i havent read any of the other post but heres my story... recently due to my brother being around and i dont wanna be a bad influence (hes suppose to be the good kid in the family) i didnt wanna carry a bong around hte house... so i started smoking joints and blunts occasionally a pipe... but now that hes gone again ive been doing some mean bong rips and thats when i noticed nothing gets me high like a bong... put some ice in there you can take even bigger rips...

so to me if losing a bit of thc in the water and the sides of the bong is a loss im willing to take just because its a better quality hit to me and just takes me to a different level
