Carb Bongs SUCK

NEVER BUY A CARB BONG, they blow compared to slide bongs. I was ripped with a whole lot of money at the beginning of this summer and one day I went in and literally grabbed an acrylic bong and brought it up to the counter to buy it. it was only 20 bucks and was close to 2ft (bout 1.8feet) when i got home i took it out and noticed it was a carb bong. iwas pissed but not really, cause i had never tried one.

its now almost august and ive had it for a few moths, so i speak from experience when i say NEVER EVER EVER buy a bong without a slide. they are annoying as fuck, you never get a good hit off of them, and they are nearly impossible to fully clear so you get stale smoke on every hit.. (at least for mine)

NEVER BUY A CARB BONG!!! I dont think I have to say it to you guys but just in case there are some newbies out there lookin for a bong NEVER EVER BUY A CARB BONG i speak from experience and wasted weed

lol i never planned on it. I've always wondered why someone would buy a carb bong. It seems like a slide bong works so much better.

And according to you i was right.

so very very right indeed

having a slide bong is like getting the muhammad ali of hits, while a a carb is like having Buster Douglas tap at yer lungs.

I prefer slide bongs, but only with carb bongs if you tip em accidentally you get a lap full of bong water.

whats the difference between the two?

A slide bong is where you can pull the bowl out and clear it, where a carb bong has a carb hole on it and the bowl and stem are attached, so it is not as easy to clear

why don't u just put a hole above the water line, that way you can just cover it with ur thum and then clear the bowl

if its acrylic then it will be a peice of piss, either use a red hot poker or a drill really slowly and carefully

peice a piss

peace and progress

its practically impossible to clear unless you plan on sucking down the whole bong load in one hit.

I use carb bongs

But, I use the ones i make out of gatorade bottles. They work great with some clay or hot glue, and I don't know why, I just never feel like having to take the tinny off the end.

Maybe the next one I make I won't be so quick to shank it with a knife.

boo carbs.

You get what you pay for.

I hate carb bongs. But if your a REAL bong hitter you don't need either. Just the lungs to pull the bowl right through and clear the chamber, all in one hit.

WARNING: Do not attempt the above with a fully packed bowl, yields unwanted (or wanted) level of highs. If you still choose to do so, make sure you have the herb holders consent. haha

they dont suc that bad , when u make homemade shit a carb is prob ur best bet but as far as buying one def a slide

id have to agree , the homemade im using now has a carb on it and it blows me away to each his own i guess

this doesnt have anything to do with homemades, gatorade bottles are technically not Bongs, im talkingabout bongs you buy at a headshop. homemade is offtopic

my bubbler has a carb...i also got a slider bong

I have a carb bong and I love it, my buddys has a slide and he always breaks the slide.

my friends bong which has a carb gives massive hits and is really easy to clear, but if you tip it the wrong way lap full of bong water which sucks

AMEN brother. SLides are like infinite times better. lol

I've only had a foot-tall bubbler, as far as bongs go (i know small bubblers are not really bongs) and that had a carb on it, and for the size it worked totally well

but recently iv been into bongs w/ sliders... i dunno, it's more interactive lol

Meh, to each is own, I use a carb bong because thats all I have, but I have used slide bongs as well. I really don't prefer one over the other, and I can deal with each. But with a carb I make little whirlwinds when I draw, and when I let go of the carb I take a fat ass draw to clear the smoke and bring in new smoke, and let go of the carb. REPEAT AS NEEDED lol but with a slide its alot easier, and no fucking laps of water to worry about either.

Bongs with a carb have to have it placed in a correct area for the peice and that is hardly ever done. Which is why a slide is usualy the best way to go, and glass on glass is the only way to go.

The only time I used a bong with a carb was when I bought a bong that looked really cool, but in reality it was a total piece of crap. It was a plastic double chambered bong, I thought it looked cool with all the tubes n stuff, plus it had a neat green color....but the thing really sucked...

I'm guessing any decent bong maker will make it as a slider, and the only bongs with carbs are the cheap crappy ones, (cheap as in quality that is).

I just got a new bong a couple weeks ago, nice little glass bong with a slider of course, and I love it :D Easily clear the bong with every hit...just cant do that with a tiny little carb hole

So, why is it that carbs suck? I have 2 bongs right now and both of them are slides not carbs. Most of my friends that smoke all have glass on glass bongs with slides too. I have hit plenty of bowls and bubblers with a carb, but the only carb bong i have ever hit was a 4 foot acrylic. i hate acrylic bongs and a 4 foot hit is pretty intense, so that isn't a good hit to judge by. is it just the size of the hole that makes it hard to hit?
this is the reason i ask :
GrassCity.Com - Molino Glass Bong Large - with Clear Glass Precooler

if that wasn't a carb, i would buy it right this second. i have a bubble bottom and beaker bottom that are slides as i said, but i want a straight tube. that is 4.2 mm thick, 45cm/17.7in tall, glass on glass (pyrex), with an ashcatcher, and ice catchers. for $85.00. that seems like a sick deal to me.

would i be really let down if i am used to a slide?

just me mabe, but i cant seem to goto the 2nd page....mabe just because im high :stoned:

*edit* there wasnt a 2nd page haha was a weird bug tho :jointsmile:

yeh its a piece of piss

ive always used a "carb" bong, the ones that have the screw on cone/bowl, they work for me! i get a lovely hit from my 2 foot acrylic bong. just make sure you have a poker ready to help the spent bud go down, and use the shotgun (the little hole about the water line)

haha i was really stoned and every time i tried to click page 2, page 1 loaded as if page 2 didn't exist. that was an hour or two ago, when i posted that question, but now it is fine. if there wasn't a page 2 why did it have link to page 2?:stoned:

My bubbler has a carb and it hits great, when it's clean. Slides are kool.

bubblers with carbs hit well because there isnt as much area to clear, with a 2 foot bong theres a significantly greater amount of smoke in the chamber that you have to clear. Also with a carb if u suck hard enough it will still pull smoke in

what? they are both a hole,and when you pull the bowl out,its prolly gonna be hot,so i prefer carbs,i made my bong (a very nice home-made one) without a carb,then i didnt like holding the bowl,so i drilled a carb,and it works just as good.imho carbs are just as good if not better than slides.

but each unto his own. blaze on. :jointsmile:

slides generally have a handle onto which you can hold instead of burning your fingers, another reason why slides are better is that you dont always have to use both hands while if you have a carb you need one hand to cover the carb and one to light the ganj.

I have a shitty pink acrylic bong with a carb, as others have posted the damn thing just can't be fully cleared for some reason.

I have a dual chambered bong with a carb, and I have never had a problem clearing it.

Slides break so damn easily, and the glass ones cost so damn much money to replace. The only remotely nice thing about a slide imo is that I can bring the bowl to the weed and not spill it alot easier.

I don't have any problems using a carb.. big hits that don't clear at once can be cured by not lighting the herb as long or touching as much with the flame in either.. Course mine's only like 8 inches long, so like one poster said previously, it's easy to just keep going until the bowl is gone.

As for that "page 2" bug, I've had that happen 4-5 times here in the last couple days.

That is a slide bong. Maybe the ice catch looks like a carb or something, but that's a slide.

"This Molino diamond cut bong features a hexagonal base and ice notches. The bong consists of a cylinder with a carb-hole. The main cylinder is made over very thick Pyrex glass, 4.2 mm thick."

i disagree i have used a very welll carb bong but then again it was very narrow you cant get a big bong with a carb just wont work
