After Smoking Out Of A Bong...

[IllusionalFate]

... I just don't want to smoke out of ANYTHING else. The first time I smoked weed was with a bong, and I didn't appreciate how amazing they were since it was my first time, but last night I toked up with a few friends that had a bong, and I feel like just throwing my nice little chillum/one-hitter out the window.

It feels like using anything else is just a complete waste of herb. Inhaling and watching the thick white smoke come up through the tube while the water is making the awesome bubbling noise is just too cool of an experience to settle for anything else. I only had 3 good hits and I was baked.

Anyone else here have an obsession with bongs? After my experience, I refuse to smoke out of anything else, besides a bubbler.

BTW, are there any bongs that don't use sliders? If there are, what are the advantages/disadvantages of each type?

Bongs that don't use sliders use a carb. A little hole in the back that you put your finger over to gather smoke into the bong, and then release it to go into your mouth. I like sliders better, you can get custom bowls and better downstems. Plus, most really expensive (and reeeally nice) bongs use sliders.

It's like a car. You can get an automatic or a manual transmission. Automatic's are easier, but manuals are cooler, and all of the best cars have manual transmissions.

^^^ totally agree

and, if you are going to spend money on a bong, you might as well make it a nice one, that way you dont have to upgrade :P

Bongs that don't use sliders use a carb.
Yeah, that's what I thought, but when I was looking at online headshops I couldn't even find one bong that had a carb. Thanks for the help, now I won't even bother with the non-slider ones.

When I was searching for bongs, I came across this one:http://fatglasspipes.com/UpRights/Sour_Biscuit/peculators_upright.jpg

It's absolutely beautiful, and is 16-17" tall. The website (http://www.fatglasspipes.com/UpRights/Store.htm), says that it's a "2 stage Peculator", and features double filtration. What does this peculator do? Will it be hard to clean? (Also says "Includes Slider + peculator installation and removal tool")

Perculators are basically a form of double-filtration. I know some bongs have perculators that don't come out, but the whole magic glass line does.

I use a ROOR. Every ROOR looks the exact same, and it's a big company, which are both downers in my opinion. However, with a diffuser and a custom bowl, I've never had a bong that got me higher with less weed. It cost me about 300 overall (I bought a lot of cleaning equipment and a bag, too) but it's probably saved me twice that in weed. Plus, it's really hard to break. Trust me, I almost broke a glass table with it.

P.S. Ice catchers are the shiznit. You heard me.

I have an obsession with bongs, use it most of the time cause i never leave my house to get baked, just chill in my bedroom lie back listen to magical mystery tour and watch scooby doo, thts some trippy shit the old episodes with the shitty animation

[D1me]

i stick with my bubbler. im new to weed so im vowing never to buy a bong, and never have mroe then 2 pieces. (this is so i make sure i never go in too deep, i think) In total i have one pipe, and have had 2 bubblers, but smashed the first one a few days ago (was not great quality, been taped together but still hit ok cost $40) because i got a new bubbler $70.

[sMokethEntoke]

yes bongs are great there the best to just lay back and chill

i only use that at my house and my bowl to take out

i have this little plastic bubbler bong that has a carb. it rips like a motherfucking champ and i love it. :DDD my lil bong is a CLASSIC hit with a lot of my friends :D

and to answer your original question... yes, i do looove bongs! i'm a bong kind of person but i will smoke out of almost anything. :dance: :dance: :dance:

Bongs are awesome. Why dont you like sliders?

[chainedangel]

all bongs suck, except glass, arcylic, metal, and cyramic bongs. another time a bong dosent suck is when it is a regular bong, or gravity bong. they have to range from 1 inch- 10 feet for me to hit it..

ok..... the only time bongs suck, are when they dont have any weed in them

i personally like carbs over slides... carbs give you a big "rush" of air that feels really nice... slides are more relaxed.. and harder to use... and the cherry holes from spilling your slide are hard to explain

[Justin.J]

Hahahahahahaahahaha

[Captain Jack Sparrow]

Never used a carb before, but yeah, bongs are always the smoking device of choice. :thumbsup:

The smoke is so much cooler and feels so much better in my lungs.

um... so throw the chillum out the window buddy! there are these 1ft plastic acrylic bongs at almost every headshop ive ever been to for around $18. they work amazing and get you FUCKED... plus you never have to worry about it breaking unless you run it over or something. i highly recommend one, no pun intended

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! ARE YOU SERIOUSLY JUST RETARTED OR STUPID?! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK A SLIDE CARB DOES?! THE EXACT SAME THING AS A SHOTGUN CARB!!! THEY BOTH CLEAR THE CHAMBER AND NEITHER ARE HARD TO USE UNLESS YOURE RETARTED! i dont think i can hate anyone as much as i hate you right now...

[LordSmaug]

Yeah maan^ What are you thinking? Carbs are wayy WAY more relaxed than any slide. Carbs are easier to use, and they don't shoot the smoke into your throat unless the carb is as big around as a 50 cent piece. Slides kick your ass every time, gauranteed. As soon as you pull that thing out the smoke blows straight into your lungs.

[animalchin]

get a glass on glass roor and tell me how great that smoke feels rushing up. carb is only good for small plastic bongs that you and your friends hit in a car. but in a house you need a slide brotha.

Chill the fuck out man.

cheese can't even spell retarded right. OHHHHHHHH the irony!

[Dutch Masta]

Carb > Slide.

[suhl]

i dont really have a preference and have never used a bong with a carb but it stands to reason youll get a bigger rush of air with the slide. with the carb you let air in but you also cant help but let some smoke in unless you breath really softly whereas with a slide you a pulling out the weed and guarenteeing it is only air.

[OzzyOz]

i have yet to hit a roor
i want to hit one so bad... i hear there amazing

i've smoked out of a $100 glass bong with a slide, that was pretty sick...

you can get such good rips out of a glass bong, so enjoyable

[IllusionalFate]

Well, after almost 3 months (haha), I'm finally going to get one. I've been looking at the bongs on www.fatlgasspipes.com and a few ROOR ones too.

http://www.everyonedoesit.co.uk/online_headshop/productCategory.cfm?sC=Roor_Bongs&iProductCategoryID=313&iLastCatID=312
These are the ROORS I've been looking at. They're expensive as fuck but are they worth it? They look incredible. That site says that they're made from Borosilicate glass, which I have never heard of before. Is it better than pyrex?

Another question is, has anyone ordered from www.fatglasspipes.com before? Just asking because I'd prefer to take as little risk as possible to not have my money go to waste.

[DragonForce1]

No, NOW your finally getting it, september 26th.
