I dont know about you but extenguishing a blunt is rather easy i often times smoke on a blunt put it out then pick it up again later. But you are right that thc is not water soluable.

it's the fact that there aren't any hard cases where one method disproves the other. if you want to smoke a j, fine. same goes for vaping, bongs, bowls, etc. there's this whole mystery around marijuana, it's users, etc. which is why we all prefer different methods. we all wanna crack the code, but like infiniteawesome said, in the end we all just say "fuck it" and go for our own personal preference.

to quote dirtybongwater..

"moot".

So some say its the water taking out some THC? Well then why is it my bong that holds about 1.5 cups of water gets me ripped, and my friends hookah which is like 2 liters of water makes me retarted

if you don't factor in vapping

the top dog is a steamroller with a zigzag of stuck together rolling papers making it impossible for ash to hit you

try ripping one like a bong..hold it hold it...tick tock toke...exhale cough till you realize you're stoned senseless

I never get that wasted off gbongs or bongs so dry pieces win

Bongs are very good but certainly a huge waste of money. Bongs are so overpriced, even if you smoke 345 times daily, headshops are a rip off.

Depends where you go, my red 17 inch (roughly?) bong was only $37 bucks. A whopping $2 bucks more than my bubbler. Don't knock bongs just cause you ain't got a cheap headshop!

most of you guys are pretty hostile for a bunch of stoners. i mean, its kinda wrong to flame a guy for stating some facts, specially when all he's trying to do is spread some insight. yea, i smoke bongs, and i love em too. but the fact is that inch for inch and pound for pound the most simple device will get you the most buzz for your bud. (ie spoon, steam roller) personally i experience this truth in my own smoking routine. recently i got my hands on a larger glass bong and i have noticed that im smoking more weed more often. and shit, i swear that my smaller bong was getting me more stoned than the large one. its one thing to flame someone for having a different opinion than your own, but to hate on someone that is spreading some good info with a great source is just wrong. go do your homework kids.

....another factor people dont consider is the quantity of pot we each smoke. someone that smokes a half ounce a week is gonna have a way better idea of the better smoking method than someone consuming an 1/8th a week

Actually having a lower tolerance, you might find it actually easier to tell wich method would allow more thc intake. just my 2 cents. i smoke on average about a half ounce a week, tho this week ive smoked close to an ounce in 5 days.... i need to cut back haha

i disagree. having a low tolerance means anything will get you high. dont matter what it is, you get ripped. i dont think the people that will pass on the bong after the second hit are going to have a good idea of what gives you the most high for your bud. besides, this point is moot becuase this topic was posted under "seasoned tokers" ....

naw you actually notice the finer details of strains n doses after a break imho

the dose isn't the issue its how much of the dose actually takes and how much dopamine/ect you got floating around to support the high

less naturally made chems from over toking means you're not as detailed as a light weight

in other words its like comparing a 32kb mp3 file to a 128

my opinion is based on the fact that a seasoned smoker has a much higher tolerance than a non-seasoned or casual smoker. its gonna be hard if not impossible for the newbie smoker to pick up the slight differences in strains and the high each one produces let alone the "science" behind their paraphernalia. i dont understand how you can think that the guy with less experience is gonna be a better judge.... i would personally laugh at anyone who tried to tell me about how to achieve the best high when they take two hits and are spinning.

... also, im assuming the only way to gain "experience" is to actually smoke. and the only way to evaluate something properly is to have "experience".

^ can you live without food? can a fire burn without oxygen?

you're high tolerance ass HAS LESS OF THE SHIT THAT POT HELPS RELEASE

lol you're getting zero effect if you're tapped just like someone drained of serotonin just feels tweaked on mdma

your idea of quality or method is skewed by this lack

[bassist1217]

THC isn't water-soluble, so it passes right through the water and isn't affected. the water cools the smoke, making it denser. you get a harder hit, especially if you have an ice chamber. also, the water filters out a lot of tar and other carcinogens that you get from smoking a regular bowl, joint, or blunt. good try, though. i give you a B- for your effort.

and in my years of experience i noticed i would much rather take bong shacks then smoke my pipe if im trying to get high...
