Yeah, use a bong. I love them. I've made a few, and they work really well. One of them is made out a trophy [the tube part], with a small metal pen that works as a slider carb, that fits into a bigger clear pen that goes to the bottom. The bowl is just a socket, and when I want to toke a huge bowl, I just put a bigger socket onto the normal bowl. There's no duct tape at all, and it looks killer. So yeah, if you hate joints, and don't want to go out and buy a bong, just make one. It's really important though that the bowl isn't plastic or tin. Just to be safe I'm going to tell you to only use a socket.
