After Smoking Out Of A Bong...

[IllusionalFate]

... I just don't want to smoke out of ANYTHING else. The first time I smoked weed was with a bong, and I didn't appreciate how amazing they were since it was my first time, but last night I toked up with a few friends that had a bong, and I feel like just throwing my nice little chillum/one-hitter out the window.

It feels like using anything else is just a complete waste of herb. Inhaling and watching the thick white smoke come up through the tube while the water is making the awesome bubbling noise is just too cool of an experience to settle for anything else. I only had 3 good hits and I was baked.

Anyone else here have an obsession with bongs? After my experience, I refuse to smoke out of anything else, besides a bubbler.

BTW, are there any bongs that don't use sliders? If there are, what are the advantages/disadvantages of each type?

Bongs that don't use sliders use a carb. A little hole in the back that you put your finger over to gather smoke into the bong, and then release it to go into your mouth. I like sliders better, you can get custom bowls and better downstems. Plus, most really expensive (and reeeally nice) bongs use sliders.

It's like a car. You can get an automatic or a manual transmission. Automatic's are easier, but manuals are cooler, and all of the best cars have manual transmissions.

^^^ totally agree

and, if you are going to spend money on a bong, you might as well make it a nice one, that way you dont have to upgrade :P

Bongs that don't use sliders use a carb.

Yeah, that's what I thought, but when I was looking at online headshops I couldn't even find one bong that had a carb. Thanks for the help, now I won't even bother with the non-slider ones.

When I was searching for bongs, I came across this one:http://fatglasspipes.com/UpRights/So...rs_upright.jpg

It's absolutely beautiful, and is 16-17" tall. The website (http://www.fatglasspipes.com/UpRights/Store.htm), says that it's a "2 stage Peculator", and features double filtration. What does this peculator do? Will it be hard to clean? (Also says "Includes Slider + peculator installation and removal tool")

Perculators are basically a form of double-filtration. I know some bongs have perculators that don't come out, but the whole magic glass line does.

I use a ROOR. Every ROOR looks the exact same, and it's a big company, which are both downers in my opinion. However, with a diffuser and a custom bowl, I've never had a bong that got me higher with less weed. It cost me about 300 overall (I bought a lot of cleaning equipment and a bag, too) but it's probably saved me twice that in weed. Plus, it's really hard to break. Trust me, I almost broke a glass table with it.

P.S. Ice catchers are the shiznit. You heard me.

i stick with my bubbler. im new to weed so im vowing never to buy a bong, and never have mroe then 2 pieces. (this is so i make sure i never go in too deep, i think) In total i have one pipe, and have had 2 bubblers, but smashed the first one a few days ago (was not great quality, been taped together but still hit ok cost $40) because i got a new bubbler $70.
