So I finally have the opportunity to buy a new bong. To keep things short, I can't have it sent to my house nor can I use my card to buy it. I want to get a nice bong from here, but I can't, so I'm going around tomorrow to some local smoke shops to browse their selection. I know it will be more expensive, but there's nothing I can do. So here's my question: What should I look for when buying a new bong? I have owned a decent bong before, cost $75 at this smoke shop in a mall (i know right?) but that shop got closed down (i wonder why -.-) so I have to make do with what shops I have locally. I would normally think "why does it matter, it's a bong, i'm gonna get blazed off of it no matter what," but I would much rather take some time in buying a new one because I want a good one. You guys have suggestions as to what I should look for in a good bong? Or suggestions as how I could buy one off of here? Thanks, and stay lit!
yeah man, any pre-paid (insert credit card company name here) card will be able to use online. You can even get a www.greendot.com or an accountnow.com card which are prepaid debits/bank accounts which work for buying online and withdrawing at ATMs, work with paypal too.
Read the OP's post. hahahaha Wow.... Well OP. I am in a similar boat; I'm buying a new bong after this week of working for my dad. Look for a bong that you like. One in your price range too obviously, but if you are a very careful person, don't be bothered too much to buy a more expensive bong that will last you a long time either. I would look for stuff you like. Straight tube with one down stem? Or something that is fancy as fuck with 82 percolating arms lol. Look for something with chambers, Percolators, Diffusers. It's also a good idea to buy a bubbling ash catcher/precooler. But make sure you test it there and MAKE CERTAIN it fits. An adapting down stem is a VERY good choice too. This helps when you are stuck choosing a nice bowl and are limited by size (if you're using glass on glass universal connecting pieces). Look for one that is stable if you add attachments to it. I bought my precoolers after I bought my bong and when it was on a table. the pre cooler did not fit, it was too long for the angel of the spout and it popped out with the added weight of the bowl, fell and broke a leg at the top. It was pretty useless after that. There are lots of things to look for
I believe I answered his question perfectly, buy prepaid visa you can do that with cash, have it shipped to a friends house or instruct the shipping company to leave it at the post office so you can pick it up, save tons cuz your LHS will most likely over charge you for some fake Roor bull shit.
You did, I just read my post again and I quoted the wrong person Sorry about that Edit. This is confusing. You answered one of his questions, but you still missed his main point.
