The bong no good and waste of money.......EROWID facts

[Jimi001]

I wouldn't consider a 1995 study very accurate.

Two things to say:

Hot Water in a bong cleans the shit out better than Cold, as well as conserves crystals.

And a pipe traditionally smoked is the worst way to smoke. Period. If you want to talk about the best forms of smoking, you first must accept to never use a lighter again; matches contain almost zero carcinogens vs. the butane-buzz most people associate with bad-weed (headaches towards the end of the day? Try not dowsing your herb in fluid as you hold that lighter). And pipes require lighting over and over and over. I take bong-rips with matches. Nothing beats it but a magnifiying glass and a sunny day.

For the same effects, a person may have to smoke more...thus raising particulate matter back to a level equal to that inhaled from unfiltered sources (joint or pipe)."

This tells me that bongs are a waste of money and are only good for taking less harsh of hits if you have to money to spend on more weed.........

Yeaaaa try saying that after taking a huge rip from my bong. Trust me, my bong will get you destroyed. And even if this is true, that still doesn't take away that my bong hits like a truck, gets you blazed with less weed.

BY GEORGE I think he's got it!

i've taken to using a "butane torch" that adapts to regular fullsized lighters for fuel.. much more efficent burn, no new tastes added in and it burns super hot so the smoke flows quicker.

I have yet to purchase any sort of vape stuff, though Ars Mori almost got me talked into a heatgun set up

[Ars moriendi]

invest in the setup dude

you got the bong all you really need is the heatgun and anything like the few pointed out in the vriptech manual will do ya (70-220usd depending on features)

almost all thermocoupled heatguns come with a reduction nozzle by default as it's the base for add-on tips and said nozzle will fit just about any bowl (pipe cutter will solve fit issues)

I'd go with a vape bowl tho but in either case you stand to spend 70+ for the heatgun and 30-50 for a vap bowl dependin' on your gong/slide setup

said setup will net you gobs of vapor honey (bout a marble sized ball per o of nug) which revapes a good 100 times over saving even more

lol I've given up smoking and outta all the vaps bong + bowl + heatgun is the least trouble with easy cleaning/collection of vapor resin 'n total particle filtration

i don't care what any study says bongs r the best thing to happen to pot since well pot bottom line i lov bongs and if u don't like then o well more 4 me

Wow...That's the exact same stance the government uses keeping cannabis illegal.

And unless the technology has changed drastically since 1995 (it hasn't to my knowledge), doesn't really matter what year a study is done in.

There are some great studies showing the usefulness of cannabis that were done in the last century...and the one before that. Should we let everybody dismiss those too, just because of their age?

This is old news, and yes a bong does rip you to shreds compared to pipes or joints.

[floridaguy19]

Well there's two facts here. Some THC IS lost when hitting a bong... but everyone here can say it's not a largely noticeable amount.

Now the other, obvious fact. Look at your bong after a nice session with it, how does it look? Simply put, all that crap you see in the bong would be in your lungs.

So I'll stick with the bong over the joint / pipe anyday, because logic can justify my action. But vaporizers > all

[General Blaze]

bongs > every other way on gods green earth.


blunts are fun but they def waste some weed.

[Leif]

Bongs are the shit, dude. I don't care what that survey says.
