I made up a diagram on how the choke works. It's a cut-out view from the side, there are springs on the left that keep pressure on the mechanism keeping the rightside flush with the main part.

It's like a reverse choke, you press on it to open it. Hit hole, choke, shotgun... all the same. It works beautifully... get's nice think smoke inside then press the choke and wham! it's all in your lungs my friend.

Yeah, a bong has to smell like a bong man, if it's too clean then it just ain't the same. As nice as it sounds to have a minty bong (by cleaning with mouthwash) taking a hit and getting that menthol flavour ain't too fun.

About boiling your bongs to clean them... I don't like putting glass into boiling water, sure if you put the glass in before you start boiling it shouldn't crack, I still don't like doing it though. It's not really and issue with my random bottle bong, but with nice fancy glass ones that's risky (I don't own any said bongs).
Bauman Reviewed by Bauman on . Clean that bong. For starters, I don't scrape off the crap inside bongs and pipes, I find that disgusting. Maybe because I'm a lucky Canadian dude with easy access to herb that I can afford to not do so, but I do hold on to roaches and smoke them later... so I'm not wasteful. What actually disgusts me is the crap inside pipes. It makes pipes harsher and nasty, why would I want to smoke that? Why would I want to take my time scraping it off to save it and smoke, when I can clean it better and more Rating: 5
