  1. whats the actual purpose in a percolator??
     
  2. per·co·late/ˈpərkəˌlāt/
    Verb:\t

    (of a liquid or gas) Filter gradually through a porous surface or substance.

    Google my friend....google.....
     
  3. its used to break the smoke down into smaller bubbles to create more surface area for cooling the smoke.. there is little filtration involved
     
  4. ....are you serious? no filtration from a bong with a perc...lol!
     
  5. Percs cool the smoke down quite signifigantly. They add a decent amount of filtration aswell. They also make it more entertaining to watch without much extra drag
     
  6. In a bong having a perk'd tube is just to add more diffusion, meaning a smoother hit.
    Each perk will also add more drag (have to pull harder to get the air moving), and poorly made ones will add a lot of drag, well made ones wont add much at all.
     
  7. Go ahead and read the CA NORML study on water filtration.. then come back and lol
     
  8. dude......clean your bong and put some water, LOOK AT THE WATER.

    take a hit, now look at the water.

    theres studies that marijuana causes brain damage aswell you believe those?
     
  9. That's mostly plant matter that gets pulled into your water when you smoke.
     
  10. yea and if u were smoking a pipe all that ash and plant matter would be in your mouth, so it is filtered in the water.....cmon guys.
     
  11. Haha, well, yeah.

    So, it's kind of filtration, but not smoke filtration.

    So, we're both right.
     
  12. maybe.. depends if you were part of that study
     
  13. we'll just agree to disagree before things get out of control :smoke:
     
  14. oh u got jokes huh? if water in your bong doesnt filter anything then why dont u take a sip after some bong hits, its gonna taste nasty as fuck....imma let u figure out why.
     
  15. Dude.. i didn't even say that it does not filter.. i said that it does little to filter... just because you piss into a coffee filter doesn't mean you got water
     
  16. nah bro it means u got coffee :)
     

  17. this. the bong water definitively filters the smoke, but does it filter any thc out? to my knowledge not enough to notice.

    now the true purpose of a percolator is to make the bong more expensive and to add something that makes it easier to break when you set it down a little too hard :rolleyes::p:eek:

    I dont like percs, they break way too easily and cost too much. I like a regular straight tube, if i want a super smooth hit ill use my vape :smoke:
     
  18. I suppose if Kevin Costner will drink it.. it's ok for everyone to drink
     
  19. source = MAPS - Volume 6 Number 3 Summer 1996 -
     
  20. I lol'd.

    I know you were being kind of sarcastic, but in a lot of cases, that's true.

    A good perc, however, won't break too easily. You must have had some bad un-reinforced tree experiences in the past..
