Once you go bong, you can't go back. There's just so many good things about it. The hits are cleaner and less harsh yet they get you much higher. It conserves weed, and you don't get that burnt weed taste you get with joints.

Plus, it's just so cool to watch your smoke build up in your bong, and watch the smoke as you inhale it. You can really monitor and regulate your hits this way too. If you use a bong, I recommend filling it with lots of ice. Icy hits are always fun.

The only possible drawback to bongs is that it's not very portable. Although I have brought my (sorta small) 1 footer everywhere with me before.
