  1. I'm pretty new to smoking so i dont know much and i recently bought my first bong. It is a glass slider and the cone piece/bowl on the downstem is huge and the hole rediculously big that i swear it cant possibly be made for smoking out of directly, what the phuck is the point of this thing and what am i meant to do to use it?

  2. I don't use these kinds of rigs,
    but it looks like a big ass bowl to me.. could be wrong..
    if your worried about suck thru id get a screen, preferably glass,
    or use a plug nug.
     
  3. Glass screens are your best bet.  (called glass gauze also)  Any metal screen will work as well.  Personally I would just take a small popcorn nug and toss it in and use that for the screen.
     
  4. don't use a metal screen
     
  5. If there's a shop around you, I'd try to find a cheap bowl with a built in glass screen.  It's easier than dealing with the screen falling out when you tap the ash out of the bowl.
     
    I think gauze is a UK term for it, I only see it on european sites.  
     
  6. Just a flaw in design man, your shop should have other sliders you can purchase if it's not working for you.

    Otherwise I'd say throw a plug nug in it mayne

  7. nah not a flaw, allows more airflow which adds less drag.  Certainly a plus in my books.  And I do agree with the built in screens, the glass ones are a hassle when clean but after a few bowls the 'rez' holds them in place.  
     
    If you go buy glass screens, clean your downstem and bring it with you.  I have seen different styles and some may not fit very well.
     
  8. What you have there is a 2 in one bowl and slider, the way it looks is the way youd use it no matter how ridiculous.
     
    Your best bet is to get a downstem that allows you to put a 14 or 18mm bowl of your choosing since you dont like the bowl on your downstem.
     
  9. My first bong came like that. It is a 14mm joint tho


    Just blazin' gnome sane

    One of my bongs came with something like that- It's simply a downstem. It's not a ground glass joint, but mine was able to fit a 18mm bowl and I could rip that thing.
