Since I lived with my parents in high school and they didn't accept me smoking the only thing I was every able to keep was a pipe. In my dorm room at college I didn't want to risk being caught by my RA with a bong or vap so I also had a pipe. I'm living in a frat house this year, so I will be buying a nice bong and a vap when i get enough money, but right now joints and pipes are my favorites.
