I MADE A GRAVITY BONG BONG

[hipEstoner]

i did a litle experiment havent tried it yet but u can see it, any use?????????????
any input appreciated.

i made something like that,, but you have to have a downstem going into the water and it will work,,, if you get a plastic soap dispenser bottle just take the pushy thing off and youll already have a plastic downstem!!!

Damn. That's pretty ingenious. So it draws the smoke down the tube and bubbles up into the 2 ltr. bottle. I can't say I've ever seen that on a gravity bong. I'm sure its been done but that's a first for me. Very cool, will have to try it.

yhea man,, it works just as good if not better than a regular one

Ok, cool idea... here are my concerns with it.

1. Despite popular opinion, water bongs DO NOT work for filtering hits. The long and short of the argument is, that the water pulls more thc out of the smoke than other nasty stuff, so while per unit of smoke there is less nasty stuff, there is also less thc which means you need to smoke more, which means you are actually putting MORE nasties into your lungs than conventional methods.

2. The other main reason (aside from the fact that they are cool as hell) that people use bongs is to cool the hit, so it goes down easier. However, I've never had an issues with water bongs hits being too hot. If they are, just wait a second or two before actually taking it in.

So basically in conclusion, cool idea, glad it worked, but I'm not seeing the point? If you got stoned thats the important part, but if you were trying to improve on the water bong, I think you may have missed.

Only thing about yours thats off is in the drawing you simply say inhale. Remember to push down on the bottle, pushing the smoke into your lungs as you inhale.

lol,, they dont work for filtering hits???,, i'd like to see someone say that they've had ash fly into their moouth after taking a bong hit,,,,, oh and by the way,, thc is'nt water soluable so it does'nt take any thc out of the smoke,,,,,they dont put more nasties into your lungs,, what do you think all the black water is??and bong hit to bowl hit,, probably everyone would rather have a bong hit cuz bongs get u higher

Read that, if your too lazy here are some key parts. BTW these were pulled from studies done by The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) and The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML).

"We learned early on that waterpipes don't help filter out undesirable particulate matter, although waterpipes may help reduce certain water-soluble gases." ...

..."Contrary to popular impression, waterpipes don't necessarily protect smokers from harmful tars in marijuana smoke, according to a new study sponsored by MAPS and California NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws). The reason is that waterpipes filter out more psychoactive THC than they do other tars, thereby requiring users to smoke more to reach their desired effect. The study does not rule out the possibility that waterpipes could have other benefits, such as filtering out gases, but it suggests that other methods, such as the use of high potency marijuana, vaporizers, or oral ingestion are needed to avoid harmful toxins in marijuana smoke."

I'll agree I've never gotten ash in my mouth, and I would MUCH rather take a hit from a bong than a pipe, but science doesn't lie man. Talking about airborne nasties, not just heat, and the once in a while ash (which if you are skilled won't happen, thats not a bust I'm just saying...)

I mean no disrespect, I'm just trying to keep people informed.

if that were the case then everybody would be drinking their bong water but nobody's doing thet are they?

Dude, bong water is gross thc or no. Basically all this is saying is there is a ratio a/b of thc/bad stuff of smoke that does not go through water filtration. Then there is a ratio c/d of thc/bad stuff to smoke that DOES go through filtration. And... a/b is greater than c/d. Therefore, its less healthy/efficient to smoke from a bong. That of coarse won't stop me from smoking from a bong, I'm just saying, combining water bong and grav bong seems to make not as much sense as each one idividually. They are both great ways to smoke, and I'm not sure combining them makes it any greater.
