Carbon Filter - Do you get as high?

    Just wondering. Supposedly THC particles are too big for activated carbon to absorb it, but I imagine there is at least some loss when passing through carbon in a carbon filter.

    Anyone notice significant differences in high when using one?

    All I notice is a much smoother hit which means. Bigger hits = more high. Win win

    What made the most sense to me was when someone explained it like this:

    Some THC is lost in the filter, but the amount of THC filtered out versus what the filters actually trying to get out is extremely small, and because of everything that's filtered out it allows more of the THC to reach the walls of your lungs (rather than the crap caught by the filter) so you still absorb the same amount, and just less other crap with it.

    Wow, so in truth it could possibly it gets you higher? I didn't expect that. I don't really understand the sublimation of MJ..

    I guess the smoke seems a lot less dense when I exhale so I felt like I was intaking less smoke per hit.

    Cheers.
