i smoke bubblers pretty regularly (the ones in my avatar), and they do get better high / weed smoked than a pipe. but don't understimate the power of a j. with a joint you don't lose any THC gettin stuck to the side of the piece, which i think could be why the test showed that water filters out thc. I have read that study over a couple times. Never understimate a joint. most of the THC gets into your lungs, because all that gets stuck on something on the way to your mouth (like on other weed, or the sides of the paper) gets burnt up eventually. why do you thing the roach is so potent?

and now my high assed discussion on bubblers

Why do i need one?

The problem with bongs is that they are too big and fragile to transport, or take to a session. Also, it is hell trying to get a bong bowl to last through an even medium sized circle. To a lot of my friends, a session means packing a few pipe bowls. but honestly, fuck pipes! those feel like shit on your throat. It is only an extra 20-30 dollars from a decent pipe to a good bubbler. they smoke great as a session piece or a personal piece, plus everyone will be thankful somebody has a good piece. so next time somebody asks, what are we smokin out of? Justins pipe again? you can whip out a badass piece and get everyone higher

So which one to get?

don't get a shitty bubbler. trust me, you will know if it's quality or not. if you can look through the carb and look at the bowl. Do you like the shape of the pinch after the bowl? Does the downstem reach all the way to the bottom of the water chamber? (a good thing, it should just be slightly away from the bottom, not close enough to impede the flow of smoke). Suck a few practice hits through it, it should rip pretty good, but that's up to you. make sure you spend a decent ammount of money on it, otherwise you're better off just saving your money. I bought a 40$ dollar bubbler, my first piece, because it was the cheapest bubbler at the place. IT SUCKED!! may as well have been a pipe. Next piece i spent 70$ on a bubbler and got that sherlock. it hits great, and gets me ripped. Next i spent 160$ on that double bubbler, and it gets me way more stoned then the average bong. plus it's portable, although i try to keep it at my house when possible.
