yea if ur bout to cop a half or an o then i would just buy a bong.i use a metal pipe personally, just because i really have to conserve on weed, besides weekends, i have to make a 20 sack last me a week and my pipe works really great. i have a small glass bowl too but i actually use my oter one more just to save on weed tho i definately prefer glass to metal otherwise.

Me and my cuzin always smoke from this hard plastic Graffix bong, and it is amazing the hits get from this thing. it didnt cost that much either like 30-40 dollars so i would invest in a bong if i were you

oh yea and for j's i use the normal zig-zags mostly, but the best are the really thin zig-zags, the ones that have the word zig-zag print in fancy letters on the paper, they look cool as fuck.
