What Is The Point Of A Gravity Bong?

Discussion in 'DIY and Homemade' started by Old School Smoker, Sep 9, 2014.

  1. Is it that you do not want to inhale the butane from a lighter? I mean the smoke gets stuck in the chamber, and starts turn stale. Then you inhale it. How is that better than a regular roor bong? You get fresh smoke from a regular bong. I do not understand the rage for these things. Back in my day a grav bong was a fun "toy". It was a fad, fun to play with. But what a hassle compared to a regular bong!
     
     And these homemade thing should embarrass you. At least you can spend $1300 on a Vortex gravity bong.

  2. yeah.. when i was 15 they were fun, but then i learned that they suck pretty bad.
     
  3. I think you nailed it on the toy part haha. I have never seriously considered getting a GB for my daily toking but I won't object to using a GB once in a blue moon. I am totally satisfied by my bong so I don't need some crazy contraption like a GB in my life to make things crazy. Plus they are too harsh for my tastes, I don't mind coughing after some bong rips but I don't really care for the feeling of my lungs trying to rip themselves out of my chest and project through my mouth in a triumphant cannon blast of coughing madness just from trying to catch a buzz.
     
  4. My homemade gravity bong was my first smoking device.

    I imagine the idea behind it is like shotgunning a beer. One whole bowl in a single hit.

  5. Good god! I would not enjoy that because it's too much smoke and I may puke or something. One of the points of smoking (for us older folks, anyway), is to relax and enjoy the sesh. Like relaxing with a glass of wine after a hard day's work. It should be the same with weed. Let all that pent up tension unwind in you. 
     
  6. Every year that passes since I started smoking I started hating huge hits more and more and instead getting into the smaller bowls that savor the flavor. What I used to pack in my bong for one big hit now takes me 3 or 4 but I find that not coughing up bits of my rib cage and getting acid reflux for the next few days is a reward in and of itself.
     
  7. I added you as a friend squidrick
     
  8. Agreed

    I'll take small hits, it can take me 30 mins to finish a bowl

  9. the point is to get really high really fast with its massive hits. i prefer getting 3 hits out of a smaller bowl though. id never pay that much for a grav bong when i can make one with a bottle i have around the house, a bottle cap, bowl , scissors and a lighter for free..
     
  10. when we are young we want to take the largest hit possible! I have puked from GB, massive two litter hits. It's great when you are young and has shitty weed. Smoke if fast and hard to get best results.


    It's not peer pressure, it's just your turn.
     
  11. i find that there is a point where you waste the smoke on these massive tokes. your lungs can hold only so much air. when im alone i tend to take smaller rips and let my session last longer. its really annoying when i pack a bowl in the bong and toke with somoene else. i tend to get enough to fill my lungs and not cough my brains out, then pass it over for them to clear the whole damn bowl because "big hits make you more stoned". they just waste me weed.
     
    of course if someone else packs the weed and starts taking massive rips then its all good. 
     
  12. I thought the same way, and after spilling the water on carpet, etc. over the years, went to a volcano.  They're expensive, but pay for themselves pretty quickly I think.
     
  13. point of a gravity bong: to get super-duper-fucking-high! :metal:
     
    with that said i think they destroy your lungs. nothing makes me cough up a lung like a fucking gravity bong. i hate pretty much everything about it aside from that part that gets you super-duper-fucking-high! i will pass on them if there is something better going on. i like the smell, taste and experience behind really good medicinal grade marijuana more then i like getting so loaded that i cant function.
     
  14. Like other have said, to get fucking ripped. It can be made in 5 minutes, easily disposable of, can save weed, and generally it gets you stoned very quickly

  16. So heres what im thinking
    Ill try to posts pics bit ime new to the site abd high haha

    Buy a micky of something place the micky upside down and carve a hole in it to place a bowl
    Seal it all up and shit then open the lid light up and chug the booze


    It will act as a waterfall bong and suck the weed smoke into the bottle


    So you chug a micky (or a smaller bottle haha) then take a massive hit!!

    Im gonna try this on halloween
     
  17. I always do GB hits when Im low on weed, it makes a little bit go a long way. As for the smoke getting stale, it does to an extent but if you're fast enough it won't get too stale and still retains a lot of it's flavor. I'm sure the size and shape of the device makes it vary.
     
  18. What my roommates and I do is cut off the bottom of a large gatorade or soda bottle and a hole in lid tight enough to hold a bowl. My favorite thing to do is to take the bowl piece out after filling the bottle with smoke, put your mouth over the top and push the bottle back into the water (we fill a 3 gallon bucket and set it on the counter). It'll force a large volume of smoke into your lungs quickly, giving you a really heavy hit.
    We'll occasionally use it for tobacco or dokha as well because it gives you a MASSIVE head rush. One time I straight up vomited after taking a massive hit of dokha following several weeks without nicotine.
     
  19. I think the point of them is to smoke weed :smoking:  benefits of them, hell if I know, perhaps it(the smoke) is cooled better than water cooling due to it sitting around for a bit.  F that though haha.  
    I had a good friend back in Idaho that was all about them, I would always just pack a regular bowl, he had a nice piece and everything.

    Yup this is what we did too. It makes a huge amount of smoke...and someone left the suite door open in our dormitory and the next thing you know I'm having my first interaction with cops and bud. Not bad all in all. But I don't think I ever smoked one again.
