Yes, bongs allow you to get the most THC, more than pipes or joints. Imo, bongs > any other smoking method (although I haven't tried a hookah or knife hits or a vaporizer).

I love bongs bc they cool down the smoke and allow me to take in more smoke. Plus you can see the amount of smoke in the chamber before you inhale it, so you have full control over how much you wanna inhale.

I couldn't figure out how to make an ice bong (plus I'm too lazy), so instead of that, I just bought a mini ice cube tray and always put lots of mini ice cubes in my bong, along with some icy cold water. This seems to further cool down the smoke, making it even easier on your throat and lungs. Plus the first cold hit is always fun.
