first off it depends on your tolerance levels and how much u smoke

2nd it depends on what kind of bud u smoke

but speaking in general terms, u kinda get an extra buzz feeling added to your normal high all over your body and since the amount of 1 hit checmicals u can take in will be more concentrated THC than normal burning smoke hits, u will get more THC per hit thus feeling a more intense high...

kind of like a straight shot of some strong drink compared to slowly sipping it


if i had the dough, I would take a vaporizer any day over a bong, although bongs are aight as well. it gives a more intense high and it also IS healthier, to the least it gives u far less TAR in the lungs!

my edit on on your edit :P
i highly doubt bongs are healthier than blunts/joints in any significant way. only the smoke passes thru the water and makes it moister than usual and thus smoother on your throat but technically speaking the harmful components are still in there, mainly TAR
