Bong, hands down. Steamrollers can be cool, but they're way to harsh on my throat to use on a regular basis.
IT depends on each piece..if I had any kind of pipe I would prefer it to be a steamroller - those things get you so high if its a big one Bongs are something every smoker should have tho If I had to choose just one it would be a bong I also like what someone else said about dry hitting a bong, I do that every now and then if I want to conserve bud
Bong for sure steamroller is too harsh and can get boring over time. And bongs at least to me is easier to smoke out of too so thats my opinion
wtf kind of question is this, a steam roller is pretty much a bong that can't hold water lol. Op would you rather burn your throat and get high, or just get high.
If I were forced to choose, it would be a bong. Unless the steamroller you're looking at happens to be an Incredibowl
bong no question. good mid range brands are SYN, ZOB, and Ehle. If you have a ton of dispensible income you could get a RooR (german only) or an illadelph. You could also look at Sheldon Black, Toro, Mobius, so on and so on. With water pipes what you pay is what you get to an extent. Personally you would be fine with a mid range piece. Especially since you almost bought a steam roller instead. a nice tube with a diffused downstem and you will be set
