Hard or soft bong water?

[ATrain]

I acknowledge that this is a small issue so don't jump all over me for focusing on such a slight detail.

My question is in regards to whether you fill your bong with hard or softened water. We have both, you are supposed to drink the hard water, but I fill my bong with the softened water. I haven't noticed any difference though.

Would this change anything at all or could this just be a pointless thread discussing various types of water? ;)

Soft water makes it easier to clean your piece, but I havent noticed any difference between bottled water, well water, distilled water, or river water as far as taste. Snow in the bong FTW!

i didnt know there is a difference but if i had a choice i guess it would be soft.

[slpntrx5]

what is soft and hard water? is hard like tap water and soft is filtered or something?

[EmoRebellion]

For health purposes it really doesnt make a differance as far as I can see. The soft water will keep your bong cleaner for sure.

Ive done that before, it tasted alright for the first few hits, then got nasty. It was a real pain in the ass to clean too. Ill stick with h2o thanks.

Avoid this unless you want to lose your mind trying to clean all that sticky sugar out of there.

I can't imagine it would taste too great either. The first would be, but then after that, it would taste like resin flavoured orange soda...eeeeew.

i would imagine distilled water, because the purer the H20, the more it would be able to absorb the smoke componets. ive used it, but didn't notice a difference

EWW just imagine taking a big swig of that. JUST IMAGINE. And not in the John Lennon way... no, no, this is much shittier then that.

i once got my foolish little pal to drink the bong orange soda

he said it wasnt bad

[Phunkytown]

never knew water can be hard/soft...

[bong_man]

i use whiskey :) def beats water!

[busteruk7]

personly i like my bong water hard , frozen in fact lol
i slap my homemade glass bong in the freezer untill the top layer is completly frozen then i heat up a screwdriver on the cooker and melt a little tidy hole for the tube to go in ,when toking on the bong the smoke travels thru the icey water and gets trapped under the top layer off ice cooling it down as the smoke builds up under the ice it will then escape thru the seems of the hole in the ice
its real smooth and cool on the throat an all round nice toke lol
cheers all :)

good question.. i prefer ice chips in the water. I like it to be just above freezing. (With high quality h20...thx Adam Sandler) Why not take it a step further...hemp flavored water or your favorite extract. We should demand more from our smoking, scotch drinkers get water to make ice from the distillery that made the hooch. so it wont effect the taste.
