hierarchy of smoking devices?

[pixel]

can someone who actually knows the answer please explain why certain devices are better than others for smoking weed? i mean theoretically it's all just marijuana smoke going in and out of your lungs, what makes a certain device get one "SO STONED" vs. a device getting one "kinda high" or not high at all.

i dont deny that it's true because i notice that i get shorter and less intense highs off of my bowl compared to my bong, and i use less weed in the process too... but what makes it that way is what i don't understand

well bongs clean the smoke in the water before entering your lungs and with bowls your inhaling all the other stuff thats in weed, so the cleaned smoke gives you more of a real high off THC instead of the cloudyness of a bowl that all the other stuff in weed gives you..

As a total guess its probably something to do with the differenences in air flow over the burning bit and I guess this is related to differences in burning temperature. Scientist should study these things god dammit.

Its all about pull, airtightness, and the concentration of the smoke, a bong condenses the smoke as well as cools it, so you can take a bigger hit and get more at a time, while a pipe produces hot harsh smoke that gives you all the carcinogens, a bong avoids, and leaves you with a more foggy headed high.

this is what i have concluded from my own experiences and what others have told me.

I to use to wonder why a bong is just so much better than a pipe.

maybe when you argued with me about holding smoke you wernt thinking about this, a bong allows you to hold your smoke for a bit and i know it takes longer than 5 secounds to absorb a bong rip. now if i set a timmer and took a deep breath and let it out after 5 secounds and held my breath then did same thing set timmer took big breath and held it 18 secounds i bet you would be way easyer to pass up 1st time. your body is able to retain and circulate more oxygen the 2ed time. This would apply to all chemcles. Why do people Hotbox because all the smoke you blow out has no THC? No. Your body will absorb more of the THC and high will last longer. Bongs and vaperizors own. :smokin:

what about vaporizers huh?

[Krogith]

i have only use 1 vaporizer shes my baby i got a volocano, this is one of the best you put your shit in a pice that conected to a big plastic bag fills up like a hot air baloon with just melted THC vapor no burnt carbon, fucking nice as shit:smokin:

well vaporizers arent really part of the hierarchy of smoking, as you do not smoke anything with it, the whole reason there good is because it doesnt burn the weed, but vapourizes the THC and a few other cannaboids. From my experiences the high quality ones give a fantastic high and conserve weed quite a bit.

Really? Cool! Never smoked out of one yet, but that day may come...

Vaporizer----Convection \
----True, they aren't smoking devices, they are still the absolute best
Vaporizer----Conduction /

Bong

Bubbler

Lung

Gravity Bong <<<<<These three are actually the same device.
The Lung is up higher because it's most
Convenient
Waterfall

Joint (ties with Gravity Bong family)

Steamroller

Pipe



I have a question, do you get thicker smoke by pulling fast or pulling slow?
