The Ultimate Bong Guide

The Ultimate Bong Guide



One of the most popular ways to consume cannabis is to smoke it in a bong. Bongs are a great way to enjoy your herb, providing an enhanced experience, pronounced and potent flavoring, and all natural water filtration.To get more news about glow in the dark mushroom bong, you can visit sharebongs.com official website.

Adding to the allure of bongs is the fact that they come in a wide array of types, styles and artistic designs. From minimalistic and functional, to decadent and creative, there is a style and design that is made to suit just about any purpose.
As you can imagine, given the broad range of options, there are also a number of other considerations that apply when figuring out the right type of bong for you.
What Is A Bong?
Simply put, a “bong” is just a much cooler name for a simple water pipe. That is, the smoke passes through a water-filled chamber, producing a cooler, more mellow flavor profile and is generally less harsh on the lungs. But while all bongs are water-pipes, not all water-pipes are bongs. More on that below….

Bongs Vs. Hookahs
Hookahs are a popular form of water-pipe, usually designed for smoking a tobacco preparation made with molasses. They are larger, have a mouthpiece connected by a hose (some have several hoses, for group smoking), and require some know-how to use. Some users mix cannabis with the tobacco, and there are hookahs designed for cannabis use alone, but a traditional hookah is best used as designed, for molasses tobacco only.

Bongs Vs. Dab Rigs
A bong has a pipe bowl for smoking herb, while a dab rig has a vaporizer attachment (a “dab nail”) for use with oils and concentrates. Dab rigs are also usually smaller than bongs, but some pipes can be used for both by switching up attachments. This is something to consider if you plan on dabbing.

Bongs Vs. Bubblers
All bongs bubble, but the term “bubbler” usually refers to bongs with a percolator, an interior chamber with many small holes that the smoke passes through on its way into the water. Dividing the smoke into lots of tiny bubbles, instead of a few large ones, exposes more of the smoke to the water, cooling it further and resulting in a super smooth pull and experience.

The Special Case Of Gravity Bongs
A gravity bong is basically a tube with a pipe bowl or “cap” at the top, and water in the bottom. Draining some of the water creates a partial vacuum that pulls air through the smoldering herb and fills the pipe with smoke. The user then removes the cap to inhale through the top of the pipe. Gravity bongs are popular, and they definitely involve water, but since the smoke never passes through the water, “bong” might be the wrong word for them.
