so when the smoke goes through the water, some of the useless smoke just stays in the water, but because THC is not water soluble, the THC just rises into the chamber unaffected by the water, and builds up into a more potent smoke. anyone get what im saying?
That is my theroy, also the better the technology in the bong has a great deal to do with it. Such as all glass no rubber, metal, plastic; also how many types of filtration because also mixing alot of oxygen with your smoke is bad, where the stale hit comes from; This has to do with carb placement(A pull bowl is the cheapest and easiest form Which is why most high priced bongs have pull carb/rush); Also water is not the only thing used in bong technology, the Cyclone/Hericane bongs use water and very small oxygen vents in the neck to filter tar and it works iv seen the tar build up. Also ice is a form of tar filtration; difusers/ percolators also aid in mixing water with your smoke filtering more tar. One more thing a water fall bong is technicaly not a bong its a water pipe, like most gravity bongs. The definition for a bong is a smoking device in which the water helps to filter the smoke. A water pipe is a pipe in which water aids in its use, not its filtration.(theres a differance their not the samething) imp: This bong has all the cool features, check itimp: YouTube - weed The Mad Scientist
