Bong or Bubbler?

xsmallheartx · #1 (**permalink**) 10-22-2009, 08:50 AM

Hi,

I am relatively new to smoking and am considering purchasing a good smoking device (kinda getting sick of a bottle)

I was thinking of getting a bubbler first because of its portability / easy to hide. But I've been told they are pretty harsh due to the small amount of water used to cool the smoke. And since I am pretty new to smoking and want to use it as a main piece (for now until I purchase a good bong) I am not sure.

I was thinking of getting Fumed sidecar bubbler - Dutch - Grasscity.com for a bubbler

or

the molino mad scientist v2 (out of stock)

or 2000 Ice - Magic Glass Bong - Dutch - Grasscity.com

and finally for an in between Colored Bubbler - Dutch - Grasscity.com

Thanks

Go for the bubbler, i used to have a bong and a sidecare before i got rid of them and always had fun with the bubbler. Sidecars also have a very nice fit in your hand and get the job done if they have the shotgun like carb placement. Tho they are a bitch to clean and fill with water/empty but same can be said for all bubblers.

if those are your choices, then that sidecar bubbler is sick, i'd go with that.

depends on your situation. if you need something portable...bubbler.

if you have your own place, where you can relax and toke, id go with a tube.

i dont think bubblers are any more harsh than a bong. In fact id be more worried about not being able to clear a bong than the smoke being too harsh from a bubbler.
I say get a bubbler. Ive owned three bubblers, and they have always been my favorite pieces. But if you get a bong, then id suggest an EHLE from edit.

and, i think that spending 125$ on a bubbler is kind of pointless when you get the same functionality out of the cheaper ones that are less artsy. esepccially if its your first piece.

just my opinion though. i bought the one from gC that s 47$ as my first real piece...and its served its purpose very well. once you buy one piece of glass, youll want another. warning you of that too.

Thanks all, I am pretty sure I will purchase the sidecar. The portability is really handy since I live at home, I'll post some pics when it comes.

Thanks for the advice

Holy shit @ the sidecar..I think I might buy that too haha

that thing is sweet dude, go with the sidecar hands down. you can always pick up a decent no-name bong at a local headshop or what not

Yeah, I love the design. I figured, if I am going to get something I may aswell get a good piece that I will be able to enjoy for a long time. Shipping will take awhile, I can't wait.

I would dish out some more money and buy an EHLE bong from EDIT. They are great quality.

Will PM you link to EDIT.

Just to let you guys know I have ordered the sidecar bubbler (a week ago) and it is currently in pre-shipping, should arrive here in 2 or so weeks.
