Why use a gravity bong over a regular bong?

Discussion in 'Bongs, Dab Rigs, Bubblers, Water Pipes' started by Sc0pe, Apr 8, 2014.

  1. Ive been watching vids and people claim it gets them a better high but i dont see what would cause the smoke to be more potent simply because you suck it into a bottle before breathing it in

     
  2. I think the "get you higher" claim is sort of nonsense but it's just a lot easier to conserve bud because it's basically like a one hitter.
     
  3. I'd choose a bong over a GB Any day.
    way more enjoyable

    Who Dat!
     
  4. Kids believe that GBs get you higher because they aren't logical...

    Smoke out of a GB isn't filtered. Making it harsher. Making you cough and get light headed.

    I can say from experience gravity bongs get you higher, something about gravity vs your lungs milking a hit and all that,
    downsides to a gravity bong though is the much larger volume of water you need compared to a normal bong and the potential need to refill that water, the amount of smoke used (your for sure going to burn the whole bowl once the GB does its thing), most gravity bongs I used were homemade and needed like 3 hands to properly use so it wasnt a simple procedure like a bong which made regular use not as enjoyable as a bong, legit made ones probably dont have this issue but are still going to require you keep the bong set on a flat surface.
     
    Gravity bongs are sweet and imo get you higher but are much more a hassle to maintain and use; a gravity bong would make a nice addition to a collection but dont expect to use it as your main go to piece.
     
  6. GBs get me higher, probably cause I use a 1 gallon jug which is way bigger than any of my glass, so yeah it gets me higher but only cause I'm consuming more weed.  Though at this point, I've been smoking oil for the past 8 monthes or so pretty much exclusively so each dab is like doing a large GB hit without the harshness.
     
  7. Yeah like the other people have been saying, gravity bongs get you high really quick, and I believe a big ass Hawaiian punch jug full of smoke is cool as shit but I think gravity bongs are made for people who don't have a regular bong. From my experience they're messy as hell, you need a group of people to help you, you need water and buckets to keep refilling it and after each person gets about 2 hits in, you're trying to pour that water in and it's just going all over your hand and arm and the jug ends up being 1/4 full. But it does conserve weed really well.
     
  8. Half you guys are talking about a waterfall bongs, the gbongs I make are filtered as I use a downstem so mine are decently smooth, although I hate the taste of stale smoke so that is always an issue.
     
  9. GBs are amazing I was completely sober at my cousin's town house when me and my bro went to visit. And my bro hit the GB but it was my first time and I can tell you that night all I needed to get high as fuck was that one amazing rip from the GB! Usually it would take me two nice sized blunts to get a decent high.
     
  10. If you can take a big rip out of a regular bong there is no need for a gravity bong

  11. gravity bongs dont get u higher. they conserve weed and give more of a punch to the face when u hit bc theyre dry hits. If you dry hit a bong youll get even more of that punch

    All this "paraphernalia" is nice as toys, but there's nothing sweeter, nothing as pure and simple as using a clean, clear, borosylicate medical glass bong with no lights, bells or whistles...or even burning and sharing a simple joint rolled with decent papers, no blunts, no tobacco can be heavenly and old school...pure and simple. You get the innate sweetness of the herb without all the HooHaa and Fuss of perqs, catchers, stems, filters, etc, etc..believe me, I've used em all. Not worth the bother of buying them when all you really want is sweet herb and a great high. Keep it simple. Enjoy.
     
  14. I get higher from milking a bong vs GB
     
    My friends who don't smoke as much smoke GB's and they are as happy as I am
     
    and also it's kinda gross that every hit is stale before you hit from a GB
     
  15. I made one once and the cone piece was huge. About 5 times the size of a regular bowl. So yeah, it was alot stronger than a bong. But I don't think everyone makes big cone pieces

  16. I feel a little more of a buzz personally using a gravity. I think it depends on how slow you draw that hit.

    Here's my theory.

    The slower you draw doesn't necessarily mean a slower burn. So I think, depending on how fat you pack the bowl, and how slow you draw the hit, you will get more potency in that one hit. No matter how fat i pack my bowl, i can always burn it in one hit (drawing slower for fatter bowls) so more weed in one hit will always get you more high.
     
  17. I agree very much. However you do conserve a lot of bud by using a piece. I can get just as high off a few hits from a glass bong as i would a regular joint with 3x's the amount of weed.

    I WISH I had the cash to buy that amount of bud to just to smoke joints.... partly why i'm growing lol

    No, I totally agree with you. I use a very small glass bong...very simple and saves the herb. I am an organic grower (not, true for legal purposes.) and I couldn't finish even half a joint of the stuff I grow anyway. I'd be stupefied.
     
  19. I have been using a GB almost every day lately because I'm trying to conserve my stash. Also it is easy to smoke in the dorm with because it is a one hitter and no smoke escapes before I floof it. It definitely gets me higher with a lot less weed but I still prefer smoking with a pipe or bong. It's just a hassle and I don't like smoking out of plastic. It's nice for stoners on a budget though 😉

  20. A gravity bong for me is like a punch in the face stoned with one hit. A normal bong is like a nice slap. Both are good, Gravs are better for stealth smokers and broke smokers to.
