How to smoke from a bong? ...Confused

I know i might sound like a dumbass but how do you smoke from a bong?! Ive been dying to find out. I get the main princaples like you light it from the bowl but how does the smoke travel from the bowl to the chamber with water? Do you inhale and the smoke will enter the chamber or what because the other part of the bowl piece is submerged under water so inhaling wouldnt do anything. Im just confused...any help would really be appreciated since i have yet to smoke from a water bong. And also...whats a carb and a slide or slider?

ok dude u light the bowl. breathe in as hard as u can. youll here the bubblin sound because the smoke goes through the water. then when you feel like u cant take any more smoke, take the carb out, which is basicaly the bowl piece, and clear the bong.

and by clear the bong he means breathe in extra hard with that lasttttt breath and the remaining smoke in the chamber and such will fly into your lungs. getting you really high! :stoned:
Happy toking! :thumbsup:

it works like this i believe...when you seal off the chamber with your mouth and inhale, it creates a vacuum inside the bong and in order to equalize the pressure, air is forced from the outside, causing the flame to be sucked onto the weed, which produces the smoke, which is then sucked through the bowl, into the chamber, it bubbles up from under the water, the bubbles pop and out comes cool, smooth smoke, straight into your lungs.

okay so i just basically light the bowl piece and the smoke will automatically go to the water? Or do I have to light and suck at the same time for the smoke to get to the water?

oh alright blue i think you cleared it up for me. Thanks alot guys. :)

You have to suck in for the air to pass through, & with a lighter above the weed, itll light the weed on the way.
basically you're sucking in the whole time.

wow. maybe you shouldn't be smoking pot.
