Why and How to Use a Bong
The bangs have been around for hundreds of years, it’s a way of expanding consumption and their popularity has recently increased exponentially due to advances in water filtration systems, which make the experience the cigarette much more pleasant. Smoking from a bong is considered one of the healthiest ways to smoke dry herbs, aside from using a vaporizer which prevents combustion.
Benefits of Smoking with a Bong
We Flowers Cannabis will see why new generation water pipes are used more and more and what makes bongs so good.
Smoother Smoke Than with a Dry Pipe or a Rolling Paper
The main reason why most smokers prefer to use a bong over a traditional glass pipe is because of the water filtration that water pipes provide. When you smoke with blunt or regular glass pipes, you may inhale residue from burnt ash, tar, or other toxic substances. This is not the case with an acrylic or ceramic pyrex bong as the ashes are trapped in the water and therefore cannot reach your mouth. Bongs are also known to help trap and filter carcinogens and the potentially dangerous toxins from your dry herbs that would normally be inhaled when you smoke without a filter. The other benefit of filtering water is that it helps cool the smoke before you inhale it, making it easier on your lungs in terms of temperature and reducing irritation in your throat. When you compare the smoke from a bong to that from a standard dry glass pipe, the difference is much smoother, fresher and tastier. If you prefer to smoke in smaller quantities, bubblers offer the portability of a hand pipe, but with the water filtration of a bong. The bong is always superior because of its ease of use and the fact that it is less likely to clog than
WATER FILTRATION IS IMPORTANT
The water in your bong also helps filter out a large amount of tar, which is why your water isn’t as clean after use and turns brown. Keeping a clean bong is important to ensure that you get the best filtration and cooling possible. Smoking through dirty bong water is not a pleasant experience and will ruin the true taste of your herbs or concentrates. There are, however, experts who believe that smoking from a bong absorbs beneficial compounds found in CBD flowers. And that you actually have to smoke more with a bong to get the same effect with your dry herbs, since most of the compounds are absorbed by water.
The New Generation Bongs
With the advancement of bong technology in recent years, many new percolators, ‘ash catcher’ and styles have appeared to maximize and enhance your smoking sessions. For example, smoking from a bong with a percolator that is a few years old will create very large bubbles, but only cover a relatively small area. However, by using a newer percolator , which produces many more small bubbles, you have a much larger surface area and therefore better filtration and cooling of the smoke. If you really want to cast smooth casings, we strongly suggest you add an ash collector to your bang. This will add another level of water filtration and also trap any ash before it enters your bong, keeping your bong clean and performing at its best!
A Water Pipe can Cause Big Puffs
Let’s take an example, if you were to smoke a few CBD flowers in a classic rolling paper , it would take you about fifteen minutes to get through and a few more minutes to fully feel the effects. But if you used a glass bong, you could put the equivalent in a bowl and consume it in a minute, the effects coming much faster.
How to Smoke a Bong
If this is your first time smoking and you are not sure how to smoke a bong , follow the explanations below.
Fill Your Bong with Water
The amount of water you need depends on the type and size of your bong. The general rule is to fill the water just above any percolator or plunger holes in your water pipe. Another handy tip is to fill your bong with plenty of water when it’s new and vacuum as hard as you can. Water should enter your mouth, spitting out the excess water. Repeat this process until there is no more water entering your mouth. This is the perfect water level! It will be easy to remember for the next few times when you need to fill your bong.
Grind Your Dry Herbs
You can use your fingers, but it is always best to use a grinder to crumble well and prevent the nozzle from clogging. It is generally best to grind your CBD flowers as finely as possible, but not too finely so that they do not fall into the hole in your socket.
Put Your Herbs in The Socket of Your Bong
The socket, also sometimes called a bowl, is the funnel-shaped piece of glass that sits in the joint of your bong and holds your dry herbs. Fill this room with your grinder herbs well, firmly, but not too tightly packed. If you pack it too tight, you won’t let air through. It is always better to fill a small socket , because you can always refill it and don’t risk choking on too big a inhalation.
Turn on Your Socket
Hold the water pipe in one hand and place your mouth on the mouthpiece. Your lips should fit into this mouthpiece to create an ‘airtight seal’. While you inhale (pull on it while sucking in), use a lighter to light what is in the socket. Stop when you get the amount of smoke you prefer. Remove the bong socket and continue to inhale to empty the bong chamber of all smoke. If you have a carburetor, don’t remove the socket, just take your finger off this air intake.
Regarding the nozzles made for vaping, you just need to heat the quartz container with a torch.
And that’s all ! Now you know exactly how to smoke a bong!
