Spoons are great. I have a vaporizer and a bong, so I can't really take those any where so I picked up a nice little spoon for $20 bucks and I take it every where with me so I can smoke on the run.
yes, definitly buy a spoon you want to buy one in the 20-50 price range and look for some nice thick glass so it's durable. I have owned 5 spoons, 1 bubbler, 1 bong, and I used my old bowl alot.
spoons are ballin, but me and my boy just picked up like a little one hitter (you unscrew the end and put weed in it and then screw it back on and theres a little hole in the end of the screw on cap and the mouthpiece is wood) we use it for snowboarding and longboarding its really small and when its in your pocked you can have it packed and weed wont fall out got it for 10$ at the local shop. thats the only alt to a bowl that i can think of
