great guide appreciate it buddy

also gotta agree with some of the other posters, slider definitely beats carb, but hey, i'm not one to be fussy when it comes to weed :P

thats my bong. the mouth peice and base are metal.

simple, cheap, good hitter.
i had glass ones too but theyve all met their maker.

i got a 1-footer thats glass on glass and has an icecube catcher, and i still love it even a year later, has a percise rip that leaves you satisfied............... so i would suggest a glass on glass bro.

just go 2 some local shops and pick the one thats suits you.

sounds like you may have a similar problem to me, in that you are in need of a longer downpipe. pop to your local head shop and purchase one, possibly a little longer than you acctually need. then you can "tune" the bong to how you like.

i am in the process of doing someting similar myself. got this orange acrylic job. made the neewbie mistake when i got it not to get the down pipe changed. it's quite a large bong, maybe 24" tall. i've smoked thru it once so far, the carb hole was too small so it has been largened. and it needs a longer downpipe, which i was on my way into town to get when i got diverted by bud! lol.

oh well there's always tomorrow, and i still have my homemade

peace, faith and patience

I'm not sure what you mean by the "2 bubble things at the bottom"

If it's not bubbling at all, you might just not have enough water in it.

How far is the water line above the stem?
Having too much water in is going to make it drag more rather than not bubble, so I wouldn't think that's the problem.

If I were you, I'd just try adding more water until it feels right. If you can't get a good amount of water in without it splashing your mouth or messing with the carb, then yeah you might not have a long enough stem.

It might take some time, but you'll eventually get a good hang of where the water should be and how the pull should feel.

more water or a longer downstem.

longer downstem has sorted my problem. cost £1.75 from my local headshop. now i have no problems with too little filtration from too little water, bubble lovely.

i'd love to get some glass tho

sumskateborder · #57 (**permalink**) 07-09-2009, 07:51 PM

so I went up to the local headshop and I'm planning on buying this bong as my first one (blue one in the middle). I'll probably sound stupid for asking this, but do I need to buy a slider or a bowl or whatever to put in this?

rubbs · #58 (**permalink**) 07-09-2009, 07:53 PM

there is already a slider in that water pipe.

but it looks like a cheap one and it will break eventually.

sumskateborder · #59 (**permalink**) 07-09-2009, 07:57 PM

so it would be better if I bought a better one?

So, Weedit, I would just like to thank you. You made me comfortable with the anxiety that once came along with using marijuana. It is now something I am greatly thankful to be able to do, and I have immersed myself in the culture. : Marijuana	This thread	Refback	09-18-2009 09:25 PM
