why is the SG stemline v2 getting me high with 1/3 of what I usually do?

  1. so I've been using my SG v2 for a few days now, and I'm really confused and shocked on why this piece is getting me so high so quick, compared to my previous RooR 18" perc :confused:

    the 1st nite I damn near passed out with 1/2 of what I do usually.

    the last couple of times, about 1/3 (about 2-3 small snappers) of a bowl, and I'm lit!

    I dont get it, since it's the same amount of material, just a different glass....can someone explain to me the physics behind this?
     
  2. It's all in your head bro.The bong doesn't get you high the bud does.
     

  3. exactly.

    that's why I'm hella confused.... if it was slightly less, I would say, sure, it's in my head.

    but literally 1/3 of what I do??? :confused:

    just doesn't make sense.
     
  4. You're probably just taking bigger hit's than you realize compared to your last tube.
     
  5. odds are the stemline has less drag, thus less suction on the weed is needed, and the bud will stay in place longer vs getting sucked through earlier because you had to pull harder.

    i can take a bowl of bud and make a 30 second milkshot out of a 7-13 arm itza or my design of gridded downstem to 13 toro, swap out the downstem in the toro for a chuggier design like 6 slitter or holes or something, and the bowl will suck through in 10 seconds maybe less.

    burning the same bud for 3x as long... well you see my point. THIS effect can change how high you get off the same bud. the tube only allows you to run higher water levels with less drag, thats what emulates getting you higher.
     

  6. I always grind mystuff, so I have an accurate idea of the amount I used and use now...I'm probably taking "longer" hits off the same amount, but not sure if this is the cause..


    yeah, I guess that kinda makes sense....perhaps I wasn't getting enough (or as much ) burn on the previous amounts, compared to this one.:eek:
     


  7. better glass equals better hits. :D
     
  8. it could be that you are just getting way bigger hits that are smoother so they feel the same but are biggerr ? :confused:
     
  9. Also the perc on your roor was nabbing a small portion amount of thc, much like any water filtration will. I find 2 well diffused water chambers or 1 well diffused with a carbon filter is perfect.
     

  10. yep, and I also think since I wasn't "grinding" the stuff before, I probably was wasting some of it.
     
  11. Where da milk vids at? We hunger.
     

  12. it's gonna be a while....hard to do it at nite in the dark cover :D:p
     
  13. Better diffusing glass = Take fatter smoother rips to the dome = get more ripped
     
  14. Shorthand: Rippage=Rips=Ripped
     
  15. Don't question it, just appreciate it :p
     

  16. water filtration takes out 0 thc, its not water soluable.
    and technically, bigger hits dun get ya higher.
     

  17. Apparently trace amounts are lost.
     
  18. if nice pieces didn't get you more ripped then we would all just smoke out of aluminum cans and call it good.
     

  19. hmm. i suppose. although since it adds 20 30% efficency in THC extraction vs a joint, i think it makes up for it.

    and if we had lungs of gods, sure.
    people get nice pieces because nicer pieces allow you to smoke more more quickly, thus getting you higher, with less pain of smoking. far as medicating goes.
     
  20. I think I know where your going with this...he he he
