water bongs give you a higher ratio of harmful chemicals/THC then other conventional methods of smoking, water bongs cleaning the 'smoke' is a very common mis-conception.


as for the original question, i'm sure it has something to do with how much/how thick the peice being used produces it's smoke. i'm not exactly sure why or how, perhaps (as i recently heard in the 'don't hold the smoke' thread, the thc is pretty much absorbed instantly) it's becuase the said peice produces alot more smoke, in which you lungs absorb more THC. for instance, i get alot high off my bong then my pipe, but i also get alot higher air/smoke ratio in my pipe, then in my bong, even if using the same ammount of weed.
