoons, sherlocks, side cabs, etc.

[altwnyguy73]

all glass is easy to clean....alcohol...stronger the better % wise....try soaking, or alcohol and add instant rice and shake....the rice knocks the resin off the inside walls...works good(dont cook the rice though...lol) As for what type...I like small spoons to carry, bubblers are nice 4 home...peace!

They're nice and I love them but the water filters out more cannabinoids than tars, keep that in mind

thats not true, THC does not stick to water, its not a water soluble material. peace

That's what I thought too, and it's logical, until I read this study.


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.

So even though water doesn't have any fats for the THC to bond to, it still screens out more THC than tars/particulates, making it inherently ineffecient. I didn't like hearing that and it was dissapointing to me since I love bongs and bubblers, but it's a fact. Nothing outperforms regular joints/blunts.
